    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...........

    Ch 9 news reporting Adelaide were into him. 

    Wonder how many other clubs had interests. Oh well crows, thanks for Lever though.

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

    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?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
