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.

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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
