Yup, considering teams would have been throwing 700k at him by the time season 2016 rolls around it is a steal

Is that old age moon??

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

I estimate I'm just over half your age BBO. Who you calling old, gramps?!

2 years is good. He hasn't played a game yet, let's remember, has a major back injury that he is getting over. And the end of that coincides with the approx end of Roosy's tenure, so it gives Jesse the option seeing who takes over, not that that is the reason for 2 yrs.

Thank heavens for that.

Not that I was worried about him leaving. Just couldnt handle the negative 'sky is falling' posters always chirping on about him leaving for Freo.

Fingers crossed that he is a one club player, or does not leave till he has a won a few flags. If he realises his potential he will be such an important piece of the premiership puzzle.

Glorious news. Two years makes perfect sense. He could be the best player in the comp by the end of 2017, or he could have snapped his back in half and never played a game - it offers a level of protection for both parties.

It'll be a great relief when he puts pen to paper. I was going to be needing a medical certificate for MFCSS if the contract negotiations lingered into next year.

3 years at his time of life is an eternity. He will be more entrenched in Melbourne and hopefully we will be more competitive and playing finals. Chances of being a one club player massively increased. Happy days!

I'm excited. I just kicked my husband in the shin after he smirked and said "he may never get on the park".

You should have kicked him in the balls. That would have - (a) Certainly shown your displeasure at his flippant comment. (b) Established your authority for all time.

If he keeps this up I might just do that. He should know better by now.

The better part of this news is that the club obviously is super confident that his back problems will be over soon. No concerns of his doing a Paul Prymke.

Great investment and terrific news.

We will still need another big bodied forward who also has a bit of pace. Someone who is hard to match up on and together with Dawes and Hogan, would make our forward line quite formidable. We could almost rotate the 3 within the forward line with different roles (within games) to further make it hard for the opposition. I believe that might be an ideal scenario for Roos.

Either Watts or Frawley can be that 3rd big forward (At some stage Watts will put on a bit of muscle which in turn will help his overall game)

Haven't heard the latest on Hogan but it would be great to see him play at least a few games towards the end of the season. If he's fully healthy, let him loose.

Well, in theory that should be Fitzpatrick, but he seems to have stalled for the moment. Big second half of the year?

Watts can be the 3rd tall with pace, it's the perfect position for him.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
