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.


Just reported on MFC that dunn has resigned for 3 years! You beauty!

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...

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
