' get around him' used a lot by James Brayshaw after a player kicks a goal his teammates run in to congratulate him, rub the head & pat the backside. In this case kicking the goal is replaced by the signing of a contract. Players and fans alike should get around him at ES this Saturday and let him know how much we appreciate him.

good to see big maxy commit to the club for a further 2 years. hoepfully he remains injury free and continues to build on the solid form he has shown this year.

DA Watts is possible but forget Frawley.

Why would he commit at this stage?

He has a year to run, over the next year he will get to see who is the new President, Coach and if we look like winning more than a few games.

He would be mad IMO to re sign now.

Quite simply, because he's a leader at the club and there's this concept called 'leadership'.

It's about the one thing that this club lacks in spades - heart.

I tend to agree, it would send a huge message of faith to the entire list and be a huge boost, and if the club offers him a huge extension and he knocks it back right away we will have a better idea where we stand.

2 years? Why do we bother with such short contracts.

Will he be worth $1 million by then? Possibly...why not? If he stays healthy, anything can happen.

I think as much as that his injuries would be too much of a concern for the club to offer him a longer deal

In a difficult year he's been a positive. Plenty more for him to work on but I'm glad to see he's committed to the club.

“So why I was so happy to sign was because when I had my two knee recos, I became a supporter and I went to every game. I went to every single one – even the ones interstate I travelled and I did a few things over there. You become really involved in the club and a big supporter, and that helps with where I’m at now."

Love this quote, sounds like he is another Demon through and through.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
