Happy for Jack, likely a year too long but that's the industry currently. I just really hope we don't waste top picks on trades for guys like Houston. We need to keep taking the best available youth or players no older than 25-26.

Oh no. There might be a year at the end of the contract of one of our best players ever where he doesn’t play much.

Really happy with this news and loved the touch of the letter.

Actually not that many to he honest. I tend just to skip posts by posters who grind my gears or burn my bacon.

I just checked. 28 in total. But I've posting on demonland for a long time.

Mainly 'characters' that are long gone (mostly banned) -  eg lord nev, tonatopia (the first poster i ignored), curry and beer, matsuo basho, dee-luded (not to be confused with deeeluded, stuie (lord nev's intense first incarnation), osilik and uncle fester.

And a small handful of current posters.

i'm sure MFC have put contingencies in JV and MG's contracts for their final season or two.  It would clearly be irresponsible to not, given Jack's body and Max being one proper knee injury away from retirement.

Payments based off actual games played per season, allowing for early retirement, front loading and adapting into a coaching role etc are all in play for these two.

The negativity around here from some is just depressing.

I am confident Max will still be a top liner in three years but less confident in Jack will be in four. Would love to be proven wrong.

The part we don’t know is what they’ll be earning in the final years of their contracts. They both would have cleaned up already so it could be quite low.

I remember Matsuo Basho 😂.

I think Lord Nev might be back binman. There’s a new poster with a very similar style.

I doubt it.

But if true, good on him. 

I'm fairly sure

I heard a few comments from someone who'd know on how his last deal progressed in final days... Some similarities here, external interest in media, then an announcement 

I agree, good on him, know your worth and strike while the iron is hot

Can you imagine the panicked fire fighting at MFC last few days... I'd be surprised if there wasn't a good news premium.

Eat a bag Deloitte.

So it seems Jack's yeah-nah which launched 1000 posts on Sunday was probably a case of having already signed, but then remembering the press release wouldn't be announced until early in the week following the captain's.

No way Jack managed to write a 400-word missive in under three days.

I would have been able to tell you, but since becoming a God, I've lost all user access for binners. Sorry about that.

Huh?

Boomer was 76 and had played 873 games when he finished. That's not early.

He was still in his peak as a player and I’m talking about a leader of the club. Leadership, hero worship and loyalty play part in culture. It’s not just about pure playing ability.

I’m a bit confused 🫤 

You say he’s a favourite and great player - you admit you know none of the details of the contract extension but somehow conclude it’s a bad list management decision 

Bizarre to say the least 

You can have a favourite player and also think long term for the club. 

I don't know the details of payments. But I don't think Jack will be in the seniors in his final years of the contract and think it's a mistake giving them to him this far out.

He plays his best as an inside midfielder and he isn't able to play another position.

I didn't think Buddy would play out his 9 year contract at the Swans and was wrong about that and hope I'm not correct here.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
