Confident the longer deal on slightly less cash will allow Dogga to sign a 2-3 year deal and Gus gets 5 years on slightly higher coin than Trac & Clarry.

What a morning!

Over to you Gus & Dogga. 

 

...and yes i need to update my username lol.

    I wonder what the figure is? Anyway some good news. 

    My ‘money’ is on it being the same as Petracca - $900k a year. 

    Serious unders really.

    Will be interesting if there is a rider to increase as the cap increases - I assume all contracts will have these.

    900k is far from unders on a 7 year contract

    Woke up this morning and have just found out that my gas heater is stuffed and I am freezing cold , but strangely it feels like it is a most amazing day.

    Reckon if we now snag Gus and Dogga in the not too distant future I could even handle the power going off.

    Go DEES!

    As many have said he will go down as one of the all time great demons. You build entire game styles around players like clarry. What a time to be alive haha

    Sensational news, just a fantastic player! 
    Demons committing to longer deals for players, so certainty for both parties, players accept a little less that will help keep another decent player at the club.

    Brilliant news and definitely our number 1 priority IMO - even though he's not out of contract until next year.

    I'd love to be a fly on the wall in our list managers meetings.  I wonder if Clarry was always priority 1 in there eyes before focusing on AB and LJ or if maybe one of these two has confirmed some not so friendly news which has freed up more cash to get Claytons signature and lock him away.

    Champion midfields are what wins flags.  Having two of the very best in Trac & Oliver locked away for years to come is going to see us at the pointy end of the ladder for a long time.

    Wonderful work!

    Oh ok, how much do you think the best player in the game should be on during his prime? 

    We are giving more years so they will be happy on less money. You like competing for flags, yeah?

    Best player in the AFL. I’ll fight anyone who disagrees. Well done Clarry. Forever a demon legend.

    By signing now he takes all the 'fugazi' out of next year, his Free Agency year and everyone can just get on and play football.

    Also allows the club to establish a benchmark for Brayshaw and Jackson, with Trac and Clarry reasonably marking the top end of our salary model, hopefully there's cap left to offer both of them something like Clarry's salary minus x... to keep the team together.

    Th best thing about this is it was so random. I mean no one was talking about Oliver, yes I know he wasn't out of contract this season but everyone is so focused on Angus and LJ and Melbourne just went boom this morning and dropped this. 

    There is also no fan fare about it, no presser just an email. Now I bet today journos are rushing down to melbourne to speak to him. 

    I reckon whoever sent out the email was pretty happy to be pressing send. 

    It also says that Oliver has no issue what so ever playing under Goodwin and the stuff that was bought up about him in the off season. 

    Well done Clayton.

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
