Will give the team a lift BUT, we went into this game with near identical circumstances last year, on a high after beating the Bummers, this year the challenge is to back it up and not get blow away. GO DEES! The procession of signings begins

I expected Jamar to sign myself,you can tell he loves the club as he stated it earlier in the year he wanted to be a one club man.

He's a very hard to move ruckman is mark..not your athletic jeff white type but more a hold his ground & strong mark type.

Thanks for giving us some good news mark as its been a long year to date.

Now for the barcode lookalikes on monday!

This actually is a big statement.

All the crap about the senior players and the rift with Neeld being put out there, then Jamar goes and re-signs for 3 more years.

Big slap in the face to all those reporters suggesting things. It shows that the culture is growing down there this signature and that the senior guys are onboard

Never in doubt for mine. He said he wanted to remain a demon and sometimes you just have to take a player's word for it.

Well done MFC and well done Jamar. Definitely a required player and now we can all breath easy knowing our ruck department isn't going to become a problem for us.

3 years is perfect to "pass the baton" onto the next hopeful.

Go Dees :)

Reporters are doing a fine job of late....getting most of it wrong....

How good does Robinson feel right now....such an arrogant tool he is..Him & moron whately on 360 go together well...

But back to JAMAR!!!! YESS! Now for a big game V the Pies where he just bowls over their rucks!

Great to hear!

Fair to say we have moved away from the '1 year deals' for those in their thirties...

He will be 32 when this expires. And that is fine, ruckmen's careers start later and, if all is well, finish later.

There was no doubt in my mind that he would stay a demon, maybe a touch surprised we gave him a three year deal but still very happy. Hopefully others will start to follow his example and ink some deals.

I agree. A new culture may finally be building. Whats that thing about Better clubs keeping players !

We might just be turning that corner at long last. Thanks for the vote of confidence there Russian :)

I was one who thought he might be expendable based on the number of rucks on our list and the fact that I thought his performance peaked in 2010 - however I am glad he has signed on for 3 and can hopefully see Gawn and/or Fitzpatrick take over the rucking mantle at that time.

Would assume his deal would also likely be heavily back ended so that when he is eligible for veterans status only half of his salary has to be in the cap.

Actually the veterans list rules have been changed - no longer is it half the salary of up to 3 or so players, now it is $100K per veteran taken outside the cap with no limit on how many veterans you can have.

Well done Rush! We need your mature body, experience and strong work ethic around the place for a while yet. 2-3 years should be just about right to hand over the mantle of number one ruckman to the next generation.

Glad he's re-signed, but Jamar is not a strong mark. He rarely takes them.

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
