Heard on SEN this morning that the Hun is reporting that Bernie has re-signed.  Nothing on the MFC website a this stage, but if true, I am rapt.

Bernie has embraced the club fully since coming over from Adelaide and is a great character for the MFC.

Oh!  My Kingdom for a humble hyphen!  (Hyphens are my friend!  Especially if it means the difference between whether one of our stars stays or goes...!!) So, to be plain, we want Jeffie to RE-SIG

Yeah its in the paper.  He needed to pay two more games to trigger the clause but the club got pro active and signed him to a better deal.

I think I recall reading somewhere that Garlett isn't too far from re-signing as well.

EDIT: Cheers Vagg. Sorry for the scare ;)

Great news re Bernie.

I hope Dawes is looking at a reduced term as well. In fact, I'd probably only offer him 1 year if he gets a contract at all.

Signing Bernie to a new deal is fantastic for the Club.  He has truly become a 'heart and soul' player, and his contribution has greatly exceeded my early expectations.

So many of these deals happen long before they are announced, the clubs use them as a marketing tool, especially with big name players like Vince and Tommy Mac.

Talk of Dawes' savage pay cut seems stupid to me. He's got the rest of the year to get back to fitness and show he can still offer something at AFL level.

If he does that - or even if he doesn't and they still want him for 1 more year - he'll get paid like an experienced AFL player, which means probably 300k minimum. 

Only rookies, new draftees and the most fringe of fringe players are getting paid any less that that these days.

For us to keep moving forward Dawes needs to be a 'fringe of fringe' player.

I thought it was a 4 year contract when he came over?

I think it was, and he triggered that extension with the games he played, but the club decided to negotiate a new deal anyway that went to 2019 and paid more money.  As you would probably agree I think he has earned that new deal.

If he can't get himself fit enough to play consistent footy (or at least on the park) then he might get the ultimate pay cut...

300k is way overs for someone that can't get on the park and has no other team knocking the door down to get him. We couldn't get a trade for Dawes if we tried.

This could well be his last year at the club.

Spoke to Bernie earlier this year. Said he feels great and wants to play for 4 more years at least. Which would be the end of 2019. 

We'd most likely have a nice look at his first born son if that were the case. :)

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
