Congratulations on the literal sh!ttest take of the season. 

Agree 1000%. Contract is nost likely on less $$$$ to enable the club to go after free agents.

    Absolutely bizarre extension. 

    Leadership is going year by year when you’re 32, not asking for a 3 year deal.

    Zero faith in the Melbourne list management team. 

    Very shallow! Incapable of seeing the larger game that is in play!

    Jimmy would be very proud and great news.

    But we still need to find a Robin to support him.

    *sigh* there’s always one. Even in a thread that can’t possibly be  considered bad in any way, there’s always that one person.

    You know there are so many other ways to get the attention you so obviously crave.

    The larger game is a 36 year old with 1000 injuries collecting a pay cheque like Ben Brown was this year.

    It’s ok to just be patient with veterans and sign them when required.

    If the club needed a sugar hit of a Gawn extension we are in big trouble.

    Like join the happy clappers in the cheer squad and all clap along with each other?

    My opinion is my opinion. There’s no need to have Gawn signed for 3 years.

    So tell me the details of the contract extension?

    Maybe he's taking a huge pay cut?

    Nothing to do with the pun. I'm just OCD with the thread titles for Re-Signings.

    You’re OCD with thread titles? Why, I’ve never noticed.

    Unrelated: have you gotten over that time I put a rogue comma in a training thread title? Or six months isn’t long enough?

    Are you seriously ok? 


    Gawn with 1000 injuries (1000, really?) is the best goddamn ruckman in this game, by a very large margin too. He is currently ranked better than in any other year of his career. 
    He’s also a brilliant leader. 

    What the [censored] sort of idiotic take is this? You don’t think this man can contribute to our club for another 3 years? Both on field and off the field? Would he not be an amazing mentor to all the young guys coming thru, especially in the ruck? 

    [censored] go away!

    The most influential Demon of my lifetime and pretty close to the best ever player - probably only Flower ahead of him.  The greatest ruckman of this century and the best since Simon Madden.  And still playing at an elite level. A tremendous leader as well.  Thanks for the show of faith Max!

    Well done Gawny, and well done Georgie boy you are a gem ❤️💙

    100%. The man is a legend and arguably the greatest ruckman in the game ever. That’s right, EVER. He will don his 7th AA jacket this year.

    Just wish CP5 - Mr Petracca would like several of the recent mfc (GC game) and Gawny’s post - he’s obviously keeping a wide berth on the socials lately for unknown reasons. Unlike him really for someone who has been continually active on his insta.

    He’s played injured in finals the last 2 years and there’d be doubts on him carrying this injury through real pressure games this year if needed. 

    His so called brilliant leadership doesn’t sound so crash at the moment either.

    I expect he can play at least 2 more and every chance of 3, but unless there’s a huge discount in his 2025 wage I can’t see the upside here.

    And time will tell but so far it’s hard to see where the cash will be required.

    Gawn’s now got his. So Viney wants his too, when Jack might not up to the level in 26/27.

    Maybe this is good, but I don’t see the amazing optimism to cheer for this like the rest of you lemmings.

    He liked a post that Viney made earlier today. 
    But let’s not make this yet another thread about Petracca.

    Can I suggest that you go barrack for St Kilda? I reckon it’ll suit you.

    Exactly. But kudos the the club. The period is sensible for both parties.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
