I just wet my pants a little with excitement!

Great news, now Chip can sign and we will have a finals side for next year.

Tom McDonald.

[beelzebub 22,724]

Cant wait for him to play his FIRST real game for us

[Demon Disciple 11,211]

Won't pop the cork until it is officially announced, but must admit, heart-rate spiked when reading that snippet!

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Tom McDonald.

I would imagine he will sign, unless you have news to the contrary.

Won't need to look at Patton and we can now concentrate on picking a couple of quality mids.

[Bitter but optimistic 21,580]

I would have thought you want to tie him up for at least three.

Yummy

It's a virtual 3 though BBO. Still next year to run on his contract plus another 2. Heck, i'd take that over the other possibility.

Absolutely no news. I just think he's very very important.

I suppose that's why roosy didn't mention wanting a forward knowing this was in the works, it's consistent with what my best mate told me though

Jesse understands we have made a massive investment in him and have put alot of time and resources into developing him, roosy flew to Perth to talk to his family personally, and we have been ultra conservative with his back.

Jesse loves Melbourne, roosy and the club and will be around for a long time imo

Great news!

Just an aside - the sooner we move to 'high draft picks get 3 or 4 years automatically' the better...

Is that old age moon??

[Grandson of a gun 276]

Just cracked one through the covers....

Picked it one Ox. Moonie shuffles around the supermarkets looking for specials on incontinence pads. Poor bastard.

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Couldn't agree more, he's one of my favourite players to watch; just love his aggression and the way he plays it hard, particularly against the new "stars" to get the ascendancy.

Hogan, Frawley and McDonald locked in long term would give us some great depth and flexibility in the big man department. With Dunn taking a step and Pedersen emerging we look ok for talls. Add Dawes, Garland as well as Watts and Howe and we're in good shape. Another ruckman might be all that is missing. A couple of classy mids and an elite kick out of the backline and the jigsaw is looking alright. Hogan might just be the key piece. I was quietly hoping for a 10 year Lynch type deal.

[jabberwocky 2,301]

The timing is interesting.

[whatwhat say what 20,405]

Nice.

Now come in and be the star we want you to be.

Huge money for a kid who has yet to play a game, but it's an investment in the future.
