I like too much about this club at the minute. I haven’t had a legitimate whinge in ages. Just a game day outburst or 2. Foreign territory and I’m scared.

Sam Edmund on SEN just said that Christian Salem will be staying at the Dees and it's just a matter of timing before it's announced. Continued by saying he wants to stay, and the dees want him st

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!

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.

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

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
