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!!

Great news and more to come. Hope to hear soon that Petterd has signed for at least two years.

And Maric and Aussie too.

Also a 10 year deal for Jurrah that forbids him from leaving us to go home thanks :lol:

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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
