5 players sign new deals

Great news.

Jack Watts has re-signed for three years. Matthew Bate, Lynden Dunn, Rohan Bail & James Strauss have signed two year deals

 

Great news, but would love to have seen Jones' name i that article

 

good to see they see a future in straussy! alot of ppl on here were starting to question whether he would remain on the list at years end.


Bruce is one off the top of my head

Jones, Bruce and Warnock rumours will continue until they are signed.

I personally would prefer to see all 3 stay at the club, however at least none of these 3 players are absolutely core players to our team moving forward.

Warnock- i'd keep as depth, but really our 5th best tall option in defence these days

Bruce- a definite best 18 player but is 30 yrs old and won't be playing for more than 2-3 more years

Jones- a really well-liked gutsy player, still young, but lets be honest, he isn't the core player that's going to lead us to a premiership. Even this year, with our young midfielders all undeveloped, he only finished 13th in our b&f. would still love him to stay, i believe he can still improve.

Overall though, a pretty good result. Imagine if we'd left James Frawley or Aaron Davey unsgined till now.

Warnock has a year on his contract, doesn't he? Sure that he will come up in discussions regardless.

Good day for the club.

Great result for the club.

Watts on a 3 year, front-loaded deal no doubt, makes it easier for when we have to resign the likes of Jurrah/Scully/Trengove etc...

 

IS TOM SCULLY SIGNED????!

Great news. Not sure about the decision to sign Strauss for two years though. One year provides greater flexibility. IMO we have made this mistake before with Newton and Cheney.


IS TOM SCULLY SIGNED????!

Seriously?? Initial 2 year deal

IS TOM SCULLY SIGNED????!

Got a standard 2 year contract when drafted, so still has a year to go. I'm sure they'll get him to sign an extension soon, but clearly those out of contract take first priority.

Thanks guys.... & girls, yes I forgot about the standard 2 year deal. Would be nice to see him tucked away for another year or two after 2011 to keep him well away from any GWS temptations.

Obviously everyone else listed here needed to be done first.

Well done Tim Harrington ... keep up the sensational work. Another outstanding member of our off-field team we are very, very lucky to have you. Appreciate your contribution.

Thank-you

Go Deesssssss!!!!


has sam blease signed? he is out of contract...surely we won't let him go?

Not a chance.

Hell, we re-signed Strauss, didn't we?!

Blease is one I'm really excited about.

Once he gets up to speed he is going to be a real weapon.

Excellent news as all 5 deserve new contracts and further solidifying of MFC playing group.

Agree Jonesey is next priority and presumably delay with him and Cam Bruce signing will be related to term and whether GC chasing them. Maybe issue re vetrans list re Bruce but that was supposed to be part of reason for pushing Junior to retire.

Also agree Blease is an absolute must to lock up!

Great news for the club and the supporters, this will only increase speculation that Bruce and jones may be going else where as they still havnt re-signed.

Not a chance.

Hell, we re-signed Strauss, didn't we?!

What are you inferring to there??

Strauss has a lethal kick (if you've watched him) that is a dead-eye, especially with kick-outs! Perhaps he will have a role in the coming years...? Taken at pick 18 in 2008...

Well done to Tim Harrington for securing the services of 5 more important players.

:)


Something like this >

PJ

Nathan Jones

Matthew Warnock

Jake Spencer

Cameron Bruce

Danny Hughes

Rhys Healey

Kyle Cheney

Tom McNamara

Clint Bartram

Sam Blease

Jordan McKenzie

Brent Moloney

Why are some in italics...? :(

Jones, Warnock and Bruce will obviousley be floated during trade week. Bruce may as rumoured be bound for GC. Warnock and Jones will defintily be trade bait too see if we can improve our list. Both might want to be moved on for more opportunity.

Great too see the 5 signings. All required players!

Nobody with a clue said that. Only the worst of the worst get delisted after two years. If you show any promise whatsoever in your first two years, you have earned an extension to give further opportunity to show what you're made of. That's fairly standard practice.

It doesn't mean Strauss will make it and like many I don't think he will - but he has done enough to earn the benefit of the doubt and therefore the opportunity to prove it either way.

 

Great news. Not sure about the decision to sign Strauss for two years though. One year provides greater flexibility. IMO we have made this mistake before with Newton and Cheney.

and what 'mistake' did 'we' make with Cheney....who by the way is contracted for 2011...isn't he....thought he signed new deal right at beginning of year?....

  • 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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
