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

Holy [censored] [censored]!

what a [censored] legend!!

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

A question... Haas the contract been signed as yet or ha there been any official word that it is 100% certain?

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

(people have short memories sometimes)

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.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • 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.
