Have listen to the video around the 55 second mark, is it just me or does Jetta say has invited the players along to the Queens Birthday game. 

Then look at the turf which looks hard and dry and the crowd aren't in pants or warm clothes and it makes me wonder when Jetta actually signed his contract! My guess is April or before.

That makes me think the club is announcing things on a schedule so we all feel good in small doses through the year. Smart thing to do but makes me wonder who else has signed that we haven't heard about yet!

Why the new thread?

Because this thread isn't about Jetta resigning as such and is more about the fact he resigned ages ago and it is asking the question as to who else has signed that we don't know about.

Did you actually read what I wrote?

I think you'll find on the official Melbourne FC Twitter page they posted a photo of Jetta taking the training session which is in the video above on Wednesday . The oval looks that dead colour because most local sporting grounds use that type of grass now, dies in winter & goes yellowish & in summer is nice & green. Good theory but don't think it's true

Yes Chris I read what you wrote. 

But out of those left who's contracts expire at years end we have :

Watts : All but put pen to paper. 

Hogan/Tmac : Already have their own threads regarding this. Too big a signing to hold off on announcing.

Grimes : Gone but same as above.

Kent and Dawes : No idea 

I get your point, same as when Petracca made his debut and Trengove broke back into the side, they're drip feeding us hope. I just didn't think it warranted a new thread.

He says in the video that he will be taking the players to the QB day game. You may well be right about the grass but the ground still looks solid and the crowd don't look cold. 

I still think the club are being a little sneaky.

The Diversity cup was on this week at Buleen, during school holidays so video is fresh and so is news

But Nev wasn't in Bullen, he was in Dandenong for training.

The club almost always holds off announcing re-signings until a controlled moment. It's all about PR.

You know you're improving when we are less worried about the fact of the signing and now more worried about narrowing down to the exact date and time someone signed a contract by over analysing the announcement video.

So the grass is a deadish colour and the crowd looks warmish....you're right, this is big, continue thread.

Pretty sure if you listen closely he said they "came" to the queens birthday game and will be coming to the adelaide game... Also there's just as many people in the crowd wearing jumpers & pants. Not to mention the fact Jettas wearing a tracksuit & Robbos a jacket. I guarentee you that video was filmed during the week...

And what about what he said? I assume you ignored that because you don't have an answer. 

Let me make it easy for you, he may simply have mixed his words up a bit and said 'will go to' instead of 'went to'. Entirely possible. I may also be hearing it wrong, also entirely possible. Or, he said 'will go to' because this was filmed before the QB game and the club have been found out holding on to info, which many suspect them of doing. 

This point is the crux of the comment, not the minor points you picked on. Although if it made you feel better then great, happy I helped your day a little.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
