"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...

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.

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.

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?...

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
