    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
