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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
