problem is contacts begin at end of October, so a 6 month contract basically means nov,dec.jan,mar,apr,may - not much actual football here

    He didn't say 6 month contract, he said a 10-12 game, half season contract.

    Not a stupid idea, as it probably only would be used for assisting veterans get to a milestone, or giving guys on the fringe a last chance at impressing the FD.

    i guess this would also mean a mid season draft?

    I wouldn't mind this, potentially packaged with some kind of role to keep Jones involved in a coaching or training capacity (similar to what we offered Lewis, Cross and Byrnes). It's about time we started keeping some long-time servants of the club on as staff rather than watching them build their post-footy careers elsewhere (Yze, Neitz, Bruce, Green, Rivers, Miller to name a few). With that said, I have no idea whether Jones wants to pursue coaching or if he'd be good at it.

    The soft cap for 2021 has been slashed by one third from approx $9M to $6M.

    Coaching and support jobs will be at a premium.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
