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?

    Up to $1.4 million a year; I’d like to hear Kane Cornes thoughts.

    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.

    Kane will be filthy about that. Especially the 9 years. He'd have a different tune if he signed for that with Port though.

    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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
