Well done Christian! Christian Salem re-signs with Melbourne until end of 2017

With all due respect I don't know why this even needs to be said. Why can't we just be happy and content that another kid who shows promise has signed on for the future? We seemingly want to pick ho

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?)

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.

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

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
