Best thing we can do to get the guys we want to re-sign is to win games, lots of games. A spirited victory on Monday would help massively.

I've got it at 5 plus Clark which is 6. Barry is the one up in the air but he's got pace, endurance and is following the coaches instructions at Casey. Even if he's not getting a kick I think he finds another year. McKenzie, Fitzy and Evans are 3 who are contracted but could be traded out but I doubt there's much interest and all 3 have shown something at AFL level so you never know if a second preseason under Roos could turn them around. In fact they could all play big roles in the rest of this year.

So you're thinking Blease, Tapscott, Byrnes, Nicholson and Strauss, plus Clark, GRRM/tm? ;) I can see them persevering with Strauss and Blease, but I don't hold out much hope for them.

theres for mine a distinct irony about all of this.

Essentially the people we would look to re sign will be responsible for the performance of the team that is to supposedly inspire them to re sign !!

Dunn will repay the faith I think, and it's vital we keep one of chip or Tommy mac, I am absolutely certain both are attracting strong interest

Geeze, we got some bloody signing to do in the next few years!

No more or less than every other team.

Melbourne FC: Lynden Dunn has signed a new three year deal, which will see him with the club until at least the end of 2017.

Fascinating to see who goes here. Tapscott, Byrnes and Nicholson will be first out the door. Strauss, Blease and Barry will be next in line. I'd say we'll delist 6. I think Frawley will stay, so it'll be interesting to see whether they keep Spencer and they'll upgrade Georgiou and Jetta.

I reckon I can see 4 that will be on the chopping block for 2015, but a long way to go there.

I think we'll re-sign everyone for next year.

I think its 12 months too soon to do anything Re the rucks. Jamar is OOC next year, & is (31) this August. Next in line maturity wise is Spencer, currently(24.7) followed by Gawn (22.5), both inexperienced by AFL ruck standards. Then we have a rookie in Max King, unplayed yet & (18.8). And we have Fitzpatrick [forward] developing, (22.11)

However with Clark gone, we could rookie another.

Re the mids, I would look to rookie 2 of Strauss & Barry, & possibly Tapscott? Georgiou could stay as a rookie? Jetta 1 Yr?

#edit: dunn, a deal for the much improved outback Dunny. for 3

Blease, Strauss and Tapscott traded for late picks if possible

Evans and Barry probably re-rookied for mine.

I'm pretty sure Evans has at least another year to run on his three year contract.

And I tend to agree that we probably won't make a move on rucks this season, so Spencer will be safe and IMO is worth pursuing anyway.

Lucky we are playing better.

It's not really surprising. The average contract length is probably around three years - exceptional players may get more and those close to the end of their careers due to age or performance are likely to get less. With a list of 48, that's 16 each year, on average, coming out of contract.

I think I was either wishful thinking or psychic

The day after starting thread Dunn and then Spencer signs

Will have to get timing right re the Frawley thread and hogans comeback

Jones will sign. Heart & Soul

i have to agree here... Jones doesn't seem the type of person, who would hold his club to ransom...

If he did leave, he'd be the first captain to leave their club for free agent money... Im not sure Jones would want to be remembered that way...

Personally i think Trengove will be harder to keep... After the way our club has handled his career so far, I wouldn't blame him if he choose to go back home...

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
