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

    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?

    Then Chip?

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

    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

  • Quote

    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
