    Great news. Now someone get Oscar twenty pies and five snot blocks. Looking at that picture, he couldn't knock the skin off a rice pudding

    and he looks a lot more than 2cm taller. wonder if he has put on a height spurt this year which has slowed him from filling out. looks a good 6cm in pic

    Great news.

    Tom is a top 5 defender.

    Oscar, has some areas to improve, but last 2 weeks has really started to show some glimpses.

    According to Tom in the Burgs article, he never talked to any other clubs or assessed any other offers.

    Can we please stop assuming that a long negotiation equals player leaving now? Not every player is Tom Scully. 

    Nasher - Who do you think your audience is? We are a paranoid bunch by definition, we hang out in a online chat room. BTW Happy about the signings

    I'm not though; I generally assume things will work out if the actual machinations are invisible to me. Yes, Scully blindsided me as a result, but I still believe that was an exception rather than the rule.

    Thank god that's out of the way. We've now locked away all our young talent! The only one left is making sure Hogan re-signs before the end of next year.

    With less pressure on the back line as we get better we may see less brain fades from TMac and more of him doing what he does best and just shutting off opposition attacks.

    Good news.  Both have been good the last few weeks. Hope they both don't have the post signing bad game this week.

    a slightly tongue in cheek comment, however I do believe if pleading for common sense on this site worked there would not be a need for a filter option. More seriously, we are a destination club now, and I thank PJ for that and the recruiting team, year after year where they have been proved correct, our 2014/15 drafts demonstrating real insight, especially the use of the points system or whatever it is called.

    Great news. Keep the defensive group together. 

    Within 2 years we should be smashing the 8. If that's the case neither will leave

    now let's get Hurley and funk Essendrug right off

    How good has Jack W been since his contract extension.

    Who else but Hogan whose thread is now at 44 pages and if I remember correctly is not the first on the subject.

    Dawes, Trengove, Newton, Pedersen, Matt Jones, Terlich, and the rookies King, White and Michie.

    JKH contracted for 2017.

    Not a lot there for the senior side

    • 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.
