    Fantastic.

    The environment that Roos and co have created is no doubt light years from the previous era. Dare I say we might be starting to look like a professional club again.

    Jesse, JKH, Salem, Brayshaw.. have all re-signed at least a year in advance of their first contacts expiring. Probably missing a couple there too. (Kent?)

    Another one signed. This bodes very well for the club going forward - love that he had no hesitation in signing on and already loves the club. Quotes like those can only put a smile on your face.

    Peter Jackson and his team quietly and professionally going about their business. And our young guns signing on. Confidence building

    A very high quality player who comes across as a fantastic kid. I think this kid has all the tools to become our best recruit in over a decade.

    Am thrilled he has signed on, a great show of faith in the direction our club is heading.

    Never in doubt, very popular member of the squad as well, really happy, only sad thing is him being Arsenal supporter, looked absolutely shattered this morning at training, after their exit from Europe, had a lot of sympathy for him, NOT

    I'd hate to play Devils' advocate, but in light of the last AFL trade period; do contracts even matter anymore?

    Paying out one year of a draftee's salary when you're as desperate as the bulldogs were is one thing, paying out two or three years of an up and coming player on their second contract is something else entirely.

    Edit: Great news.

    In this case, yes. He's a Victorian playing for the Victorian team so there is no excuse to "return home" whereby the club would feel compelled to release him

    Are you trying to start one of those flame war things? If so, I'll happily oblige.

    In the meantime, congratulations Christian. This is what hope feels like.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but it does feel a bit 2010ish at the moment. I remember we had a lot of our young brigade (I remember Chip signed his last 3 year extension one year out from the expiry of his previous deal) sign en masse back then.
    That being said, this does show the environment as of now is relatively positive. We need to keep these blokes together as a core group.

    I agree, Melbourne re-signing young high draft picks (excluding Scully) has never been an issue in the past.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
