It would be nice to know what our cap space looks like moving forward.

Couple of retirements incoming.

Update for Luker Kentfield 1 year extension

Update for Oscar Berry joining us as a Category B rookie (Starting at end of this season) on a 2 year contract

Congratulations and Welcome Oscar!!

In 2021 in close games (margin 12 or fewer points) we were 4-2 and a draw. When the margin was 7-12 it was 3-1.

Since then for games 1-6 margin we're 6-12 and for games with a margin 7-12 we're 5-7 (and all games under 13 points we're 11-19)

This year in the 2 goal or fewer points margin games we're 2-5. If I'm not mistaken we lost our last 3 of these games in '24 so that's 2-8 since midJune last year! I am so f****** sick of the close losses!

(The new format is infuriating! Somehow I clicked on the wrong link....again)

I do hope Melk and TMac get offered another year. On the list I think there are 6 delistings from this year and only 3 draft picks. 3 off the list is the minimum and maybe we can get 3, 24-28 y.o. good players to join for next to nothing.

Just for accuracy... update for chaplin replacing goodwin

Thanks R&BF

iirc a 'R' FA is in the top 10% player payments. Not sure all those 'R' are so should they choose to go we can't match the offer. Of course rules may have changed.

btw, is Fritsch 31yo?

He's turning 29 in December.
Contract expires end of next season, so will be 30 in December 2026. Think that is what is meant to say.

Commentators for the Casey v Box Hill Hawks game made 2 references to Campbell having been given a 1 year extension........shheesh! surely we can find someone younger who won't play a senior game.

Tim ‘Oprah’ Lamb strikes again

I think offering a mature 'in case of emergency' ruck a cheap 1 year extension is relatively low on the list of issues at the Dees at the moment to be honest.

From what I can find RFA is top 25% of payments, although I think I had a couple wrong here and they should have been UFA Thanks :)

I have added players who are delisted Free agents as their own category, I think I have them all, but if anyone notices anyone incorrectly labeled, just let me know

Also yeah I had Fritsch one year too old.

can we keep this thread as an absolute bible and only update it on official MFC reports and not heresay and speculation? has been no word from MFC regarding a contract extension, the commentators hearing a rumour could just be coz they read demonland pre game to find out some words to sprout

Fair Call.

Un-updated Campbell again until conformation from MFC

HeraldSun reporting Jai Culley close to signing one-year extension. Not official yet.

Probably shows the club have now lost faith in Verrall of they're wanting to keep Campbell for another year.

Just been announced Jai Culley, Ricky Mentha and Andy Moniz-Wakefield have all signed on for 2026

Thanks Katrina very happy about re-signing those three.

Agree DZ, I’m bullish on AWM and especially Culley.

Haven’t seen much of Mentha as of yet but fingers crossed. Small nippy forward is a definite need.

A very good start to the Off Season IMO.
