Nothing but good news this.

2 years without speculation. By the end of this contract he could be looking at a huge payday if his form continues its upward trend. If we are winning flags by then, i cant see him leaving unless he gets a godfather offer from someone else.

This season is shaping up as the making of this club.

He did what the club asked him to do.  The club has done what he asked them to do.  The results, so far, look scarily good.

It must be a pretty beautiful feeling for all involved right now.

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.

Agree.

Runs against last year's the club is in crisis narrative a bunch of posters were running hard with last year.

Trac resigning also runs contrary to the palaver about him being unhappy at the club and its direction.

Beware the agendas I reckon.


Way to go !!

really pleased,

Go Dees 2020

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?  

That would be a mature idea,  and focused if true.

Wasn't there someone on here saying that he was on the verge of leaving? From memory, there was talk of some type of heated meeting between the FD and Tracc's manager.

2 years is very good.   If he continues to improve his attitude and fitness,  showing this year,  then try to extend/improve the contract, before the end of this season.

That was early to middle of last year, IIrC.?

Maybe before a change of heart, and then mind.  =  improved form 2nd half of season. 

 

Maybe he and the club had a chat mid year, after all the talk of his 'Hit and Miss'  form.   And lacking fitness base.


Awesome news! His next contract come free agency is gonna be a huge one for him. Hopefully we can keep him and the rest of the young core in Oliver, Lever, Brayshaw etc all together.

He'll have to wait until Rnd 11, at the 'G',   to pass on his respects.

Great to see but, hhhmmmm am I the only one who thinks this is a little light on the years for the club? This is walking him to free agency (FA) where he can chase bigger $ and we could lose him for no return. (I’ve said it before but having fallen into an Ice Hockey/NHL hole, players regularly push to FA very hard to chase $$ and term on contracts). (Here comes the “he loves the club and being around the boys, I’ve asked him, he wants to be a one club player” responses)

I think it's a,  "show us your form",  if you want us to "show you the big Bucks",  Christian.

Well he’s got to put in three cracking seasons if he wants to cash in big with FA. Hopefully we will have a couple of flags by then with his input. He has put the pressure on himself to perform by taking this deal.

I love it!  Forget about mid-season media speculation and distractions about where he will be  in 2021.  The sole focus is on football in 2020.  Great stuff Tracc.  No denying it, the stars are starting to align for the MFC!

That got done really quickly.  I would take that as a sign that he never even considered going elsewhere.  I would also guess that the club put a pretty good offer on the table right from the start.

No, it was near the very  end of the season. Which negates the rest of your curious supposition.

It’s a signing of faith on both parts in my opinion.

I’m presuming (of course) the club know what he is capable of yet aren’t willing to offer a long term contract on huge money - and rightly so. 

His management also know what he is capable of yet know he hasn’t lived up to that potential as yet...but this signing takes him to free agency.

It’s no doubt fair on both parties, leads him into a potential long term, big bucks deal at Melbourne provided he performs...or else allows him to explore his options after 2022 if it doesn’t all work out..

I don't know what your talking of,  but i read,  and saw an unhappy player pre-midseason.

 

Of course the club would have had discussions around end of season,  if not end of season player reviews.

Early season Tracca was poor, improving near-on midseason,  and improved further, in an out of form team.

 

I'd suggest to you they would have had a couple of conversations,  thru the season.  Influencing his form.

If he's worth it he'll get the big $$ offer from us. He's with us for the next 3 seasons at least, that's good enough for me

If he plays like he did Saturday for the next 3 years and we're not pushing for a flag he has every right to exercise his free agency rights.

Except that he actually seems to have been suspended by Twitter, which based on Drumph's ongoing efforts must take the bigliest immaturity in history for that to ever occur.

Although, after scanning the site's guidelines, the suspension of Christian's account may have been due to his Dusty impression on the weekend. Among the Twitter rules:

"Impersonation: You may not impersonate individuals, groups, or organizations in a manner that is intended to or does mislead, or confuse others." The Crows seem pretty confused.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
