Well done Tracca & club. I expected a longer term in the offing. This gives us all flexibility for the longer term. 1 1 Quote

In Harmes Way 7,871 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 This news plus the team performance/fitness base prompted me to stump up the FY20 membership for be and the boy. There’s so much the club is doing well now. 4 1 Quote
Sir Why You Little 37,474 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Excellent. He performs this year & then we lock him into a long deal. 4 Quote

Lil_red_fire_engine 11,387 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 This is how its done. Sign now and get on with becoming the player you are destined to be. 5 Quote
Docs Demons 1,810 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Great news and could well be a domino effect with others coming up to the end of existing contracts. It seems that these young fellas are in it together which is terrific for the club and of course us old suffering supporters. 3 Quote
nosoupforme 3,085 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 I love the fact that Petrac signed before the season because of the hype that he will have on him when tearing sides to shreds. He had a semi breakout season in the second half of the season in 2019 and this year he will crank it up. We locked him in which is fantastic and for now l can sleep easy. 8 1 Quote

Maybe he's gone that way again - via 'suicide-by-cop' to avoid the temptation of returning? 2 1 1 Quote
Mazer Rackham 14,972 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Doesn't this guy know how to play AFL football? The way it's done is, you say you're leaving contract negotiations til the end of the season, then get seen touring GWS or Brisbane facilities. Amateur. 2 6 1 Quote

Rodney (Balls) Grinter 11,064 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 I think this is a great show of faith by Trac in the club, the rest of his teammates, that he is really invested in the club and taking it forward. You get the impression of Trac that he has significant ambitions and that after our 2019 it would be understandable for him to be looking around at better options. Putting off contract talks and if he subsequently left, it could have had a really destabilizing impact on the team at a critical time. Instead, he hasn't stuffed anyone around and has committed to the club before the season commences. Like chalk and cheese to that previous No.$1 draft pick we had. 7 Quote

He is finally starting to mature as a person and has committed to the cause to stand by his mates. Unlike some others in the past. Edited February 25, 2020 by nosoupforme 3 Quote
Wiseblood 24,637 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Great move by the club and by Trac. In this day and age, you can't blame either party for going for the 2 year deal. It allows Trac to hit free agency, while also giving the club flexibility. If we want him to sign on again then we need to continue to play finals footy and push for that ever elusive flag. I always love these signings though - nothing better than seeing one of your best players sign on and show massive faith in the club as a whole. With Gawn being installed as captain, it's been a positive few days for the club. 7 2 Quote
