    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.

    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

    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."

    From the class of 2025, I'd give Melksham and TMac another year. Sign up Howes for 2 year extension, McVee gets a 5 year deal, Spargs a 2 year extension. Rookie wise AMW is really the only stand out that deserves elevation. The others i dont know enough about.

    2026 - don't need to worry about it yet but i wouldn't renew McAdam or Laurie. May would be considered for a 1 year extension if his form warrants it and body allows, which at this stage is still good enough. Salem i reckon retires, whilst others at this stage should all be offered a new contract.

    2027 Gawn champion - would love for him to get to 300 games. Going to be really close if he can manage his body right and we get to play a final or two. Realistically will probably need another year, which we should absolutely give him. Want him to be most games played, most games captained, most AA etc etc. He deserves every individual accolade. All others (bar Sharpie) should get another contract

    2028+ too far away to make any major calls, but Viney probably retires.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
