I don't think they will for 2 reasons. Firstly, they have an abundance of his type of player, so it wouldn't be the end of the world if he left. Secondly, they have too many stars that they need to re-sign next year.

Thirdly he's injury prone and would be 30 by the time the contracts up.

Last two seasons: Melbourne - Finals played 3 / wins 2 Losses 1 Brisbane - Finals played 2 / wins 0 losses 2 While we had a shocking year, to say they are miles ahead is ridiculous.

I know I’m a broken record on this, but it still always surprises me when people care about how much players are paid. When a) we have no idea how we’re positioned salary cap wise and b) we can only e

This. 

Unfortunately in four years after paying 'overs ' and Hawthorn paying 'unders', they will still be strong  and we will still be paying 'overs'.

If we miss out we will say he’s injury prone and we dodged a bullet. If we get him everyone will say it’s a great get for the club. ?

Im over paying overs.

Until we have some success we’re going to have to pay overs to entice decent players. 

 If we ever have sustained success we might even be able to entice elite players.

Reports are that Hawthorn withdrew their offer. Hopefully this didn’t happen because of an issue with his medical (if he even had one).

Hopefully? Don't you know?

I am starting to have some serious doubts. Give us something to restore the faith

It was more of a ‘I hope he didn’t fail his medical, hint hint ?’

I wonder if we have given him a medical or if we're even at that stage.

Presumably he still wants to be a Pie and will only entertain others once that ship has sailed in terms of him getting what he wants.

Flabbergasted that we would let Frosty go before Oscar.

You realise it doesn't simply work like that right?

You must get flabbergasted a lot.

With Hawks pulling out, I am getting the feeling he may have told them, it's the Pies or us. They could be saving face, so if he goes they don't look like he rejected them.

He could be waiting for the B & F to be over  and giving the Pies the chance to match our offer, or at least get close.

Anyway, I am just speculating.

Comes across like he's playing for a better deal from the Pies and it's backfiring because they aren't coming to the party so he's being forced to consider his options

Not sure it’s a game.  

This is very likely to be his last contract in the AFL.  He may have a preference for Collingwood and is keen for them to match our offer - otherwise, for his own good, he’d need to take the best offer on the table.

I suspect that we'll know of his decision in the next 24 hours. He's leaving for a 2 week holiday tomorrow, so any deal would have to be done before then.

His interview sounded like a man going, rather than a man staying. Collingwood haven't increased their offer of 2 years. I believe that Melbourne have offered him 3 years with an option of a 4th. Everything I've heard in the last 24 hours has led me to believe that he is leaving, and that he'll most likely join us.

I think along with Tomlinson we will hear tomorrow as both the Pies and GWS have their b&f tonight

Yep, hence the next 24hrs. I suspect it will be around 10am tomorrow morning.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
