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!!

Happy days! :D

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
