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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
