    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.

    great stuff, here's to three premierships, a brownlow one year and a norm smith the next, and then one of each to top it off!

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
