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".

What they might have been planning, given they really wanted to keep Hogan, was to keep bucketloads of cap room for him to sign up, then work out what's left. Or, they could decide that the risk of losing some of the players they are holding off on is bigger than the risk of not having enough left in the cap to pay Hogan what he demands, should he eventually decide to stay.

Not that difficult to comprehend, especially given that earlier in the year they were in discussions with Hogan, and now they're not.

Has been solid this year. Earned his contract extension. Well done to the young man.

I definitely understood what you were saying. What you were saying was silly. So I made fun of of it. ?

Good Kent, fingers crossed he can buck the trend and actually play well after signing a new contract.

Max and Nev have done orright.

That makes no sense at all as a strategy. None. hypothetically lets say they did what you suggest and waited on Kent and other players coming out contract in order to maximise the chances of retaining Hogan. What happens if the strategy fails and in addtion to losing Hogan, other like Kent also leave because they get the club has shown no faith or loyalty to them. Glad you don't have Josh's job.

Not what I said. Read it again.

 

I'm thrilled with this.  We're announcing the contracts regularly as more dominoes fall.  Dean is a ripping little player and adds a real point of difference to the other small forwards with his powerful build.  I really hope the selectors for the WA U18 squad are feeling like idiots right now. 

We have players signing contracts quicker than Lleyton Hewitt drops sets, this is fantastic news!
Next up, T-Mac, Watts, Hogan.

After those 3 sign (And I am 99% sure all 3 will...Seriously, who would be silly enough to leave the club now?) We are will quickly become a club that free agents will be looking at come years end.
Guys like Melksham waiting, Hurley and Hibberds name being thrown around like a McEnroe tennis raquet.
We are well and truly on our way guys, *choo choo*, here comes the Melbourne demons train to finish the season like a damn steam train.

Not to mention blokes like Hulett and Weidman, Wagner, HUNT who are getting me more excited than a blind lesbian at a fish market.

Get around eachother boys, the demons are here to stay, and our reserved spot in the 8 for the next decade is quickly being cleaned up and prepped for our arrival.

You could always try friggin` in the riggin`......

Love the agro and effort. On the improve. Was a big fan since the initial signing and he is starting to repay the faith. Go Kenty!


I'm a big fan.

He seems to be (slowly) eradicating the periods of laziness from his game and the result, with his hard-running and hard-working ethic, is that he is getting far more involved, utilising his speed more, and becoming a really important player for us.

Kent to replace Gus on the D'land Banner? :ph34r:

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

 

Missed out on 26 "likes" there DJ.

You really have to get up early to beat Stuie to a populist concern!!

Kent's kicking is underrated. I wouldn't have him kicking for goal for my life, but his ability to pass the ball 55m+ metres is a skill very few AFL players have.

Actually his kick for goal has really improved this year, or at least in recent times I think it's been pretty reliable. Really happy we've got him signed, interesting that it's only a two year contract. Maybe he's backing himself in to have a really good two years and go for some big bucks with us next contract. 

In any case, the more WA boys we sign the better! 

Always knew he would became a good player, could be the best small forward in the game in two, three years

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
