Long contracts are becoming the norm.

Here is a list of the longest contracts currently in the AFL

2033: Hayden Young

2032: Connor Idun (?!), Sam Taylor, Connor Rozee, Noah Balta (?!!!!), Max King, Aaron Naughton

2031: Darcy Fogarty, Cam Rayner, Hugh McCluggage, Jacob Waitering, Brent Daniels, Nick Blakey

2030: Isaac Cumming, Harry McKay, Dan Houston, Harry Perryman, Josh Daicos, Andrew McGrath, Brennan Cox, Josh Treacy, Sean Darcy, Mac Andrew (who has a 4 year extension triggers), Josh Battle, Clarry, Harry Sheezel, Jack Lukosius

Additionally 42 other players have 4 more years remaining on their current deals, some of which were 6+ years long.

I can count on one hand, the players listed above who I would trade for Kosi.

If we landed Houston, he'd be tied to us for a minimum of 5 years on a reported $850k a year, and he's 28. Did anyone bat an eyelid at that?

    If you think this deal is big, just imagine what Harley Reid is going to get, having shown literally nothing except what a petulant unprofessional child he is.

    Geelong is already mowing the lawns on his 9 acre farm, and Cotton On has a headband range in the works.

    The saints are absolutely not a serious club if their offer for NWM isn’t as big or bigger than this. Losing him would be a bigger loss for the. Than kozzie would have been for us.

    If this gets done a lot of the credit should go the club of course, but especially to Goodwin.

    From Kozzie’s POV, you don’t make that sort of a commitment to someone you don’t believe in.

    Sure, but they also have to come up with a huge offer for De Konig.

    Waiting for that post which takes a bit more time to load when compared to others - as Andy has embedded the announcement link - is both excruciating but also exciting at the same time.

    I've heard that Cotton On is working on a new XXL range of Harley Reid undies and Ts.

    As an outlier, does the team you barrack for have any stars on big coin?

    I am an outlier in the discussion not an interloper on the forum.Of course I am a Dee. My reservations are not principally about the money even though this is clearly not a "i could have got more more money elsewhere but stayed for less because i love the place " type deal. My concern is that Kos now has all the security and we have all the risk including the continuing flight risk.

    If he continues on his current trajectory he will be worth every penny of this new contract, my only concern outside some unforeseen injury is that it might hamstring the club in getting other players in particularly with Trac and Oliver already on big long term deals to, this would basically lock us out of getting any other million dollar players ie a key fwd if one was gettable.

    I'm surprised anyone would pay the Perryman for this length of time.

    Exactly. And if the club were thinking the way Kane does we’d be a true basket case!

    $12.5 mil over 7 years is big. Doesn't matter which way you slice it.

    Think it's a great move by the club but not without risk.

    Why arent you working on the announcement post yet? Are you part of the MFC's marketing and communications strategy? The DL channel reaches a huge % of MFC supporters :)

    He’d cream his shorts if Port managed to convince Butters to sign on for 9 years.

    If you’re making any life decision based on Kane Cornes’ opinion, you should immediately seek professional help.

    I've seen some of the media personnel try to paint a picture on our salary cap, with the figures for all our players constantly changing.

    For example, in this article it states that "right now, Clayton Oliver’s on $1.7m through to 2030, Christian Petracca really similar."

    https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-trade-news-rumours-2025-melbourne-demons-offer-kysaiah-pickett-sevenyear-contract-extension-ross-lyon-comments-on-nasiah-wanganeenmilera-future-latest-news/news-story/25d2f4f23776b176f533875d820806f3

    While the articles when both of these players signed are completely different, with them both estimating that they signed for $1m a year or less.

    Clarry: https://www.afl.com.au/news/789697/demon-for-life-clayton-oliver-signs-massive-contract-extension

    Trac: https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-news-2021-christian-petracca-contract-melbourne-free-agent-new-deal-net-worth-how-much-money/news-story/916d148703bf5e714f4db9911e2666aa

    Really goes to show how the media has no idea how much the players are being paid and how the contracts are structured; they're just pulling numbers out of thin air.

    IMO the AFL need to set maximum contract length, at 5 years. Save clubs from themselves, and benefits the AFL with more player movement.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
