    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
