Is 2 years the new maximum that can be signed now?

I would have no hesitation signing both morton and grimes to 4 year deals.

Its going to make it hard in 2 years time when all these now young guys are coming out of contract all at the same time!!

Keeps them all on there toes & Flying. Those that Perform stay.

Good move by the club. Too many long contracts turn sour in this contact sport

The Team lists are not long enough for extended contracts.

2 years is fair for all... gives them a good wicket..aso if they are what they ought to become then the next contracts offered them will be more thanlikely 3 years on much bedtter terms.. Its a natural progression really.

For us it locks them away from GC and WS :) :) :)

Grimes should've been given a ten year contract.

I am very confident Grimes will be a one club player but i am really pleased the club has shown restraint unlike previous administrations by offerening a 2 year contract

I was just being silly.

I completely agree, it is great the club has learnt from the past and is only giving out 2 year contracts. Maintaining discipline and aspiring to be better are fast becoming cornerstones of the club.

stefan martin may have a new contract but he should be dropped to Casey this week. he had 5 touches in a team that won by 10 goals - not good enough, 6 touches the wek before. Maybe a one year contract would have been enough. Look at Newton - stuck with him for another year!

No, disagree and poor comparison. Martin can play up forward,down back and pinch hit in the ruck capably in a senior afl team. He is tall, athletic, super quick, strong and durable and has a lot of upside. If we didnt sign him for 2 years someone else would love to. Carlton and Hawthorn would love to have him.

Poor comparison. Newton has had more time, and shown less, than Martin, whose upside is enormous and visible. He can play back, forward, or ruck. Newton can't even play one position with competence.

I think Martin might be injured.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
