Why would you do that? :blink:

I know!

Burning plastic?

I hope they had proper ventilation...

Although, if they didn't, it would explain a few things...

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 !!

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.

    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.

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.
