Fantastic! Brings him into FA, very shrewd business by his manager. 


Sen just said truck has extended his contract for 2 yrs to 2022 

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.

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.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
