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.

Sorry to say AF you are in for a few years of anxiety...relax and enjoy the ride, for however long it lasts ^_^

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.

If you're still updating RPFC,

- Salem signed until end of 2017
- Jake Spencer & Neville Jetta will be Restricted Free Agents next season

Are we sure that Bail & Reilly are only contracted till the end of this year?

I had a bad feeling they were both contratced till the end of 2016....

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

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

Matt Jones makes it the fab 4!

Voss, Lappin, Black & Aker eat your heart out! :wacko:

Terlich may have to have a word with Michael Evans about the ins and outs of getting delisted mid contract.

I cannot fathom how Terlich will be on the list next year.


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.

Heard off a friend today the club was interested in putting an extension Infront of tommy Mac

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.

If the club WASN'T interested in extending TMac's contract, I'd have grave fears for Roos' sanity.


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)!

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

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
