    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
