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...

    Awesome news, but sadly my week is blown, and even this can't make up for the rest of it. Don't expect much positivity from me for the next few days folks.

    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.

    whats wrong with goats!

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
