    Surely they won't let Neal-Bullen stay unsigned for much longer.

    They might have a bigger priority.

    I hope not. Role players are integral to the team imo.

    I am definitely old school but l dob't know why the AFL plays speculator on players criss-crossing clubs.

    One of the first Free Agency moves could be James Jordon to Sydney. The return to Melbourne is likely to be modest.

    James Jordon

    Unrestricted free agent – Melbourne to Sydney

    Jordon is a rare case as a younger unrestricted free agent and holds his status because he was delisted by the Demons earlier in his career. 

    The 22-year-old made 17 AFL appearances in 2023, but six of them came as the starting substitute. A Victorian, he’s believed to move to the harbour city in search of greater opportunities. 

    The nomination was reported last week by AFL Media’s Cal Twomey but is yet to be confirmed by either the Swans or Melbourne

    Trade radio keep pretending there actually is a formula to the compensation, and actually tried to communicate that at one stage, but they keep saying from age 25, etc, etc. I did note they said it was sliding scale depending on age, the younger the player the lower the salary needs to be for compensation.

    Given JJ is only 22, surely the compensation should be higher than what we would expect?

    Providing a transparent mechanism for calculating free agency compensation would go against everything that the AFL stands for.

    I'd be happy if we pick up Riley Bonner as a delisted free agent.

    No world beater, but would add additional kicking skills and could play at half back and allow us to move a Rivers or Salem more permanently further up the ground.

  • Quote

    Not sure if Trent Bianco from the Magpies has been offered a new contract yet.

    I recall him having pretty impressive kicking skills.

    Perhaps worth a shot if he ends up being a delisted free agent?

    Here is an old article regarding Trent Bianco from a few weeks ago: https://www.sen.com.au/news/2023/08/03/the-out-of-contract-magpie-that-has-some-interest-from-rival-clubs/

    I also found a highlights video from 2021:

     

    Worth giving a 2nd chance maybe?

    Trivia question for the future.

    Who was the first free agent to change clubs in 2023?

    James Jordon (Melbourne to Sydney) for an end of second round draft pick.

    • Ben McKay (North Melbourne) headed to Essendon

    • Tom Doedee (Adelaide) has chosen Brisbane

    • Joel Hamling (Fremantle) is expected to nominate Sydney

    • Matthew Flynn (GWS Giants) has chosen West Coast Eagles

    • Todd Goldstein (North Melbourne) is off to Essendon

    • Scott Lycett (Port Adelaide) St Kilda, Geelong and Melbourne* have shown some interest

    • Jade Gresham (St Kilda) is set to play at Essendon

    * unlikely now that it looks like the Demons are getting Tom Fullarton from Brisbane.

  • Quote

    Very average list to choose from this year.

    I do like Toby McLean from the Dogs though, was sensational in their premiership year and has just had a tough time with Injuries since.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
