Melbourne have re-signed a host of important AFL players, with Brent Moloney, Nathan Jones, Clint Bartram, Sam Blease and Jack Grimes all signing new two year deals.

Maloney, Jones, Bartram and Blease are now locked away until 2012, while Grimes, who was already signed on for next year, has recommitted to the club until the end of 2013.

But it seems certain Richmond midfielder Richard Tambling has played his last game for the Tigers, with the 24-year-old confirming he and the club have agreed to part ways.

Adelaide are the early favourites to snare Tambling, who still has two years to run on his current contract.

"I felt the need to start fresh again and get the love of the game back into me and the club agreed on (me) seeking elsewhere," Tambling told Melbourne radio.
