And this should be a reflection of outsiders, wanting to come IN.

free agents we're waiting for you.

Please, wipe your feet at the door, and come in for a coffee & Smashed Avo' sandwich.

no, charcuterie and cheeseboard with artisan bread

but yep, we 100% should be in the market for a free agent

  • sloane
  • gaff
  • liberatore
  • dahlhaus
  • nick smith

in that order of preference

Yep has to be a quality runner first up.

Someone said Kelly, I don't know if can afford him. And for a loong term Kelly contract..

 

And similarly Lynch I'd love that Tall Forward 2nd ruck. But again can we really afford, & do we with need him now with Tmc doing his thing ?

I think now we need to add run/carry with skill, and pace.  Not in one player, but to start to install these attributes into our list, but without sacrificing any hardness, that we have rebuilt somewhat back into our jumper.

You know, when a young Champion in Clarry signs till the end of 2021 it just shows how much he loves the Club and his team mates around him. I have the greatest respect for the way he has conducted himself on and off the ground since his mishap.

He is a credit to his Family. You have made my day in fact my year and you will help my dream come true soon enough.

i wonder how much salary cap we have to play with?.. we might need to get rid of a player or two to afford sloane or one of the dogs? maybe t-mac or a combo of players (JKH, Stretch, Salem?)?

Jack Watts kicks some goals in a pre-season game - a gazillion posts within the day.

The player with probably the greatest potential I've seen in my time supporting the MFC signs on for a few more years after a basically unparalleled sophomore season at the club  -  a couple dozen minor congrats. 

I'm afraid that Schwab and co. did some serious psychological damage to a large swathe of our supporter-base.

Petracca and Oliver have the goods to be around the club for the next 15 years.

If Hogan develops into a gun CHF dare I say they are three you can build a dynasty around.

We have not had those types of players for so long I cannot recall the last elite player we had.

At present it is all potential but they do give us oldies reason to dream.

Another step up like last year and Oliver will be a genuine star of the competition. Consolidating his improvements from last year and helping us move to become a feared midfield team would be a start. 

I reckon if he can add more damage to his outside game he could be anything. 

Developing synergies with Petracca, Gawn, Viney and other midfielders over coming couple of years only bodes well. 

Thanks for signing on young man!

What awesome news before the season starts. Done with a minimum of fuss too - 2 weeks from discussions starting to signing. 

Well done, Clarrie....you have the support and gratitude of tens of thousands of Melbourne FC fans

As an aside I hope the MFC have taken multiple video examples of Ollie's handballing skills and had them cleared at AFL house.

Those calls last night worry me as it did others.

Clarrie's handballing has taken the game by storm - completely legal, completely innovative, completely perfect for a team on the rise, thanks to him. Let us sincerely hope that video examples of these skills are brought to the attention of umpires who so often get such calls absolutely wrong. Genius is often - for convenience - unrecognised.

Could be worse. I'm pleasantly surprised one of our whingers hasn't complained that he only signed on so quickly because our footy department doesn't know what it's doing and offered him too much money.

We're a strange bunch at Demonland, we would rather tear a kid apart, Weideman, because he hasn't become a star of the competition than recognise the talents and the loyalty shown by a kid the same age who has shown talent and maturity beyond his years. The news that he has re signed for a further 2 years is fantastic, we have, obviously, got a united and dedicated group of players all keen to remain with the club and win a flag for themselves and us supporters.

Good on you Clarrie, great to see you believe in the club. Thanks to the recruiters and the Coach for recognising the talent and character he has.

Great news. Now we’ve had Oliver, Petracca, Viney, Gawn and Lever all sign on for at least another 3 years. Massive for this clubs future development.

It is great news indeed and sets up the club for a period of stability for at least another two years.  Whilst it's clear that this core crop of really talentented players have bought into the present direction of the club, I think the need to re-sign them again in a few years will keep the pressure on the coaches and club to keep moving in the right direction.  By the time these guys are looking for their next contract, they will be pretty much in the prime of their career and worth considerably more at the negotiating table.  So it's really signing up for another 3 or 4 years in 2020 that will get me excited.  The really interesting stuff will be when these guys get to free agency status.

Still, the actions of the likes of Trac, Viney, Gawn and Oliver actually match their rhetoric of wanting to be one club players so far and I see it as a big positive that they are signing up before the season has started.  Makes for a very refeshing change from the way that $cully scum treated us.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
