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.

    The keys there, clearly, are Grimes and Blease. Out of GWS's reach now.

    Nice to know Moloney, Jones and Bartram, three gutsy, strong players, are on board too.

    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 )

    As I understood it, Trengove was given three years because he is from South Australia and they wanted to give him a good shot to avoid the go-home factor.

    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!

    Great to see.

    I always wanted him to stay and think it is the right move.

    As for the other 4 signings. More positive steps for the Dees.

    Keep building and working hard boys.

    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.

    That's what I'm inclined to think.

    Doesn't necessarily mean he won't go in the end, but the club hasn't had any indication that this will be the case.

    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??? :/

    • 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.
