    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: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
