Salem still unsigned 

Good point but out of this years list he is probably the only one (Jake Spencer aside) that would interest other clubs from a bidding viewpoint.

Perhaps they are waiting for the new salary cap info as 2018 is a major year for re-signings.

Salem is a key player going forward if for no other reason than his comparative kicking skills.

    Not too worried about him to be honest.  I think he'll sign in the next month or so - that's just my opinion though, not based on anything.

    Frost, Stretch and Pedersen are the other ones who you would think are in line for extensions.  Guys like ANB and Kennedy are around the mark, but someone like VandenBerg might be in trouble with his recent injury history, although he will probably get another year.

    Salem won't be going anywhere.

    Theres about half a dozen others who may or may not be at the MFC in 18. Christian will ;)

    Well looks like he won't be playing this year as he has suffered a setback.

    This might be a bit easier to follow.

    Frost has put off negotiations.  Would expect ANB to be next of the 2017 OOC.  Then early extensions on a batch of the 2018 OOC players as the club spends its $2m CBA bounty and spreads it around a bit.  Will help keep poachers at bay.

    Being realistic the 2017 OOC players most at risk are Trengove, Spencer and despite his good work it may be Pedo as Weideman becomes more developed.

    We are going to need some serious cash available to keep the key parts of the 2018 expiring list. Gawn, Trac, Jet and the Macca bros won't come cheap! I'm already losing sleep over it....

    Thanks Lucifer for the updates.

    Frost a huge priority. ANB next and Vanders and Stretch after that IMO and after the latest CBA, we should be able to up all of their salaries to retain them.

    The rest can wait until end of season, although club's decision on Vince (either way) is pretty major. We are finally in the window, so I'd be disappointed if we did not re-contract him for another year.

    Tricky decisions on all the rookies - with Maynard the only one who seems to have progressed majorly during year so far - although Tim Smith has been unlucky.

    But a lot can happen in the final few weeks, especially when careers are on the line.

    The list manager decision on how many bigs it wants to carry is also pretty pivotal, especially with the trend away from dinosaurs.

    Interesting that the SA boys haven't been re signed yet....maybe we are looking at someone from SA....:cool:

    Would it make sense to rookie Spencer next year as back up.

    The big call will be on Pederson. If we don't trade for an older KPF/ruck I see him getting one more year. He has been great for the club and deserves to be treated with dignity.

    I'd hope that there'll be some more announcements in line with Hunt singing on for an additional 2 last week. They've spoken about making sure there's enough to pay all the guys who are maturing into really good players, so hopefully they get the one's you've mentioned done early cause they'll create the most headlines.

    Next year may be a Pedo/ Weed transition year. I'd certainly want Pedo around for 2018.

    We've seen how easily and quickly a few injuries can change dynamics.

    Frost i'd want signed asap.  Others....dunno... I know some here would want some expeditory with respect to a lot of players but I think the FD might have this in hand. They unlike myself are privy to who might well be coming onboard.

    The latest:

    4P8cqt7XhhLHQAAAAASUVORK5CYIIA

    This weeks changes: Stretch signed up for 2 more years. T Smith signed up for 1 more year.  Note:  Smith's contract extension is as a Rookie.

    Of the 2017 OOC I would expect Vince, King, Van d, Frost (if he wants it) and ANB to be signed up before too long.  Just leaves Kennedy, Trengove, Pedersen, Spencer and Hulett as unsigned.  Then some decisions on the rookies who may all be kept for another year. 

    Interesting trade period coming up.  If my predictions are right, we won't have OOC players with 'trade currency'.  So, unless we trade out recently signed players (which I doubt) we will be trading picks to get the players we have been linked with.

    I'd give pedo and spencer another year 

  • Quote

    Having never seen Hulett play, I would be interested in what others think of his prospects.  Only 20, but doesn't sound like he's been close to selection this year. He was all the rage early last year but receives little to no coverage nowadays.

     

    Has he shown any signs that he could develop into a player?  Even a rookie lost spot?

    Spencer is ready to go at afl level if gawn goes down and pederson is a very handy depth player who will strongly compete for a spot

    Did you know he was actually drafted as a forward, Bruce?

    What about King and Fil.... whatever his name is. Are these on our list as ruckman and if so is that normal?

    It's normal to have that many ruckman, yeah, the other two are very much developing. If Gawn goes down spencer is the back up

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
