I believe there are still 33 senior players left on the list as printed. Maybe you counted Tommo and ANB as off the list ?, thanks for your hard work Luci, hard to keep up with all the comings and goings.

Yes, thanks for picking that up,   

 

Fixed now :)

Cheers.  The thanks go to @red and blue forever as he has taken over this thread.

And agree it is tricky keeping up with all the changes at this time of year.

Confession time:  it was me that suggested to randbf the number was 32!!!  I inadvertently excluded ANB.

Hunter was re-signed through to 2024 at the Dogs.

So we must have given him an extra year to coax him to the MFC.

Either way, unbelievable that he'll be with us next year.

I still don't think this has been confirmed anywhere. 

The only news sources available that I can find state 2024. Sure there are some other unofficial sites that list him as 2025, but no primary or even secondary sources that I can find.

We don’t have to fret any more as MFC have advised that Lachie Hunter effectively retired today.


Well done red and blue forever, so if Adam Tomlinson moves on, we work out a deal for ANB and we don’t re-sign Marty Hore we have a lot of spots to fill.!!!

Hi Red&Blue thanks for all your good work. 
Do we know for certain that Melksham was retained as a rookie and not put back on the main list?

Does AMW need to find his way to the main list like mcvee? He has had 3 years as a b rookie but i can't find the rule about whether he can have a fourth?

Way to go with ANB and Hore. Tommo not fazed either way.

Very good question, I am not sure, and have been wondering the same.

Update for Tom Campbell joing us in Free agency.

I am struggling to find out the length of the contract anywhere, so I have put him in for 2 years - 2026 - This is a Guess.

I will update this if required when i can get some proper information on his contract.

Thanks red and blue forever.❤️💙


The list is not a bad spread.   14 players 22 or under  the rest split evenly mid 20's and late 20's to early 30's  Then add in another probably 5 or 6 younger ones at draft.   Gives the opportunity for rebuild whilst retaining experience.   If they lose both Hore and Thomlinson we will be desperate for some back up defenders.

Why is Campbell signed for 2 years? I thought it would be only 1 considering his age.

Update for Sharp.

Again unsure at this stage of the contract lengths for Campbell and Sharp to some guesswork being employed

footywire has Campbell until 2025

I'd guess Sharp would have a minimum of two years given his age.

We have the following jumper vacancies: 10, 12, 19, 20?, 27?, 29, 30, 34, 43

  • 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.

    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?
