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.

Seriously?? Initial 2 year deal

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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?....

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
