spirit of norm smith

Players managers and the game of player movement chess. Suggest the threat of leaving has pushed the Saints to up the offer by $100,000 per year and to add an extra year to the contract term. I’m thinking he stays at the Saints but stranger things happen all the time in the AFL, especially during trade period.

Agreed. Wanted a bit more commitment to 2026 but I guess it’s hard to judge these things. I know Max talked about loyalty and being a one club player. Maybe a subtle message.

Dees list management announcements

Trent Rivers - EQUAL 10TH Thought he’d go higher Definitely a player we want to keep Was rated as above average in most categories as a rebounding half back.

Let’s sign up NATHAN BUCKLEY ASAP Let him sign up his support team and get set for 2026 Buckley will command respect and will have a drive to succeed He will bring the edge back to the Dees

Max Gawn Legend Champion 3 x winner MFC best and fairest What a leader!!!

2nd place. Great year 👏👏 No surprise he was runners up Came back to get back on the field and showed he is a star player. Had a few nearly games which perhaps was reflected in our year … Hope next year he nails more goals, backs himself and brings his very best

Kozzzzy💙❤️💙❤️ 3 rd place All Australian 2025! Love ya Kozzzy

4th Bowsa 👏👏 Had a great year Definitely stood up and his skill was again on show

Please someone check in on James McDonald.

Robbo currently entertaining the crowd. He’s a natural !!! Love him and hopefully they build a statue of him at the MFC CAULFIELD IMPERIAL Function centre.

Congratulations to Harvey Langford, crowned our Harold Ball Memorial Trophy winner for 2025.

They are RUBBISH. Constant bloopers and spelling of our players names is a constant problem. Our MFC communications team is seriously a group of year 11 students who must have been given work experience rather than getting expelled. @binman sorry my rant is over !!

Clint as the MC … he’s a regular !! Good man

Please take your seats !!!

Max Gawn. Legend. Your B&F Crown awaits

Timing is [censored] with the B&F on tonight Why not wait a few days and have the exits on Thursday Why the rush … we don’t have a coach !! In terms of the “who”, the 5 delistings are not really surprising. Actually surprised that Henderson and Billings are also not listed. Spargo and Woey jnr may have to be awaiting the new coach to be appointed.

Campbell signed up for 2026!!! Surely that’s made it less likely than we would grab Heath Heath would most likely stay at St Kilda if Marshall goes

I feel like Windhager’s manager is putting it out in the public forum that he’s willing to walk. Saints offered a pathetic 2 years, then 3 years and now 4 years at around $700k a year. He’s more likely to stay at the Saints than go but if the Dees are offering 5 years then we’d have to be a chance.

Message to Alan Richardson and to Tim Lamb Get Mcvee signed up !! Rivers is a Demon for life. Tell Freo to “focker” off!!

Bonner is an EXCELLENT VFL player but not up to AFL standards any more. Happy to see him work for the MFC and the development role.

Primary delists: Spargo, Billings, Fullarton, Woewodin Rookie delists: Hore, Verrall, Brown, Henderson Hanging on by a (contractual) whisker: McAdam I can’t believe that we have a contract offer to Spargo.

afl.com.auThe Demons star who has taken a father and daughter on an...Troy and Harper Buntine's chance meeting with Tayla Harris has built an amazing bond through footballI think this is why the AFLW is growing in popularity and support. The players ability to connect with the public and especially young girls will hopefully see it rise and rise in the future And our Tayla Harris continues to show that she is a star on and off the field.

Sestan needs a huge 2026 pre season. He probably gets one more year.

Max Gawn 2025 👏👏👏 Deserved ALL AUSTRALIAN KOZZZZY 2025 👏👏👏 Deserved ALL AUSTRALIAN Harvey Langford 2025 👏👏👏 He’s a RISING STAR in our eyes Plenty of other good stories like the return of Trac and Clarry, as well as good form by Melksham , Bowsa, Turner and Fritsch. Unfortunately the many many many close losses means it was a HORRIBLE year.
