Can't help wondering if that last ditch GWS trade offer might still be on the table with Treloar & Shiels up for possible trade at end of year.

Unless he has a sensational year then Howe isn't worth a Treloar or a Shiel. He is a handy player, and their hail mary trade offer was huge to say the least, but isn't worth either of those players.

Treloar and Shiel are part of the 'premiership pact'

And, I agree with you WB, not worth either of these players, but I'd prefer him to stay....on sensible coin.

True - if he wants an unreasonable contract then he can walk. If he wants to be sensible and smart about it then I'm very happy for him to stay.

Channel 7 just reported that the club has started discussions to contract Petracca to 2018 :rolleyes: and it appears a formality.

That means with:

Brayshaw: 2018

Salem 2017

Kennedy - Harris 2018

Hogan 2017

Viney 2017

...the cream of our crop is locked away for a few years :cool:

Would be surprised if work hasn't started with the 2016 expirations (notably Tyson, Tommy Mc, Kent, Newton). What I like is that players are happy to sign up beyond Roos coaching contract so it shows they are happy about the club, Goodwin et al.

Still some list management work to do but bodes well.

I know it's horrible, but I can't fully invest in Hogan until we sign him up for another 5 or 6 years. Please do that soon, MFC. :P

Oh and for the record, still happy for Howe to leave if we get something good for him. Whenever he goes forward he switches off. There was a moment on Friday night when he drifted forward and his man got the ball and he simply let him run off with it. His chase was pretty much non existent and everyone around us said 'lazy, Jeremy Howe'. He's a one trick pony.

We can all argue the importance and value of players. The sun stated that Howe wishes to astay at the club. This is important because it indicates the improving culture and hope within the club. We have not been able to retain experienced players in the past. We now need Garland to commit. Hopefully this change in player loyalty will entice quality players from other clubs look at Melbourne as a desirable club.

Interesting that Nev is this, I just presumed he wouldn't be as delisted (he wont leave anyway so not worried).

Add Terlich to that list of awesomeness..

From memory all 3 were re-signed at the end of last year, Bail & Riley got 1 year, Terlich 2.

All has been quiet on the Garland contract status...no word of either party starting/deferring talks.

He is having a good year so may well be sort after at eos.

We need his experience especially as Grimes is on the way down/out, Lumumba often plays up the ground, uncertain Howe status and Salem will eventually move to the midfield. Garland albeit a seemingly quiet fellow would be a good mentor to the younger defenders coming thru.

In addition, I really like him and would like him to stay in the red and blue.

Even tho he is an RFA and we can match an offer it would be really good if we sign him up sooner rather than later.

Jetta is an interesting one as he went back through the drafts and back to us - I would be extremely disappointed (but not surprised) if the AFL allows him to be a Free Agent when he reaches 8 years in the system.

Also, they will both be Unrestricted FAs in a few years time as they will not be in the top 25% of players by wage.

* = Require confirmation...

Those underlined are player I think are the top 11 paid players; RFA is determined by players being among these 11 (obviously this will be wrong but hopefully indicative).

Ages are from the 1st April 2015 - an arbitrary date fit for a fool...

Updated, and I have added an underlined feature for those I think are in the top 11 paid players; this is what determines RFA for those out of contract after 8/9 years.

Great job as always RPFC, but hopefully we can upset a couple of the big-name teams in the next five weeks so that we don't have to spend the entire second-half of the season debating who we should flick and who we can get (however nonsensical the player thrown up is)!

We don't have a player on our list named Reilly.

I hate to be a pedant, there is just something about getting people's name wrong that really grates me.

O'Riley's contract is up at the end of this season.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
