Signing the Needed ones



Recommended Posts

After some encouraging performances and all our off field movement I feel the focus of Peter Jackson et al should be directed on signing Jack Watts ,Max Gawn ,extending James Frawley and even Hogan.

While rightly focus on 2014 coach is garnishing the headlines signing our stars would also make it more attractive to a prospective coach.

Ps unsure about Colin Sylvia

In order of signing priority:

1. Frawley contract extension

2. Watts

3. Gawn

4. Sylvia

5. Hogan on a 10 year contract and a supremely fertile athlete girlfriend

Do not agree with Sylvia, he has had more chances than most at this level.

terlich would be worth a long term extension

I'd be waiting to see if he continues it into next year, DF. We've made that mistake before. Let's see him show consistency and then we can offer reward.

Someone find out where Michelle Jenneke is, drag her down to AAMI Park and lock her in a room for a few days with Hogan.

Wow. I know it's in jest, but massively problematic.

Sign Watts and Gawn up for 3 years ASAP

Extend Hogans contract to 5 years and big money

Sylvia for 2 years, might have to pay overs a little but its worth it as we have hardly any good senior players

Uh... Not sure I meant it to sound so forceful.

It was intended to be more along the lines of "get Michelle Jenneke & Hogan together, then stick them in the honeymoon suite with Barry Manilow playing..."

Or something.

Unless you're talking about something else.

Barry Manilow and a honeymoon suite sounds a little more consensual. ;)

But what will happen if the gf in point 5 hates Melbourne and Supports another team?

To me the Barry Manilow would be a gun to the head, but Adam like that your radar is on and your not afraid to speak up in a mature way.

On the light hearted note, I am amazed at how often father son selections seem to come good, I too hope that Hogan and other get some Barry White tunes happening.

Followed by Fitzy, Garland and Grimes.

Slightly more realistic here. I wonder what Jessica Trengove is doing these days? She's an athlete, she probably knows a few of our players, has ties to the club...

She knows at least one.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
