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.

 

him - who?

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.

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!!!

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).

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.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
