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.

Don't tell me we have another poster who thinks he never loses an argument.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
