Lovin' it.

[JACKATTACK 17]

Smart lads those two.

Nothing could some up my feelings better than this:

This is brilliant news. I probably would have cried if these two boys took the money and ran. These two are going to be two that need to be at the top of their game when we're having a genuine crack at finals.

The Melbourne Football Club means something again.

This is even Bigger than the great Northey years. This Club is going to be Loathed & envied again as it should.

Thanks Jimma. I hope Ricky Petterd thinks long & Hard about his Future.

I wouldn't want to shake Jim Stynes Hand & say goodbye-not even to go back to my Home state. B)

Bring on Next Saturday Night...

This news has made me a tad aroused.

[Range Rover 1,935]

It's multiple premiership tilts at the MCG with Melbourne versus year after year of mediocrity at zero-atmosphere Carrara ...

No-brainer.

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Hands down the best news I've heard since finding out Jordan McMahon was being traded to Richmond

[Adzman 2,154]

Anyone got any tissues? Actually, a mop might be better...

Love to know that this club is somewhere players want to play. Knowing the players love the club as much as we do brings a tear to my eye (figure of speech, I am saving every tear for a premiership!!)

awesome news.. really really important players to our club

they have both been through 2-3 years of rebuilding and getting belted.. so there is no point in jumping off now and going togold coast to start all over again

Wyl, you keep saying this all the time, (see above). Do you have something against Barassi, & Jordan????

[Little Goffy 14,451]

Hi, yeah, sorry Gold Coast <insert brand name here>'s, My contract is being front ended to the edge of oblivion, the club is banking salary cap room like Switzerland, and I kinda like the idea of making history at the home of football, and making old men weep with joy, alongside a group of elite players who I can play out my whole career with and have already shared the bad times.

No disrespect, but I'll stick with the 'beloved club' instead of the 'entertaining franchise'.

[P-man 13,366]

As it should be. Fantastic news.

John did a fantastic job over 5 years after 23 years of nothing-Maybe its my age but Northey woke up the demon hopefully as Dean Bailey will do.

No offence to Slug or RDB at all, But John Northey was a no name coach who got 110% out of the Demons during his time.

Have either of them put pen to paper yet? I will feel elated once both of them have resigned.

Morton signed a 3 year deal last year, IIRC.

I think I remember Scott Clayton (Gold Coast recruiting manager, former Bulldogs) saying that he thought Morton was the best player in his draft and one of the best young players in the game. Although that could have been my own imagination.

Not your imagination, I recall Clayton saying this about Morton on multiple occasions.

It's one reason I was so relieved last year when Cale did sign the new contract because I was certain he'd be one of their top targets.

All good now.

So is it possible that Quarterbrain confused Morton with Petterd?

If Morton is signed (I have no recollection of that, but I'm sure you're right), why would GC approach him?

Frawley and Petterd are extremely close, so if one chooses to stay I think the other might seriously consider it too.

[e25 5]

They can't both go.

But yeah, I thought this was strange too.

I'd be interested to hear exactly what he said - anyone able to get it on YouTube?

You're right about Petterd & Chip being close, from what I'm told.

If he has that would be better news but the way Petterd had shaped his replies to the question recently leads me to think that he is still giving it some thought or has possibly already signed.

There were comments when he signed that Gold Coast were into him when he was signing.

He resigned for 2 years.
