No

Yes sorry misunderstood what you said - I agree 

 

Thought he'd end up at the saints, not sure how much game time he'd get at the others

 

interesting to see we we trade for him or if the view by clubs is that we will delist him anyway and someone can pick him up for nothing as a DFA.

 

2024 squad = 45. 😭ANB (crows) BBB ()Gus (med ret) , Hunter () JS29, KFW, Schache. Tomlinson likely to go.  
37
??? Marty Hore??? Staying or delisted???

️Gawn, Petracca, Viney, May, Oliver (tbc) ❤️kozzzy  (6)

soldiers: Rivers, McVee , Lever, Windsor, JVR, Bowey, Chandler,  Fritsch, Howes, Langdon, Petty, Salem, Sparrow, Tholstrup, Turner (15)

The one more year club… ANW,  Woey jnr, KBrown,… Verrall, Sestan,  Billings, Fullarton, Spargo, Kentfield, Tmcd*, Melksham* (could be high turnover at end of 2025)  (11) 

The two more years club …  Jefferson, Adams, Laurie, McAdam (contracted to 2026) (4) and ??? Tom Campbell  - unsure of contract length

him - who?

I think it is Tomlinson.

Can't blame Lamb when we pickup no one. It was own goals that caused all that. 

 

 

Tomlinson from depth to depth?

You don’t think anyone watched Tomlinson the last few years and thought he was a best 22 player right?

Moving from Steve May’s back up to competing with Billy Frampton would be a smart move for him though. 


Collinwood must have remembered Tomlinson's career best game against them in Kings Bday 2023, the one where he got dropped the following week.

Thought he'd be an ok Battle replacement FWIW

With Wilkie and Howard the Saints don’t need to play 3 experienced talls, depth would help but the smart long term play for them is to expose some kids.

Tx for this 

Not much of a return from old Schacke.

Same with McAdam. I wish we could move him along.

Sad about Anb.

Definitely worth keeping Milk.

Hunter can go.

 

It’s AMW please. Beaver sorry Deever!!!

I was talking about Nibbler aka Anb.


2024 squad = 45. 😭ANB (crows) BBB ()Gus (med ret) , Hunter () JS29, KFW, Schache. Tomlinson likely to go.  
8 off the list. Down to 37
??? Marty Hore??? Staying or delisted???Likely to stay with Tomlinson going. 
 

Add in Campbell and Sharp*, plus potentially another DFA (Parfitt?). Add in 4 in the draft (and leave room for Mentha as a cat B rookie).

this is the current lay of the list (u can see where i adjsuted from numerical order to adding players as they get added. 

believe mcvee and AMW* need to be upgraded at the 3yr mark

*AMW can be delisted? or moved to the A list as he's under the 10 game threshold.

so two of the grey tiles would be filled therefore blocking out a 6th and 7th 'A' rookie#

#jsmith off the list would also make way for mcvee, tomlinson for amw and then we'd be in the position of having the two ND picks and 2 'A' spots which could be filled during the draft, or by yzes boy (unlikely) or by SSP or left for MSD

Assume Tomlinson is departs.  
Asdume js29 departs. 
Assume Hore gets another year as a rookie. 
Assume McVee and AMW promoted to main list. 
37 listed. Add Campbell, Sharp, 5&9.  That’s only 41.  
Plenty of room for three further additions of DFA or draft or SSP additions (plus add Ricky Mentha as Cat B rookie). 

Departures off the 2024 squad - traded: 😭ANB (crows) BBB ()Gus (med ret) , Hunter () delisted: JS29, KFW, Schache & Tomlinson

You should list KFW completely separately because he's a B Rookie (and can only be replaced by such) while all the others are primary list players.

By all means also list Hore separately as an A Rookie too.


Quinton Narkle apparently being delisted, thoughts?

Couldn't make it at 2 clubs before, including Geelong who have proven to be incredible at identifying and developing talent. No reason to think he would work here.

Played 3 finals this year,  wouldnt grab him for best 22, but if we're after free depth does it hurt to ask the question?

Everything from our trade period suggests we aren’t that keen on free depth.

Tom Campbell was important to cover Max.

Otherwise I expect to see Laurie, Billings, Woey, AMW and even Kynan Brown, Sestan getting chances rather than Narkle level guys.

We might have 1 spot for a ready made mid if we go for 2 raw players in the draft, otherwise I expect see 5 and 9 added to the depth list too.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
