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.

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.

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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
