Beat me by 20 seconds Stuie. Cracking news. A really important signing going forward.

    Another domino falls! Only a few to go now, get it done Josh!

    Great to have Kent signed for a few more years, still lots of improvement left in him I reckon!

    Another one of those good things happen when he has the ball in hand types. This year has done his confidence a lot of good and round him off for a big next year.

    A couple more tatts and up his endurance and we should all be wrapt.

    Spot on Wiseblood.  The pincer movement becomes more apparent with each passing week.  This one will be crucial in terms of Jesse's deliberations and influential in the deliberations of any players outside the club that may be pondering their futures.   It can't hurt in the Tmac scenario either, particularly if it emerges that Dean left some money on the table with this (not asserting that's the case).

    Good to have him sing on for a few more years and reject opposition interest. He's an important cog on our half forward line so hopefully he can remain injury free and build on his decent form this year. Only a few key players left to sign up now...

    He's my  favourite  Kent

    Brilliant news and a great show of faith and loyalty by Kent, as the WA sides would've surely come knocking.

    Offers a real point of difference as a player and he'd be the sort you'd want if he were playing for another club.

    Really knows how to bounce back from poor games does Dean. Not that he's had many. Very consistent goal kicker (12 games in a row with 1+). 

    I remember when he debuted he was just one of the Deans, but now his indisputably the #1 Dean, taking the throne from Dean Cox.

    Interesting to see how this might play out with Hogan. 

    I'd have thought they would have waited for him, to see what might be left for Watts, Jetta, Kent, TMac.

    It feels like they've decided they can't wait for Jesse, and will sign everybody else they can, then see what's left for Jesse.

    While it's great that we're signing these blokes up, each one that drops reduces our flexibility around Hogan.

    well deserved dean

    Great news. Could be more consistent, but very damaging when he is on.

    Now to work on others.

    Watts & McDonald are the next most important signings.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's how they do contracts. Josh Mahoney yells from his office, "First in, best dressed fellas - get em' while they're hot".

    A shame he can't "sing" but great news.  Go Dees

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
