Would we have the cap room to afford someone like that and still be safe if a couple of players really improve in the next 2 years and look for bigger contracts? paying dawes and co decent money would leave a dent

Guess it's the way footy is these days- many players value money over loyalty and it's that shift in thinking which can enable us to buy in talent and improve, conversely we can lose talent this way too, but I guess you have to have that talent before worrying about losing it (lucky for us we don't)

swings and roundabouts, you win some you lose some. Cross your fingers we are in such a predicament in the future as it means we are going places and just hope that the players can sniff a flag and want to hang around at reduced market salaries

We'll have the coin, Flash's contract is nearly up.

Sylvia would want to have a good year or he'll take a cut.

Neeld will cut lads to squeeze a player of Thomas quality in and more importantly,

he fits the right age bracket and would add a lot to the side.

I think we could definitely afford a big offer for a Thomas type player

and I doubt Daisy would go interstate - as he is a Drouin lad and gets back there quite a bit.

Sylvias a UFA this year. we will lose him, im sure of that. This season will determine if that is a loss to us or not

He'll stay - make a decision by mid year when he has a few games under his belt

He said he didn't want it to drag on like the cloke case

Chip Frawley is a RFA this year. The most important issue for the club would be to sure up his signature. It will cost the club, but it needs to happen before a Hawthorn or Saints (rumoured to be interested) Jump in. IMO Chip deserves more than Dawes, and a longer contract. No point signing him for 2 years for UFA!!

IF Col finally shows his very best throughout a season, we will also have a great season and he may want to stay with a club that is on the rise.

IF he doesn't, then it will probably be best for all if we were to part ways; pity about the lack of recompense though.

Maybe he, like it is rumoured quite a few others, can't stand the thought of playing under Buckley :-)))

Thanks dee-luded: Thats one problem with the "quote reply": doesn't necessarily translate to the original thread.

Chip comes out of contract at the end of 2014.

If those guys were as good as Buddy Franklin we would all be premiership supporters, Franklins a match winner and an A grade champion of the AFL, the type of player our club could only dream about.

Produces? Bit of a problem there. You said the last 150 years. Names already suggested above anyway. Add Ronald Dale to that list ...

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
