Yeah the standard 2 year draftee deal....ok. It Was trengove that signed for the extra year. Is there something in that or am I being paranoid?

I remember reading that Scully was offered a three year deal at the time that trengove signed for three and knocked it back.

No I do not think you are parnoid,

I think he thought he could probably get a bigger deal at the end of 2011 or a big offer from GWS.

I have a bad feeling about that refusal!

Does this mean we're likely to have a quiet trade week?

No such thing as a "quiet" trade week. Merely a week where the deals may or may not get done. Massive difference.

Lets all just relax.

Scully made the right call and I don't think it has anything to do with any interest in leaving the MFC...we should still have space for a fairly nice extension for him.

- Scully probably could have got a decent little bump from the 3 year contract, but who here doesn't think he'll earn a serious pay rise next year?

Trengove however should be a little [censored] at his manager, he has a year of security, but he's obviously pretty good and could demand more than his one year extension gave him

Too early to start talking armageddon on Scully, from everything he's said and shown seems to love the club, the city, and seems to have struck up a friendship with a number of guys around the club.

One last story on Scully - I saw him driving into the ground mid-way through the year - driving a banged up commodore, I don't think this guy is too fussy.

I'm interested in Bruce, I wonder if he is the person Guy Mckenna was talking about last week. If Bruce is considering leaving the Gold Coast is where the club needs him to go, at the very least we will get a second round pick but hopefully end of first round.

I hope he stays I think a lot of Dees supporters under estimate his value.

However I think you are kidding if think we would get better than a second round pick.

He has two years at best left and not rated highly by most people.

Hope we do not have to worry because he will resign soon( I hope )

Amazing when you think Bartram and Jones are only 22yo. Feels like they have been around for ages.

Some good signs with these 5 signings. Clearly Grimes knows he will live his childhood dream and Captain the MFC.

Blease must have shown something post injury to get a 2 year deal. The club has invested much time into his recovery, i dare say he needs to repay that faith and push for a spot early on next season. Big preseason needed from Blease.

Beamer was never going anywhere!

Don't get a bad feeling about it.... Watts didn't sign until the end of the year...

MFC have put pressure on Scully's manager to sign (not on him personally) but they are stead fast on waiting until the end of next year as he will be in a better position to negotiate with 40 AFL games under his belt. Nothing untoward in it but he is a professional and AFL is a business. He needs to look after his interests which he is being advised that to wait until the end of next year, I agree with the advice but his intention is to remain a one club player especially if the footy department play him on the ball until the wing all this year.

One thing people forget about Scully is- he did not start training till late February but still beat all players in the beep test. Wait till he has done a full pre season then see how good this guy is- he is SENSATIONAL.And if he can improve his kicking BLOODY SENSATIONAL. GOT IT! That is why we want to sign him up now.

Could it be that Melbourne know that Bruce is going. And that their compensation is likely to be a second round pick and therefore that is why they are happy to give up their original second round pick for Hale???

If we knew he was going, Junior would be playing in 2011.

The plot thickens......

But this is what I keep thinking to myself as well. HOWEVER, does the MFC actually have any idea what Bruce is doing??? :/

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    PREGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
