    Hoping for some injury luck for Lampard next season, we really missed her.

    "Mithen (25) has signed a three-year deal, that will extend her time until at least 2026, while Paxman (35), Pearce (30) and Lampard (26) have signed one-year contracts, that will see them remain with the Dees until at least 2024."

    Is this the first year that AFLW players can sign long term contracts? If so I wonder if there was a reluctance to offer them to any of the recent departures and whether that resulted in them moving on?

    Yep.

    In which case, possibly as much about the longer contracts offered by others? Particularly Hawks and possibly Bombers? North is the curious one...

    Free car? Someone a few doors down from mine has one. It has a big Kangaroos logo on the front door on both sides.

    HB: Goldrick, Colvin, Lampard

    C: McNamara, Purcell, B. Mackin

    HF: Hore, Harris, A. Mackin

    I would have swapped the three year deal for Mithen with the one year deal for Lampard, but that's just me. 

    We need to be very careful to balance the now (Pearce) with the future (Campbell) and ensure that Campbell is getting the opportunities that she needs to stick around long term.

    Keeping track of contracts (with age as of 1 Sep in that year) -

    2027: Hanks (27), Hore (32)

    2026: B.Mackin (27), Mithen (28)

    2025: Goldrick (35)

    2024: Colvin (33), Harris (27), Lampard (27), A.Mackin (27), Paxman (35), Pearce (31), Taylor (26), Watt (36)

     

    Everyone currently aged 25+ (plus Hanks) has been locked in and announced, so no age-related retirements this off-season. Assuming the remaining 10 are locked in, that would make 23 players retained of the list of 31 from 2023.

    Yeah; I wonder what the stories were, behind the quite different lengths of contract that resulted, all apparently in a common timeframe of negotiation. Club driven or player driven?

    Lost 4 quality players but the team still looks strong enough to challenge again next season.  Add 2-3 quality youngsters and would like to see a fit TAYLA HARRIS back and firing.

    Whom hasn’t signed that is still on the list- anyone, please advise.

    Amen to that. I liked the one-year contract for Tayla for 2024 as this season was a tricky one to negotiate on. Another season for us and her to decide how the last phase of her career looks, hopefully to finish it out with us off the back of a great season.

    Agree, at the earliest opportunity. Big future. She's still SO young though that we've got away with another year likely with a promise for something more substantial next time.

    To be a fly on the wall! There is something of a logical pattern to it, though, with priority given to seniority for those in or coming into their prime, one year for the over 30s and the very youngest/newest, and a little extra to some key cogs (correlates strongly with B&F results) and those who potentially had some negotiating power in terms of other interest but who the club views as keepers (I'm speculating Bannan and McNamara in that category).

    Good analysis, DIO.

    You, surely?...

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
