    He is showing outstanding pre season form. Really hunted & attacked that new contract. Top news

    He will be worth much more as a dual premiership player by then

    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.

    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.

    Side note; does anybody know why Trac's twitter account has been suspended?

    https://twitter.com/cpetracca7

    An article floating around somewhere said he had previously deactivated it for a period to focus on footy. Maybe he's gone that way again - via 'suicide-by-cop' to avoid the temptation of returning?

    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.

    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.

    That sounds about right  Balls.  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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • 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?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
