    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.

    Or even shrewder by the club.

    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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
