I don't know why his preference is relevant 

The Bombers will find out this year.

    I said it a little while ago. But I believe Harmes 5 year contract (possibly back ended) was done early to free up space to take Martin...

    I'd love jack martin at the club, however I'd much prefer to have cap space and be in the picture for those 2020 free agents. [censored] that list looks amazing

    Previously cold to occasionally lukewarm, I'm now fully in support of poaching Martin from Carlton. The surprise inclusion of Bennell has left me ravenous for more, a return to my lower socio-economic youth when at Christmas I would tell myself that presents didn't matter - until I unwrapped the very first gift, and then instantly bored of last freebie and caught in the grip of a capitalistic frenzy would be immediately desperate for fresh stimulation. Who gave a [censored] if the parents couldn't afford it?

    Take him at pick 2 and pay what we can afford.  Maybe around 350-400k

    Wanted to play for Carltank? Bad luck pal, its a draft

    Keep up. He nominates a contract amount which must be agreed upon. We can't give him 350 if he has nominated 600

    Or $800k, if Blues can afford it and they know we want him.

    If he doesn't want to play for us at a reasonable amount, make those scum bags pay through the nose.

    I heard from someone in the know at Carlton that they will front load at 800k for the first year and offer a five year deal.

     

    He is not coming to us.

    Has he actually nominated his salary yet? When does he have to?

    In my opinion if he isnt worth 800K per annum, he must be close. I wouldnt be surprised if he really turns it on next year. Although we have many irons in the fire, Martin is close to a sure bet as an A grade player.

    Probably im wrong but I think he is fit now and ready to fire. Much more likely to play 20 games than Bennell. While costing a lot more than any other PSD player, if we have the money, I hope we go for it and act like a big club would.

    Didn't  this scenario happen to us years ago with that backman from Sydney.???. Put a shitload on his own head so we couldn't pay and got to the tigers.  Thought the afl should of canned this loophole  by now, if you ask for $800 a year, they should make sure that player gets it for the contract years. If ya that desperate to get out of a club, bad luck pal.

    Jack Martin has attracted 10 times the amount of headlines through this dummy spit episode of wanting to get to Carlton, compared to his entire playing career. Talk about melodramatic. Avoid.

    I'm happy with Bennell, someone who wants to be at the club.

    He nominates a 2 yr salary from what I understand. So if Carlton offer him a 5yr deal with the first 2 at $800 and the next 3 at $300 lets say (ie $500k a year) we are unlikely to match the first 2 yrs at $800 (he is under no obligation to sign 5 yrs)

    Darren Gaspar. It was about 300k - huge at the time.

    Quoting the famous "The castle" line "Tell them they are dreaming. He wants 5 years at a million a year  for many club wanting him in the pre season draft.

    It's not a million per year mate, just a million for the first year on what would be a heavily front loaded contract to ward off potential suitors.

    He doesn’t want a million a year, probably more realistically 600-700 and no doubt performance bonuses.

    But he can and likely has structured the deal with 1Mil for the first year. Exactly what everyone predicted.

    That number would force us to back end a lot of money and harm our chances of retaining Oliver and Petracca on good deals and then likely cost us player/s down the road.

    What a [censored], happy to see him go to Carlton and chew up their salary. Absolutely no where near worth the money he is demanding.

    This is where the AFL should institute a rule that says the average per year is what cold be matched. It its 5 years for 600k AVERAGE per year, that is what clubs should be allowed to match, not the heavily front ended number. If another club will pay 600 per year for 5 years............

    Rule worth considering imo. 

    He would have been nice, but we dont need him.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
