    Member first email.  A nice touch to make those supporters who take that further step of commitment to the club a little special.  I like it.

    I have personally found the clubs email IT to be pretty clunky and unreliable at times.  When I've tried to switch my primary email address its often taken several attempts for it to come into effect.  A bit disappointing, but that's the wounders of IT for you.

    I wonder for how long Salem will sign.

    Signing up now means he has eschewed Free Agency and suggests he could become a one club player.  He is 26 would be very happy to see him sign for 4 to 5 years.

    Signed. 5 years. 

    Woo Hoo!  5 Years - just as I hoped.  Takes him until 31 and hopefully another one-club player!!

    Will have great pleasure updating the 'Contracts' thread.

    It's not the "clubs email IT". Those emails are EDMs that are hosted and sent via ticketmaster.

    Great news, the other beauty of the 5 year deal (without knowing all the $ involved) is the assumption that he might have taken a little less for a longer contract, which then helps retain Oliver, Trac etc. I know Lever extended his contract earlier this year with a similar thing in mind, shows a great mindset from the guys that they want to not only play here, but have their mates stick around as well because we can then afford them!

    Maybe it is a settings thing or they have an old email address of yours on record?

    Five years is an excellent result. He is best mates with Trac and Oliver, both of whom will come out of contract during his 5 year contract.... fingers crossed Salem staying put will go just a tiny way to swaying those two to also sign on.

    From the outside it seems like Oliver, Salem, Brayshaw, Gawn and Trac are very tight. Hopefully this means Trac isn't far off.

    Wow 5 years...  will probably end up a 1 club player.  Awesome news for an awesome player who should be in the current AA team. 

    And theres surely no way Petracca leaves now.

    Great news!  a key pillar in our Premiership attack.  These long term deals for our guns should set us up nicely to be able to manage our cap.  Assuming he is only on good money (not crazy money), we should know exactly what money we have to offer Trac.

    5 year deals only screw your cap when the money is massive. having stability and showing faith and loyality back to our players is a great show of faith and should come back to reward us

    Excellent news. 

    He is such a cog to this team. 

    I was always critical of his pace and height, but seeing his poise, hardness and kicking ability it's been exactly what we need. 

    Great news. Would be amazed if Tracc doesn't sign now.

    The next 5 years should be something.  Trac/Viney/Oliver/Salem/Langdon/Lever all in their prime.  It's our best chance to win a flag in a looooooong time

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
