    He doesn’t take pleasure in the delay of the announcement. It’s not his call. His manager and the club “decide when to announce.”

    Maybe a few meetings with other clubs and then the obvious one is when the new coach is appointed

    I’m guessing the announcement will be made when the new coach is appointed. The new coach would be seen to be supported immediately by the re-signing. It’s a good look. Judd agrees with my guess, he’s also not sure about the reasons behind the delay.

    Months ago he said he’s sorry but he can’t tell me why there’s a delay. I thought he meant he knows why there’s a delay but he’d rather not share the reasons behind it. At the last captain’s run I told him I’m guessing the announcement will come shortly after the new coach announcement and he said that’s probably what will happen. That’s when I discovered he himself doesn’t really know why there’s a delay. His manager is the one who’d know.

    I’m still thinking they need to free up some salary cap to fit Judd’s new deal in.🥳😳

    Caaaryyst whoever is his manager this is a very poor look. Can he think for himself and just say yeah or no! This is turning into an unwanted distraction, appearing to be all about him!

    I'm not trying to railroad you with this, it's a genuine question. But is your understanding on this that he has signed and the announcement is being held back, or is he unsigned for some specific reason?

    Personally see the second option being concerning at this stage of the year.

    Months ago he told me he has signed already. Since then, whenever he mentions it he refers to the “announcement” which is why I’m so confident.

    Could they just tell DL, if we promise to keep it secret?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
