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 !!

    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.

  • Quote

    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...

  • Quote

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
