Trac is a raw excitement machine, he could be our most marketable player, not to mention game breaker, great news! 

 

I'd like to thank St Kilda not just for passing on Trac in favour of McCartin, but for passing on Angus Brayshaw too.  

Our dynamic draft duo will be a joy to watch this season and beyond.

That’s a bit of a myth. 

Oh, and I suppose next you’re going to tell us that the tanks equipped with 12 reverse gears was a myth as well?!

oops! Just saw Demonlands post above and find no delete button... feel more than welcome to delete.

But I am delighted at Trac’s re-signing as he is going to be a very important cog in our premiership machine.

How much is the foetus membership? 

Full price.

It was actually a pretty funny conversation. I had to convince the lady in the sales department that it was okay, that I’d act as his proxy etc, much as I would if he had already been born but was only, say, one week old.

She wasn’t convinced until I said, ‘look, the club needs the numbers’, to which she responded, ‘too right, can’t say I’ve seen this before, but okay’.

It was during the Neeld years. The club hadn’t had a new member in a couple of years.

 

it's going to be interesting to see where he fits into the side by the end of 2020

a permanent midfielder? a dusty-a-like who can switch btw mid and forward? a primary forward with occasional stints in the middle?

just how good can he become - clearly he's a fairly exciting talent, but at the moment he only finished 7th in the b&f last year despite being now widely lauded by the stats boffins as a 'elite' for his position - remains to be seen

but definitely one of the most exciting talents at the dees seen since, well, since jesse hogan joined the club

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.

 

Petracca has more powerful arms. 

 

Just as long as him and Ollie don't run (hurtle) into each other.......

My two are well on the way to costing me 100K each.

Oh, you meant football.

Probably less $wise, but emotionally...


Safe to say we have a very special player on our hands here.

In a era where so many top line players are "putting contracts talks on hold till the end of the year" - Christian has no issue professing his love for our club & cutting the bs. The kid could've easily followed the growing trend of players who have declaimed these lines above, but he balked at it & now wants to stay at the club that drafted him - & he has consistantly said for life! How good is that? :)

A real reminder of the good old times where lotalty in footy was king.

This is exactly what this club needed. Players around christian will follow suite & im just so confident now that we will manage to retain all of our top end talents.

Well done to all involved. MELBOURNE, this is getting real!

??

It's not just the footy field angle that this contract extension benefits. Petracca is the sort of player who brings along a new generation of dees  supporters and builds a group of exciting young stars at the club. Just watch the re- signings and contract extension that flow from this. That is the platform that builds a fantastic successful future for the club.

Well that's what we all hope !

lol

they've just paid a fortune to moore, de goey, and grundy and have a host of other players like taylor adams coming up that they'll need to pony up for and still gift treloar $300k a year

tony shaw remains a complete and utter moron

We also paid a fortune to Gus and TMac, have Gawn, Lever and May on decent coin, and Oliver to re-sign this year...

Collingwood aren't dumb operators. They're the biggest team in the league, if anyone thinks they were just 'dumb' last year then I don't think they understand that club. I would be wary.

pure spin from a former filth player and coach to keep the filth at the forefront of imagination

tony shaw has as much idea as you or i with regards to petracca's contract intentions

Mate, former players are always the best sources of club goss, and Collingwood being into Petracca isn't a new bit of news, the rumour has been around since 2019 or so.

Not saying Trac is gone, not guaranteeing the Pies will go hard after him, but write this stuff off at your own peril.

Collingwood have their plans set on someone. It’s going to be very hard to pry Oliver or Petracca out of the Dees if we go deep this year. Premiership favourites rarely lose top end talent

What a hideous scenario 

i would have real trouble seeing Tracc play over there. 
 

Like Clarry, if we are just going to get raided every 2-3 years, there is no point having anything to do with AFL. 

Line in the sand time Demons. 
 

Win games or die

Yep, there's no way a club like Collingwood just messed things up for no reason last year. They're up to something.

TMac will be out of contract end of 22, probably Gus too if both are still with us. Jetta and Jones gone this year possibly with Melksham, Hibberd and others. We will have salary cap room. Don’t think that will be the problem, even if Clarry gets a pay rise. Luckily both players seem to love their team mates, the coach and the club. Hopefully both re sign with us and have lots of success as Dees in the next few years.

It is the filth not Shaw you have to worry about.

More just pointing out this talk of Collingwood's cap being far tighter than ours is quite likely not very accurate.

Not sure how you're tearing up Melksham's contract early? And wouldn't think any of Jones, Jetta and Hibberd are on huge contracts that will gift us massive salary cap space. Hard to know for sure though.

Obviously hope both Clarry and Trac stay, but just think it's a bit naive for people to instantly write this off.

You over estimate Collingwood. You don't lose Stepho, Treloar & Phillips for effectively nothing unless you bring in a big fish that same year.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
