Roos secured the Sydney coaching job when the players jacked up and demanded that he be reappointed. He's clearly a man who inspires faith in his team, and perhaps we're seeing signs of that here. It's pretty clear that Lumumba came because of Roos. If I'm right, this means that the transition to Goodwin will be a critical moment for the club.

    Agree ET, and re-signing players now will assist the smooth transition. They are getting a good look at Goodwin and how he operates as a coach. Players re committing into his tenure as senior coach is a good sign IMO.

    Good news, but I'm getting flashbacks from when Trengove extended his contract and Scully didn't.

    Good point. I wonder why one and not the other. Wonder if they tried and he wasn't interested or they haven't tried. I would have thought the Big P was more of a concern to do this than Brayshaw. Either way its still great to get one locked for a few more years.

    I am quietly confident that we will see Petracca next. You only have to look at his reaction on Draft Night to get the feeling that these two blokes want to play in the same team!

    You're right. Certainly looked that way.

    What a strange era we are entering into when we are getting relieved about signing extensions on players who haven't even played a game yet.

    He might like it, but he probably likes money more

    Imagine getting a 4-year contract at age 18 with zero games to your name

    The players have really done a number on everybody and have way, way, way too much power these days

    To be perfectly honest I would want a kid taken at ND3 given an automatic 4 year deal anyway.

    The fact that Scully was OOC as a number one after 2 years is in institutional problem - high draft picks should have more guaranteed years.

    Would it matter? Boyd walked after one.

    But I agree, and I'm starting to warm to your idea of players just being tradable commodities and that trade being at the discretion of the club. What is happening now is far too much in favour of the player, and mainly the "best" players.

    what's so good about locking them in for those years anyway? It is really year 6/7/8/9 that the major damage is done on-field, and these kids will still get the opportunity to run for the big money at age 22 anyway

    ND1 gets the same years as ND89.

    The worst teams have access to the best players for a reason - they should have them under contract for longer than 2 years. The Boyd situation a few months ago was ridiculous.

    Partnered with a rule that means that draftees have to a year (I prefer two years) removed from school and the worst clubs will have these players at 20-23 on a modest contract, unlike what Boyd is on, and to a far lesser extent what Hogan is on.

    As one poster previously mentioned, I would love to see Angus Brayshaw play 400 games too! But let him play ONE senior game for the Demons first. (Although I will admit seeing him play 350 games and winning a few Premierships would be wonderful!).

    Anyways, I just hope this contract extension will encourage his mate Christian Petracca to do the same?! We'll just have to wait and see I guess?

    Can't disagree with that. Then you've got Hogan on 500 a year- yet to kick a ball in the H&A season- where do u go with him after those many busicuits for zero return? He has a good season in a contract year, he'll be holding out his paws for a billion probably

    Probably, but we'd still be fools for not signing him anyways.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
