Shane Mumford

in Melbourne Demons

I actually read that as Geelong offering him 3 years, thanks though.

Nah mate, the paragraph above starts talking about the Swans losing Jolly, then flows in to them making an offer to Mummy.

"The Sydney Swans, who appear resigned to losing All-Australian Darren Jolly to Collingwood, are also in the market for a big man.

The Australian newspaper reports the club has offered Geelong youngster Shane Mumford a lucrative three-year-deal."

    If it's from Sydney, it would be lucrative.

    Here is the paragraph from The Australian;

    "A day after securing former West Coast ruckman Mark Seaby, Sydney was in negotiations with Geelong's out-of-contract ruckman Shane Mumford, who now appears destined to play for the Swans for the next three years.

    Geelong general manager of football operations Neil Balme yesterday conceded that Mumford's days at Skilled Stadium were numbered because his club was not in a position to match the Swans' offer, understood to be worth about $300,000 a year. However, the Cats appear certain to retain Mathew Stokes on a two-year contract, while Mark Blake, who was preferred to Mumford in the finals series, is considering a two-year offer."

    Sydney's added an extra year to the deal (now more than $1 million over 4 years), and Mumford has asked Geelong to be traded:

    Mark Blake will wish it was him going to Sydney. He is negotiating a 2 year contract and his understudy is accepting a 4 year deal.

    Flag window aside.

    That's a crazy contract for a nobody like Mumford. He's a lucky boy.

    Goes to show what a rare commodity ruckmen are!

    What's fair compensation for Geelong now? Sydney has thrown away pick 22 in the Seaby deal, which would have been a fair swap. 38 won't be good enough and 14's a bit rich. Mumford and 33 for pick 14?

    they have 28 as part of the staker/seaby/buchanan deal.

    that will probably come to play.

    dunno why geelong thing he will be their number one ruck

    for the moment: seaby> mumford

    Thanks classy, didn't realise about 28. Not sure if Geelong would accept that straight up, but should go close.

    The Cats are whinging cos Mumford wants to go to Sydney to be number 1 ruckman for 4 years and a million dollars.

    What are the Cats offering?

    3rd backup behind Blake and a pittance because they have no room in the cap.

    How can they begrudge him this move..? Absurd.

    If they REALLY want Mumford to stay that badly, they'd hand him the salary allocated for Mark Blake and send Blake elsewhere.

    Given that the average wage of a footballer is $180,000 and Mumford is an improving ruckman being offered $260,000 a year, I dont think it's that big of a deal.

    What's Warnock on?

    Hey I'm no expert, not even close, I tend however to think that there are a few people on here that really know their stuff.

    In the same breath I find it amazing that so many people on Demonland just write players like Mumford off, suggesting he's not even worth considering. Yet an expert in the field, Paul Roos is willing to offer a 4 year deal worth over one million dollars whilst the current premiers, who just lost him, publicly state their displeasure.

    Reminds me of the same bunch that wrote Prismall off this time last year and wouldn't entertain us forwarding an offer of Pick 35!

    Some truth in that.

    It's the 4 year deal more so than the money.

    1mil for 4 years is reasonable, but [censored] that's a very good contract for a 23 year old who so far is going on potential alone.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
