First list update for the year 2025!

I am listing Moniz-wakefield as a "Cat.A Rookie" I know there is some confusion as to this, It is possible he is still a "Cat.B Rookie"

this means we have 1 position available for a "Cat.B' player (this is to be confirmed as it may actually be three "Cat B" positions now!)

OR

we have 1 "Cat A" rookie spot left (and possibly 1 "Cat B" if the AFL have indeed increased the limit to three)

Hopefully the Club will Update us at some stage as to Moniz-Wakefield's Status

In addition to these six rookie-listed players, each club can include up to three additional players (now referred to as Category B rookies) on its Rookie List provided the player either:

How did Lindsay and Langford get 3 year deals? I thought it was 2 when you get drafted?

Rule Change this year... 3 Years for picks under 20, 2 years for the rest :)

Allowed 2 B-Rookies.

2023 CBA

To clarify the rookie tenure rules.

Somewhere on DL it was assumed the new 5 year/10 AFL game rule does not apply to B rookies.  I've found nothing from the AFL/AFLPA nor any club to support that assumption.   

The assumption was that, because a media report listed AMW as an A rookie, the new rule doesn't/can't apply to B rookies.  That 'logic' doesn't compute as there may be other reasons AMW is no longer a B rookie eg because the club needed two B rookie spots to draft Andrew and Mentha.  The status change for AMW would be a timing coincidence not because the new rule doesn't apply to B rookies.

so I am unsure if this is new and we can have 3 B rookies?,

either the 2023 CBA is out of date, or the AFL website is out of date...

The AFL often do not date their releases so should be used with caution. That link is very old; definitely pre covid.

The 2023 CBA is the current 'bible'.   It runs until 2027 with adjustments as and when announced.

Can someone clarify if we can list Noah Yze? Surprised no one has asked JT.

As AMW appears to be an A Rookie the answer no, as we don't have a list spot.

It would be wonderful if the club would be nice enough to update us re AMW...

probably asking a bit much

Edited by red and blue forever

Can anyone confirm if we have a full list, or do we still have room for potential SSP or mid season spots?

We only have 1 Cat B rookie spot available

Agree. We didnt have a pick in the rookie draft which meant our a list is full. If we had a spot we cpuld have passed to keep it free.

We are rolling with 43 players this year including mentha as our sole cat b. 

Complete buffoon when it comes to these things but we lost 8 players and only gained 6…. So if we only have one spot left I’m utterly confused

The buffoons are the AFL that have so many vague rules around player categories and list management.

Your count is correct for end of season changes. 

The difference is Kentfield was our notional 'replacement' for Brayshaw in the mid-season draft.  Brayshaw remained on the list giving an overall list of 45, one over the allowed 44. 

So now we need to 'lose' one more than we gain to get back to 44.

Copy that! Very much appreciate it

happy to be called out on this for being wrong or jumping too early, but i like to document my thoughts a year out and see how close i think to the actual list managers

for EOS 25

Retire: Melksham, McDonald

Delist: Hore, Fullarton, Billings, Howes, AMW, Sestan

Laurie to move down to rookie list too with a 2026 contract

McDonald could get another 1yr, Campbell could be 1 and done

Feel like Howes, AMW and Woey are playing for one maybe two spots on the list, woey the most versatile

Could also see a McAdam pay out like Hunter this year, its not beyond us to make these moves

Agree with a number of players Turner  but not on Howes and AMW believe these two are in our long term plans as is Woey but time will tell.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
