    I like this quote from the article @dazzledavey36 posted 'Petracca was committed to staying on a long-term arrangement and did not want to eek out every last dollar from Melbourne to the detriment of his teammates.'

    That is what it’s all about. Making room for your Teammates…

    PJ and Roosy deserve some respect out of all this. 
    The Club was almost dead when PJ walked in

    Tom Browne's report pretty much was based around other clubs saying they've asked about Petracca and his manager has said 'he's not interested'.

    Personally I reckon there's probably a lot more to do to complete a deal. Petracca will want to stay and the club will have a rough ball park of the money he's worth but after that there's so many factors on how to get the deal done.

    The Dogs right now are negotiating with Bont who is 1.0001 to stay and to get a huge deal, but they are working through all sorts of factors with the structure.

    There's a long way between Petracca indicating he's happy to stay and the club indicating a ball park figure and everything getting signed and sealed.

    Tom Browne irritates me with his hyped up substance free reporting.

    I watched the story a few times. Browne hasn't added a shred of real information to what already existed on this forum days ago, which is excellent btw @goodwindees thanks heaps.

    The $$ figure and terms are in the written story saying "as much as" and "as long as" so just guessing what is a ball park number. The other info is easily stirred up or created, like other clubs interested and asking questions.

    Tom Morris reckons he's confirmed details  -  and added substantial info  -  suggesting he has a reliable source. Or perhaps he knows @goodwindees

    It's official until it's proved not to be official ... mfc is strategically leaking to channel 7 with its larger audience, not the first time

    This is Goodwin more than anything now..

    I'm a bit over Roosy still getting kudos. He left 5 years ago. Yet nothing on Goodwin whos created the environment for these players to want to stay and sign long term. This got nothing to do with Paul Roos or Peter Jackson.

    People need to move on from Paul Roos and Give Goodwin the credit he deserves. 

    His time with us was a bit overrated imo.

    This afternoon the Club tabled an offer to CP that if accepted would essentially make him a Demon for life. 

    Stay alert as the offer is so attractive, we might get a prompt acceptance. 
     

    Well played sir.
    Never thought he would sign for so long.

    I'm definitely not having a crack at Paddy, but here's a photo of seemingly two young blokes with the world at their feet. And yet by the hand of fate one is about to hopefully hit paydirt tomorrow, and the other has just put another hurdle in front of his luckless life.

    Pretty sure he didn't mean "scream out each dollar in fear".

    Without Roos, we wouldn’t be here. He put the Foundations back in the ground, with PJ. 

    His time with us wasn’t overrated at all

    As a total aside - this is one of the worst lit photos in the history of photography. They look like 2 cardboard cut outs shot on 2 different days and superimposed onto the Docklands at the incorrect scale. It’s so bad it can only be real, as anybody trying to fake it would think ‘nah, that looks [censored]’.

    Goodwins gone through much more adversity then Roos did with us. Goodwins had his own challanges and rebuilt the list back up again. Without Goodwin, Oliver, Salem and Petracca are looking at new clubs.

    Roos got what he came for and that was the $$. This whole notion of the club wouldn't be here without him is actually laughable.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
