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.

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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
