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?

Edited by binman

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.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
