This is brilliant. 

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!

Go you good thing Clarry great news

Holy [censored]! This has honestly not only made my day but made my year!

 

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

12 b&f  on the cards

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.

Hopefully this will instigate some movement on the Brayshaw and LJ front and get them signing up too. 

Wow remember the horrible days when no one wanted to stay and they'd all leave. Now players are signing life contracts. 

Gave me goosebumps!! So happy he has committed to the Dees for so long 

congrats to the club for getting this done ❤️💙

This is outstanding! 

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.

 

 

We need a happy crying emoticon.

I’d hang off updating user name until end of September- save you having to do it again

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.

Article says $7m

Live scenes: me smashing F5 on @Lucifers Hero's  Contract thread. 

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.
