You have to be pleased with Caleb Windsor signing,

Skillful, balanced, fast, accurate kick, does not panic.   Like tulip,  a reason to go and watch.

Great news.  He’s shown great pace and talent.
 

Dees need to get busy in this years draft and find more young talent.  There are more skilled pacy players to add to our squad.  

After what we went though 10-15 years ago with players wanting out, player retention under this regime has been exceptional. Windsor is a het, the goals he's kicked against Port, Essendon and Freo were sublime. Hard to think he's only in his first season, imagine him with a few preseasons under his belt. I'm imagining the running power of Langdon but with a bit more polish.

Kid has a bright future, well done Caleb.

In a year or 2 I can see him getting a run in the midfield. The midfield is currently a bit 'one paced' and he will offer outside run and skill. A bit like Sam Walsh perhaps?

He’ll be better.

Any time a top 5 player in the side commits is a good thing. Definitely an up and coming AA level player. Most definitely the best talent I have seen at the club in the 35 years I’ve been supporting us. 

Petty is a super important signing and can’t wait with another preseason and confidence in his body watching lots of people eat their words whatever end of the ground we play him at.

I cant wait to see the footballer Windsor evolves into by 2028 and would not surprise if by then a re-rank of the 2023 draft  shows him on top. 

According to the 3 schoolboy type media pundints on the midweek tackle Ed Langdon is set to sign a new contract which will be announced very soon.

Great vote of confidence in the club, goody and the direction we're going.

What odds Harley Reid signs a four year extension at the Eagles?

Top work Tom Lamb. 

Who’s Tom Lamb?

Tim Lamb's twin, they take it in turns as list manager.

Not sure. Tim's brother?

Call me crazy, but it's hard not to watch Windsor go about it and think at some stage he will captain the club. Has a Robbie Flower level ceiling as a player in my opinion.

Got him signed up very early. He would have been on a 3 year contact already as top 10 pick. Great news. 
 

Has been a great pick up. A perfect draft pick really- filled a need for us, has been able to have an instant impact and has potential to be one of the best players in the league. 
Well done to all involved. 

After all the doom and gloom I was rapt to open up Demonland this morning to hear this fantastic news. The future looks bright ❤️💙

Great news, one of the better stories of '24. Future AA. High ceiling. Speed, endurance, great skills and lightning quick decision making and not affraid to win a hardball or tackle. Love what this kid brings to the team already, going to be a star 🌟 ! Well done MFC!

Great news about Windsor. Props to the club, I've been pretty impressed with the ability to sign-up the majority of our players in that under 23ish~ bracket. 

Fingers crossed we get an extension on Tholstrup's contract announced soon too. 

Brilliant news! Windsor is one of the best talents we've had come through in many years. He's filled a gap for us immediately with his speed and outside running both ways. His kicking can be inconsistent when he rushes at times, but with more experience his composure will keep growing and he'll become even more damaging.

Long term he's got scope to be a gun midfielder. He's already shown great defensive effort and ability to win his own ball. With Gus retiring, Trac and Clarry entering the later years of their careers, Viney within years of retirement, we need our next wave of mids as depth and then to take over. Windsor will be the next star mid to take up the reigns. JT has nailed another one here.
