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...

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

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'.

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.

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.

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.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
