Andy Moniz-Wakefield is a Cat A-Rookie.

We have one Cat-B Rookie Spot.

Kudos for updating this list. I come here regularly throughout the season.

Surely Sharp got more than a one year contract when crossing over from Brisbane?

yeah, that is a bit hard to tell, I can find no official details anywhere on the length of the contract he got. it was not reported anywhere in the media.  but the other contract sources suggest it was only 1 year

Update for Jack Henderson

I assume Henderson comes onto the Main list not to the cat.b Rookie, and I think it is only for the one year

I wonder if we can still sign a Cat B rookie?

Given we are doing an Irish themed round 1, would be nice to announce our first Irish player in how many years?!? Must be about 30!

Henderson goes onto the rookie list - not the main/senior list or cat b list.

 

We still have a cat b selection in which we can sign someone who fits the criteria at any time.

Marc McGowan from the age confirmed it at the time of the trade too actually. Good on him. Good security.

Yeah made sense for both him and us, young player who was an emergency for a grand final. Also good on the lions, who could’ve easily held him to that contract for additional depth but were happy to let him go… unlike a certain orange team

Brilliant work red and blue forever.👍😁

Could someone answer this question regarding the status of our two recent SSP recruits.

The chart above classifies both Jack Henderson and Jai Culley as Category A rookies.

Henderson replaced Shane McAdam who is a Primary listed player while Culley replaced Andy Moniz-Wakefield, a Cat A rookie. Does this mean that irrespective of the status of the inactive list player being replaced, a SSP player is automatically Category A?

Yes.

Our overall 'Allowed' list size goes from 44 to 46 for this year only where we will have 8 Cat A rookies instead of 6.

Note:  we still have a Cat B vacancy so all up the current list size is 45.

McAdam and AM-W keep their current status and are counted accordingly.

At the end of the year, SSP players can be promoted to Primary list, remain Cat A or delisted.

Not sure where else to put this:

"With as many as 18 Melbourne players currently out of contract, a trio of developing prospects — including two untried rookies — have made their way into the notebooks of rival recruiters as they build strong reserves form.

Category B rookie Andy Moniz-Wakefield remains unsigned more than two months after suffering a cruel ACL rupture during match simulation earlier this year.

...

Meanwhile, two of his uncapped teammates from the 2022 Rookie Draft — Oli Sestan and Will Verrall — are putting together strong VFL campaigns as they push for an AFL debut."

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
