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".

Love the tweet for Tappy.

Glad to be able to sign another 3 years with the DEES!! unfortunate on rookies wage tho with @jtren9 signing 4 years.

Great news.

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

No. It's a sign of weakness.

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.

Fantastic news that unashamedly brought a smile to my face.....

Thanks kids :wub: !!!

To hell with the kill joys!

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.

whats wrong with goats!

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.

Not much it seems if they choose to lie down with Jack T. ;)

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
