    What a load of waffle 

    Waffle, ill-informed comment, stereotyping, venomous accusations, misleading statements, bull-baiting and hysterical fictionalism is the glue that binds 'Land together.

    Thanks Dazzle. That's exactly the kind of injection this thread needed.

    Kind of strange reporting from Tom Browne - he says that Alan Richardson is confident of a deal being reached soon, but then seems to imply that he knows more information and that Richo and the club have got that wrong. Surely the club would be well aware of where the talks currently stand?

    If Jackson did sign through to free agency like he said, then it would be a 5 year deal and a fantastic result.

    I want Jackson and Oliver for life! Tracc is signed for a long time! Anyone else is next level down, so not as much concerned.

    They may be next level down now Picket, but perhaps not in 2-5 years.

    Not applicable to Jacko but Trac and Clarry are hitting their straps after a few years in the system. We have a number of kids that have heaps of talent and could be great players in a few years. 

    Concern yourself with the present but always with an eye to the future.

    Clarry hit his straps with his first game at the club & has been a star ever since

    3 time b&f,  2021Coaches player of the year etc etc & he’s only 24

    Get him signed for the next 6 years

    Yeah... I have heard that it will be 2 years but I also heard a conflicting version that it will be longer.... possibly 4 years. 

    Not sure what to believe. 

    I'd like to believe 4, so 4 it is. Thank you mate. 🤣

    Would be quite happy to offer Clarry 7-8 years to take him to 32 or so.

    ....and the reason it will be mid-year because that is when the new AFLPA bargaining agreement is expected to be signed.  At the moment Clubs and players don't know how much money is in the pot. 

    It has to be signed sometime between June and end of October.  Once it is then the pie can be divvied up.

    It could also be from the club's end. It's best to wait for all parties, then we know how much to pay you.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
