I would look to return the favour. See if they have anyone we would like who could be available and if unsuccessful drive the price up.

Do we really want this, Redleg? If we drove Alwyn's price up last year, and they drove Aaron's up today, I'd rather leave it at that rather than have the Montagues and Capulets obliterating each other's salary caps in the future every time someone comes out of contract.

Exactly. This may have been in response to Melbournes attempts to lure Alwyn last year.

Essendon is probably one club you wouldn't want to get into this sort of battle with.

This is wonderful news on so many levels.

So Aaeon is now on Top Coin-GOOD that means i expect TOP CONSISTENT Football from a club leader.

This will also help all our other indigenous players to stick together & Learn.

Remember you must spend Money to Make Money & Aaron is worth that investment, as long as he holds up his end of the Bargain.

In years passed we would have lost the Flash to a big 4 Club, But we are a new club whose balls are starting to Drop, & we are Going to be a Power Side in future Years.

Mr MOJO RISING......

Happy to have this over and done with......

Thanks to the club for keeping us all informed, and to Aaron for making the obviously correct decision, although we seem to have buckled on the terms (four year deal instead of three) under his apparent demands and his alleged threats of leaving. This is unfortunate and Jaded is right, I just hope we didn't pay too far over the odds to keep him. But this is what it is now.

But to those that were burning their memberships, you may just want to settle down in future and wait for the facts ^_^ !!!

yep...as you say Queen . Am A bit surprised the club agreed to 4 but am sure the club did what was in teh best interest of the club. I say that now but probably wouldnt have been so confident a few years back :rolleyes:

Well Aaron that contract is a 2 way street lad.... Im sure you WILL reward the club for its faith... balls in your court.. Do something with it !!

yeah cos they are quite happy to pay over the odds.

or more like Melbourne aren't able to.

Plus, you have so much young talent coming through, it could get dangerous.

Still, we are all just guessing really, I'm sure the [censored] for tat will stop now.

na, they might be tight at m.f.c but they are also right not offer guys like warnock and prismall the kind of money they were being offered elsewhere given thier respective circumstances. the bombers might have been trying to push his price up, but the reality is you also have to be prepared to pay it. they take as many chances off the field as they do on it.

Not really.

They made us pay over the odds for him. They screwed us big time even if they didn't get him in the end. They definitely wouldn't be crying themselves to sleep tonight.

So what did we pay for him? Does anyone know?

All in all its good he has resigned but would be interested to know if anyone can confirm whether his resigning came at high cost as other have said. Have seen no indication of how much $. Although it would be highly unlikely that either MFC or Aaron's Management would disclose these details to General Public at this time.

Did anyone see Cameron Schwab twitter yesterday arvo?

"By the way, Essendon never made an offer to Aaron Davey. Focus was securing Aaron and his family's future beyond his playing career"

Sort of takes the wind out of the rumor that the price tag has been inflated by the bombers if true...

Does it really matter what we have paid him? We had to pay a higher percentage of the salary cap anyway, and were not going to get a superstar. We have secured the most important player to the mfc until the end of his career.

Although I don't completely agree with the term of the contract, I can only see positives in this.

Who ever said that davey held the club to ransom- quite simply, you are a fool.

    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,
