No. It's a sign of weakness.

You have to celebrate the small wins.

Even if they are par for the course for strong clubs who always keep the players they want to keep.

I coined the MFCSS term for a similar reason (low bar of expectation, celebrating mediocrity, fearing the worst, etc), but there is nothing wrong with celebrating the re-signing of a 19 year old gun.

They are rather desired, and difficult to re-sign...

The unbridled joy is a little embarrassing. Sure it's good news, but why would you all expect anything less ?

It's time for our supporters to get a little bit of steely resolve and start expecting that players want to remain at this club.

I know what you're getting at, but for a player who has been consistent this year and leading by example. One that is in his 2nd year of his 3 year contract, who then signs for another 3 years on top until the end of 2015....has to be good news...and just a little unexpected with still a year to run of his current contract.

Yes, we expect players to remain. But not many would have envisaged this "statement".

I don't think there is anything wrong with this. I reckon a stronger sign of weakness is becoming hysterical in the tough times

If I celebrate with a glass of nails, is that OK?

It's great news, especially since we are now certainly going to avoid a "Trengove to GWS" thread next season. Phew!

Great news especially the 4-year extension of Trengove who is one of the most impressive all-round young players I've seen come into the club. No doubt he could have held off talks and bumped his price up through external offers and improvements on the field, but committing now is testament to the guy's character!

Perfect timing for the announcements too.

Not all doom and gloom at MFC.

Great news and JT is quality for re-signing a year out and saving us all from further GWS speculation next year... Be interesting to hear him and TS discuss their various decisions...

Glass of nails? Have to be Liquid Nails, mixed with turps, that should do it Jaded.

Tend to agree.

I'm guessing that you & I are the only 2 that voted no.

It didn't make my week because I flat out expected it.

Although, I flat out expect Scully to re-sign once the season concludes.

We shall see.

Unless Jack Trengove f*&%s a goat in public, he will be the future captain of this team. And that is a very very good thing.

It didn't make my week because I flat out expected it.

You expected Trengove to sign for another four years when he still had a full season to run on his old contract? Wow e, that's impressive. How about this week's lotto numbers?

This is a massive vote of confidence from two kids who are obviously very happy being here. I don't expect that to warm the hearts of those whose hearts are long cold and dead (and to be truthful it's worth a smirk for me and not much more), but it'd be nice if those people didn't feel the need to whizz on the parade of the people who enjoyed this news.

Only if it were a male one.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
