Which senior MFC players can you see sticking around till the end of their careers?

With our 0/3 free agency record in terms of retaining players (Sylvia, Rivers and Moloney) you start to think if there is any player for the Dees that will resist free agency and stay loyal. Here is my take on our best and most talented players:

Jones - The big one. Our best player in terms of performance and value. Up for restricted free agency in exactly 2 years time. Seems to show genuine passion, love and care if his B&F speeched are anything to go by.

Grimes - I would think he and Viney would be the greatest hope of staying. Barracked for the Dees as a kid and is captain. How many captains have changed clubs recently?

Trengove - I think likely. I get the impression the club means a lot to him

Garland - Unknown. Seems to show genuine care for the club.

Frawley - The other big one. Up for restricted free agency next year. Cannot afford to lose him. Says he bleeds 'red and blue'. Who knows?

Viney - See Grimes.

Toumpas - Too early but SA factor

Clark - Shows genuine enthusiasm and love for the club via Twitter. Would a WA team be waiting for him in the next year or 2? Cannot go via free agency until 2019.

Dawes - Unknown. I think he'd have aspirations for being captain or VC.

McKenzie - Showed great loyaly by resisting an offer from Adelaide while on the MFC rookie list. However that was 4 years ago.

Hogan - Way too early to discuss but will give us heart burn each time he nears out of contract status.

    Lynden "Limpet" Dunn will stick around past the end of his career.

    It's a tough call because we don't know how successful some will become.

    If any, Jack Grimes will be one.

    Jamar has stated his excitement over his last contract signing that expires next year he will be a one club player.

    I think there will be a good chance with Jack Viney too, although who knows these days in relation to GAJ.

    Ask me at the end of 2015...Too early to tell what will happen under PJ & Roos.

    I would be gobsmacked if Jones played his career anywhere else barring an amicable parting of the ways for a final year or two. He is a Demon in every sense of the word and will go down as one of our champions of the modern era.

    Viney is very similar to Jones, you can see it in his eyes.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
