Doubt his manager is flying over to not sign. Just maybe everyone is excited over the length of the contract.

    That’s it the 50 minute bus trip to The Cattery 😉

    Or a ferry ride across the bay if you are big Maxy!

    Makes me nervous when I listen to the radio & they talk about Luke and they say the footy talk is he's going. 

    Please Luke stay

    Pretty sure he’s going to stay after he gets this picture I drew him and also the 50 cent sealer I put in with it.

    All based on the fact he hasn't signed yet.

    Smoke and mirrors. He will sign 3-4 years. The one I am a little concerned about is Clarry only signing on for another 2. I have said it before I would have signed him on for the time that we signed Viney on for and signed Viney on for 2.

    its all good we got clarry locked away now. Now for Lukes Signature till 2040 and we can all relax a little bit

    A no risk position for the media to say he is gone. Generates interest, and If he stays they can just say they were right at the time, but he changed his mind late.

    Journos go with it so on the odd occasion they are right, they can say they were first to go with it.

    Let's hope he doesn't hit the green option and mucks the signature!

    Jarrod Witts has 2 years left on a contract. Would be a great handover from Max to him. 
    not sure of chance to get before contract ends but

    Witts is the AA ruck this year so far imo

    Witts turns 30 in September, Gawn will still be 30 then.  Why would we be handing from Gawn to Witts?  And other than hitouts, Gawn leads Witts (easily) in just about every other measurable stat for the season. Assuming Max doesn't miss more than a couple of games he's the AA ruck again.

    Green was always a last resort!!

    There was a guy I worked with back in the 90’s at ABC who only wrote in Green Pen!

    Oh right. Didn’t think Witts was that old

    Why?

    They are a manufactured team with no history, hardly any supporters and the supporters of other clubs couldn’t give a stuff about them. The AFL has gifted them a really good list, a couple of times, but we got nothing when we were struggling. So for the sake of TV rights they have done whatever they could to give them success 

    As a Melbourne supporter, why is is important they are a contender?

    Would you be happy to see them beat us in a GF.

     

    We got support- got priority picks, even 'tanked' for it, got financial bailouts, got afl support to get Jackson and Roos. stuffed most of that up, but we've got something out of it in the end, and man, doesn't it feel amazing to be able to be on the winners side. So wouldn't it be a good thing to see some lads trying their best, and a coach putting in the ridiculous hard work get some reward? They're are good people trying hard.

    Just because you care about Dees doesn't mean you also want others to fail. Speaking on my own behalf at least.

    Good points but fairly big $$$ being thrown at rugby states could more equitably used to gold-plate the proposed Hobart stadium. Then you could have Brisbane suns-of-the-royboys.

    After last week and yesterday, I’m uppping my offer to $900k over 6 years (total $5.4m).  He’s going to be premier ruckman in the league within 2 years. Maxy can go to full forward and kick 100.

    Pondering if the delay in an announcement/signing of contract (whatever it may be) is an orchestrated maneuver, as all parties are part of the payroll/accreditation of the AFL...

    The populous are hungry for clarity... 'click' 'click 'click'*

    Like Imagining Max as the second ruckman. Like him even more as a KPF. Will prolong his career and would improve our forward line considerably

    Would be ok with Young being part of the deal if LJ leaves. Dead set gun

    • 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.

    • 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.
