Love this. Well done Kolt.

I think next up is Judd McVee on a 10 to 15 year contract extension please. Thanks Tim.

Tim Lamb haters close your thread 

3 young guns here for the long haul 


Bloody Tim Lamb, re-signing all our youngsters. What a disgrace.

The Mousepack is steadily signing up for roughly the remaining careers of Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, Viney, May, Lever, etc., etc. - I reckon recognising how valuable that will be to them, both in the moment and for their futures. And then, hopefully, they will become the group their successors want to sign on to continue to play with!

And, not beyond the realms of possibility, the remaining Melbourne careers of Goowin and the coaching team...

And that useless Simon Goodwin who players love to play under.

And Rivers and Kozzy, need them to be Demons for life

Both are signed until 2027, as they both extended last year.

I dare say it was a good move to re-sign Rivers before he explodes as a midfielder.

I love this kid - but....

Do we jump too quickly with some of the contracts based on a handful of games?

Yes, he's going okay (at best), but has done nothing to warrant a 4 year extension at this point. Why not hold for off 12 months? 

How's the ridiculous Laurie extension looking at the moment? 

Long contract but I like it. Building the nucleus of our next premiership side with these guys.

Exactly the same thing was said about Rivers, McVee and Roo when they originally extended. 
We obviously don’t think we will delist him in the next 4 years and believe it’s better to sign him now on less coin, than what he potentially might be worth in 2 years time. 
You always have the upper hand when a player is in contract when it comes to trading as well. 
It is a savvy list management move that allows us to assess our cap longer term as we try to lure bigger name players from other clubs. 

What has Laurie’s contract extension stopped us from doing? He isn’t taking up a significant chunk of cap, nor would we have delisted him by now.

Four, five if you count Jefferson: roo, kolt, disco, jeffo and Windsor.

This is exactly why I like to lean into known facts rather than the where there's smoke palaver.

Known fact #1

Mutiple players have recently  recommitted to the MFC.

Of the top of my head, that list includes: jeffo, roo  chin, Petty, Windsor, the kolt, AMW (I think) and disco - and I'm probably missing some.

Apply Occam's razor to the question of why so many players, particularly young guns who would def get picked up by other clubs, have decided their medium term future lies with dees.

What is the answer?

“ Lamby Had A Little Pack”

I’m rapt about this. This guy is going to be a gun ❤️💙


"Get 'em while they're concussed", that's what my mum always said.

But seriously, it takes effort not to get ahead of myself on this kid. We've got a deadly weapon in our hands here.

Will be a major part of our 2028 premiership.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
