Jay Kennedy-Harris Is set to sign a 2 year extension.

Will be made public in the not to distant future... Great work, lot of talent, good bloke.

 

Little champion if true. Hopefully a 4 year extension for Jones is next on the cards. He should be our highest paid player.

Great news

 

Ok I really don't get this. He is a new draftee on an initial two year contract. He has shown a lot of promise over his first pre season and in the first five rings of the season he has looked like he has potential.

Why the need to give him a 4 year deal?

What benefit is there for Melbourne? Is he threatening to leave? Do other clubs want to take him?

I appreciate the show of faith on our behalf but I'm not sure why it is needed.

Stability, commitment, hope - simple really. Well done JKH

Seems the new thing done. Sign the new draftees up on longer deals after they play a few good games. Personally I'm not too fussed, but think it would be better and wait til years end then do it.

 

Given the post about us merging from 'household demon' i would be very wary of believing this info. Smacks of trolling to me.

Don't believe it. I'd be happy if it happened for I think Jay will be a good player for us, however it makes no sense.

Just incoherent trolling again.

Incredibly obvious that he will be extended at some stage considering his performances, so this is a laughably transparent attempt to gain some credibility for your trolling purposes.

See, I can do the same:

Dom Tyson to have contract extended in near future, after impressing the club.

Christian Salem likely to be given his first game soon after my inside sources tell me Roos was very impressed with Salem's VFL match.

Ad nauseum...

Where's JKH from? I vaguely recall he played in a Victorian TAC side, but where is his home? In other words, is there a "go home" factor that needs to be nullified by a longer contract?

Oakleigh?

I wouldn't be worried.

Agreed

This post is from the same bloke who posted and last night confirmed that Melbourne are relocating to Tasmania...

Don't know much about the families background and I'm very sorry if I'm wrong but I think his fathers passed away and his immediate family have been in Victoria for years. He played TAC for Oakleigh and went to Trinity College. Don't think there's any go home risk

Maybe it's just a 3 year deal but with different terms for 2015 than his original 2 year deal. I think if you do that you don't have to stick to the initial draft contract. I think draftees get about 50k but like 5k or more per match payment which if he plays every match obviously adds on another 100k to the deal. Possibly renegotiating the contract to give him guaranteed money for 2015 and 2016 (or even 2017) can result in paying the same amount of money as well as having him signed up. Plus you can then front load the contract for salary cap space in the future.

There's obvious benefit for getting those who you have a lot of confidence about locked in to contracts so you can start getting an idea of where you have room to move.

Are we allowed to do this?

Of course we should sign Hogan ASAP

Then Chip?

I wonder if the 'chat' to watts, was more than being dropped to Casey, if contracts are being organised atmo.

  • 2 weeks later...

Well whatever the truth to this is his price went up this afternoon

After only a couple of games he is already in the group of only four or five players in the team that I feel that we will win the ball when it goes into his area

He isn't the quickest over 20m but I doubt if there is a player in the league who has a faster first three steps

Man he has fast clean hands. Just body the ball and zoom and he's straight out of traffic. Lovely to watch. He'll be an ok crumbing forward but this kids a midfielder just waiting to build up his tank and strength.

 

Kid is a great talent. His ability to take the ball at speed is already elite.

Class midfielder developing nicely.

He's like a pinball in that he bounces off nearly everyone when he gets the ball/tackled.

Love it

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

    Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

    For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
