MELBOURNE has added to its import army by signing delisted Geelong defender Tom Gillies.
Gillies, 22, was signed to a one-year deal as a delisted free agent before today's 2pm deadline.
All players cut from club lists automatically became delisted free agents and could be recruited by other teams.
The 192cm defender has been training with the Demons.
"As a big bodied, tall defender, Tom fills a need within our playing group," Melbourne list manager Tim Harrington told the club's website.
"Having been part of the AFL system for four years and entering his fifth, we believe Tom has a lot to offer the Melbourne Football Club."
Gillies played 13 games for the Cats but couldn't crack a regular senior berth and his prospects dived when Geelong snapped up Jared Rivers from Melbourne to cover for retired full-back Matthew Scarlett.
The two clubs have swapped several players this post-season, with former Cat Shannon Byrnes now a Demon.
Melbourne dumped a host of underperforming youngsters and has brought in experienced players from other clubs including Chris Dawes, David Rodan and Cam Pederson.
