Jamar has only looked like a decent footballer this year, I've been his biggest critic, but this year he has really shown something.

1 year sounds good to me, keep playing like this, prove it's no fluke, and get a better contract at the end of it / or/ improve his market value even more.

If he goes back to being Donuts, then we aren't locked into anything.

WTF???

I hope they know what they're doing here. If we sign Miller and then keep Newton as well....surely not.

First post today, a pleasant surprise - awesome new site skin!!

Newton is contracted for another year, which is exactly why a 1 year deal for Miller is a very smart move.

Don't need to be locked into longer-term contracts with borderline best 22 players.

Miller has a role to play off the field, and maybe on it as well, depending on injuries and the development of Watts in 2010. We lose nothing by giving him 1 year, as he would have netted us nothing in trade week.

Interesting they are both one year contracts, that smells of Miller to GC17 to me.

We were stuffed next year if we did not resign Jamar, surprised he did not get at least a 2 year deal

How does Miller do it? Really, just how does he do it.

1 Year? Anything to do with GC17?

EVERYTHING to do with GC. Miller has to put himself in line for the best money he can get. The trouble is, just because they CAN take him doesn't mean they WILL.

The Jamar one is of more concern. Only one has to sacrifice themselves to GC. Jamar on one year perhaps is just agreed upon so that he knows next year's trade period (which could be EQUALLY as busy) will see his name floated again.

LOL @ 1 year extensions.

1 year is very odd!

I understand the Gold Cost scenario on our behalf, but why would a player agree to a 1 year deal?

Unless of course Miller has his heart set on going back to QLD.

Jamar on a 1 year extension is weird.

My thoughts. However, all player managers were on notice by GC to have their players leave their options open for next year, I think it's a good move on both sides. It could indicate the Dees topping up with a pick from GC next year.

1 year is odd. Jamar should have got 2. Maybe he wants to keep his GC options open.

Both player & club.

Leaves Miller placed to be our out of contract offering to GC next year should that need arise.

If he has a blinder of a season, we might regret it. More likely, we will like it.

If he has a blinder, maybe the latter.

Miller 1 year is a good result for us and for Miller. Glad he is staying too, despite his abilities.

Jamar 1 year, seems strange to me.

Agree on both counts.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
