Wow it does feel strange to see good players re-sign with the players over the years who have walked. 

I guess a wining culture and positivity does help. 

 

Club twitter just now...

"The club's running unbelievable at the moment – 4-0, couldn't be in a better place. Probably in recent years, when the other teams have got a run on against us, we've been a little bit negative, but we've matured as a group and we're handling it a lot better."

Never doubted him.    Love love love Clarrie    Lady Gaga Thank You GIF

 

Outstanding news,   Fan, blooody, tastic  news even, shows Commitment on behalf of the player to the club, I hope his reward the other way was more than adequate .   He will want to stay for longer if we win a Granny this year and/or next.


As much as I have criticised Clarry on this site for various things over the years (e.g. kicking scrubbers, overhead loose handballs, grinning after missing easy goals, etc.) and posted heresay about his text message to Cripps last year, I am sincerely happy that he has signed on.

Clarry is a genuine A grade inside mid and we need players like him to finally win another premiership. Well done to all involved who helped him over the line in the contract negotiations. Go Dees.

That is extremely interesting.

The Yze impact seems under appreciated, Hasn’t been spoken off as much as Williams.

Bringing in Yze and Williams will prove to be THE switch that turned this club around 

 

If we believe this to be the case, then Pert probably needs to take credit for keeping our quality players on the list with the review and changes he drove. Personally, I don't doubt he was looking around (or maybe his mgr was for him) but he would have needed interest from a team that will challenge sooner than MFC to have even considered moving and Carlton was never that team - they do however have salary cap room to help drive his price up which is handy. Anyway, excited to have him on board and love the way he goes about his footy. We have an awesome midfield emerging with maturity

Sounds promising ... can you advise if its player related, football dept related, any other category you could narrow it down to?

Don’t know. Maybe it was just all round frustration, but he and Yze are working really well together i am assured, so i was confident he would sign. 

so maybe he is coachable after all.

Everyone is coachable when they are engaged and want to learn. 
Yze was not only a gun player, but part of a 3peat. 
helps


I just love this Club to death ..... and back again!

Sorry Bigred but I disagree. No Melb fan would ever under appreciate YZE. One of the smartest payers of the Daniher era, a Clarkson strategist for nearly 10 years and was wanting to come home 2 years ago. Rightfully Clarkson made him stay.

Williams is brilliant in other aspects and a great coaching addition.

But underestimate YZe's imact on the way the team is playing?

- Never. Clarry's signature sosays so too.

Tracc on 360- wrapped about Oliver.

Said difference between now and two years ago is we take feedback heaps better and are more mature, whereas two years ago, we may have said 'get stuffed' to feedback.

Sign of maternity for sure, to be able to take well intentioned feedback.

(And in that spirit, it’s rapt, not wrapped - or wrapt as we sometimes see on this forum. Rapt, as in rapture.)

In the immortal words of Dennis Denuto, F'n Brilliant.

Keep the good news flowing through Dees.

Love it. F'n Love it.

A massive vote of confidence for Goodwin. No way he signs so early if he does not fully support the coach and the direction we are heading.

About time we all get behind the coach

Even higher than that.  I'm saying no more.

Surely it isn’t Pert leaving or anything. Can you at least put that to rest please?

As per my previous post.  I am not saying anything more.

 

Fantastic news! How good is this to be a Dees supporter at the moment. Perfect start to the year. Key forwards to come in. Oliver and Hunt committing to new deals. Max doing same pre-season. Jonesy to play his 300th on Anzac Eve when we rip the Tigers a new one!

Would the love be so ardent if we had lost all 4 games and Oliver decided not to re-sign. 

Sorry Old Fart but it is amazing to read the accolades and love after a few wins. They better keep winning.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
