    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.

    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?

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
