Cats have apparently leap frogged Pies as favourites in the Bailey Smith chase.

He has a contract with Cotton On already, a major Cats supporter.

Likes surfing.

Is probably not adverse to owning property, even farms.

It is very hard to compete with some clubs for players.

👍Cotton On.

👍 Surfing.

👎Farming. Tractor work too risky. Might get his hair caught in the PTO.

    Hawks have reportedly offered Josh Battle a six year deal 

    We’re still interested but no reported offer from us yet

    wants to be an inside midfielder 

    wouldn't be in the dogs' best 5 starting inside mid types behind bontempelli, liberatore, richards, macrae, and treloar

    Gonna be a Jeremy Howe situation all over again.

    If it was an issue of inside midfield minutes, Baz would be playing as an inside mid in 2025 for the Dogs

    Obviously he doesn't like Beveridge and/or his team mates

    Reid reportedly worth $18M for 10 years.  That’s a nice pay packet. From what I’ve seen of the kid, he’ll be worth every penny. If we are not moving heaven and earth to make cap space we are plain stupid.

    6 years is a lot for Josh Battle. Good player, but he’s no Weitering/Sam Taylor

    He'd look super with his blonde hair and one of those hairbands too. It's like he's almost there already

    And is potentially an acl injury away from ruining a teams cap space if they’re silly enough to offer him that length of contract.

    We won't have to worry about it.

    He won't be coming to us.

    It will be the Bombers or another big club if he leaves WC.

    We already have a concussed retired player, a severely injured one and another with issues, all on long and large contracts to worry about.

    concussion would be more of an issue

    acl is, relatively speaking, something than be recovered from with time and training but a 'medical retirement' forced upon a player due to abnormal brainwaves cannot be reversed

    I hope we are right into Davies-Uniacke even if it's a hail mary and he's unlikely to leave. Exactly what we need

    It’s silly until it wins you 1-2 flags. We offered these monster contracts post flag era as we thought we would have 1-2 more. In hindsight maybe not the best move.

    This is the problem with attracting free agents- you have to pay them more than they are worth both in terms of dollars and length.
    I wonder if what’s happened with Gus and Clarry have us a little gun shy of offering big long term contracts.

    We've got plenty of players on absurdly long contracts, I've seen no evidence of us changing tack. 

    You're a plodder in the VFL, Bailey Laurie, here's a contract until 2026. Here are contracts to take you into your mid 30s Steven May and Max Gawn.

    would happily give battle a six year deal

    versatile talls who impact in the air and at ground level don't grow on trees

    he's only 25, will only be 31 when he next comes out of contract

    Just out of curiosity i saw on tv last night that Rowbottom from Swans has purchased a house in Prahran, also that about 6 MFC players have nominated to become members of Huntingdale golf club when it reopens late next year ,those players included Harry Petty.

    Despite his form issues so far this season, I’d love if Harry signed new contract. Be a nice little pick me up if both him and Langers signed on the dotted line sometime soon. 
    @Dannyz any updates on either of them?

    Just reading the afl site and mentioned Sam Berry has put off contract talks with Adelaide until the end of the year. While no world beater he's a tough mid that loves to tackle and could be good depth or a handy player to use as a tagger since they're back in vogue. Should come relatively cheap.

    Just out of contract. Former pick 28, so doubt they will get much more than a 3rd rounder if he wants to leave.

    We gave Clarry and Trac 7 years, and Gus 5 and Gus retired not a year into the contract.

    That's the risk you have to take these days to keep or lure the best of the best without being done for salary cap cheating.

    Can we nominate some likely players 

    Return to Vic ??

    Players squeezed out of their teams best 22?

    Players who might need a fresh start? 

    Players seeking long term contract of 3+ years?

    Free agents? 

    I’d like to nominate Angus Sheldrick. He’s shown high quality ability but had injury concerns.  Still only 21.  Swans have stacked midfield and we could offer a bright future position.

    I don't get as much intel as I once did but the last thing I heard is that Petty is keen to get back to Adelaide.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
