Might be a good time to get the deal done soon and with Jacko to come out and say how much he respects the Coach and has learned from him.

On reflection it might be why he is yet to re sign Mr. Leg.

    Depending on the size of the wager you could be spot on.

    Heard a whisper that he going to sign in the near future for a further 2 years.

    Heard it via a friend who usually has good mail.

    We shall see........

    Well, implicit in that headline is, who they are not chasing, and for what reasons.

    No surprises there. I predicted a 2 year extension some time ago.

    Would be a silly move to sign for longer when we all know he will just get better. 

    I am hoping Oliver signs a long term deal now that he's heading towards free agency.

    I think there should be a category above elite where a players like Oliver and Petracca could be ranked.

    The grading like A B and C have been used by people like Gary Buckenara there should be an A+, A-, B+, B-, C+ and C-

    Then players like Gawn and Jackson would be ranked properly.

    Every time a new term for an high level player or skill is coined, it slowly loses its meaning as its definition is softened more an more. It used to be 'excellent', 'brilliant' and 'star', until people were using those terms for every hack that played more than 15 games in a year.

    'Elite' didn't exist as a rating 10 years ago, and it probably won't be used in 10 years' time as someone will popularise a term that is even higher than elite to define players that even surpass the level of .... *checks notes* .... Jack Scrimshaw.

    Yeah, like use of the term "hero". Even someone who runs a supermarket is a "local hero".

    The classification 'elite' would have to be the most meaningless segmenting of players in any comp anywhere in the world.

    Yes he is elite for his age and experience and was in the last half of the GF plus about 5 other games.

    He is elite in his age group by winning the 2021 Rising Star !!

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #7 Jack Viney

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
