    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
