just wondering if anyone else heard on "sen" this morning that "ricky pettard" has told the MFC club he doesnt want to talk about contract renewal until the end of 2010...thoughts?????

 

There is about 400 threads on this topic already

i dont think we have to much to worry about.

he might just want to concentrate on the season and leave it till the end

hope he stays
 

The guy's just trying to get as much money as he can. Good on him. If he stays at Melbourne, that's great. If he leaves, then that's just how it goes. At least we may have a little more room in our cap.

We'll get compensation too.

And... even though it was ridiculed when it was floated a few weeks ago, the idea that clubs would inflate B&F performances to get better compensation has now been raised in the Hun (don't have the link right now).

That's interesting. It seems that Mark Thompson isn't interested in doing that for Gary Ablett, though, based on his post-match interview last week. I guess he really wants him to stay, no matter what the cost.

Most people who are given a lot all at once are less careful with what they spend. I think GC and GWS might also fall into this trap. They will have a lot of money and some pretty juicy picks to trade, and I think they might just be a little less than frugal in their dealings with the currently existing clubs. I hope we can take advantage of this, if it comes to it.

There won't be any trading though, unless we lose more than one player to GC17.

The AFL will decide compensation for players leaving to join Gary Clifford Irons (or, rather, Ken Wood will decide)

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
