    Huge signing. Unlike the past 10 years, our young talent is all extended and sticking fat for the journey. Great to see!

    Keep working hard Trac and you’ll enjoy success in red and blue with your mates!

    I love the use of the plural in premierships. Arrogance and talent can be an exciting mix.

     

    Pledging his loyalty to Melbourne, Petracca expressed how important it was for him to remain a one-club player.

    “It means everything. The club put faith in me as an 18-year-old kid and drafted me, and all I want to do is repay that faith,” he said.

    “That’s by winning premierships and staying at the club for as long as I can."

    A couple of typos in there but l think we get the gist of your point. 

    First hand, l can confirm ltalians once trusted, are one of the most giving and loyal cultures around. 

    Once betrayed, stay well away! 

    Love what CP5 has done, to return the club's faith in him. 

    MFC is slowly building and binding a very high class list for the years ahead.

    Wonder, and if ever Mr Connors has tried to incorporate the word loyalty back into one of his contracts.

    See, once Trac said the word "loyalty" it was all over...........

    They wanted him last trade period as part of the Lever deal.

    That’s a bit of a myth.

    Purple made that up on radio, he ask  Mark Ricciuto, if it was true that Melbourne offered 2 first rounders and trac for lever, mark said where do I sign. Purple just makes thing up a bit like a  scattergun rumour maker.

    Great news. Obviously would have liked a slightly longer deal but this is the way it is. Gonna be well placed for a bumper deal come 2020.

    I’ve never heard that one, and it just sounds outright ridiculous.

    Adelaide’s list manager inquired into Petracca as part of the Lever trade. I heard Justin Reid state this on trade radio. He said Melbourne and Petracca’s manager swiftly declined.

    St Kilda stuffed up SO badly with their first pick. This guy was a no brainer.

    You can build a list around him.

    Apparently he was thought to be a bit immature, yet all I see is limitless enthusiasm, loyalty and an unbridled team focus.

    I absolutely love this kid. I’m pumped about this extension.

    Super pumped!

    Fantastic news. It'll send a huge message through the talented young group we have.

    Just as an aside do you notice that CP5 jnr's neck is thicker that big bucks. Just wait until he grows into the Truck.

    How this for timing - I literally just opened my four year old son’s new membership pack.

    On the front of his membership card, it has a photo of Petracca. He’s Henry’s favourite player - Henry thinks he’s a real life T-Rex.

    On the back of his membership card, it says ‘Consecutive years of membership: 6’.

    I signed Henry up as a 20 week old foetus - exact full name and accurate (future) date of birth. Pretty confident he’s the youngest official member in the history of the club.

    He’s already waiting for his signed birthday card from the red and blue T-Rex.

    I’m relieved he’s committed to this club.

    That last line probably covers the feeling of 40 000 others RB

    Another positive step forward for the club.  We all know what a fantastic player Trac is, but he is also a terrific person and just the sort of personality you need at the club.  

    It's more great news for the MFC and I can't wait to see him tearing it up through the middle this season and beyond!

    Interesting

    I assume he got a raise for 2018 and then a good amount for 2019 and 2020.

    Must have meant that they had some salary cap movement left for this season which is no surprise given the renewals we are facing at end of season.

    Well executed by the club and would love to see one or two others signed in the next few months.

    How much is the foetus membership?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
