    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? 
    I received it

    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

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
