What?

To go on top of his current contract, another 5 years would take him through to 2027 (where he would be turning 32 prior to the 2028 season).

5 years would be more than sufficient. As i doubt he'd be looking to start at another club at 32 years old and after 13 years with the Dees.

    I don't know why people are concerned about length.

    The only time you should be concerned about length is when your putting a contract to a player who is 28+.

    Trac is 25? 7 years, sure why not. Covers his peak years and makes him the face of Melbourne.

    My thoughts exactly. That is why I take no notice of such posts as I regard them as BS

    Goodvibes should be Court-martialled and given 13 days in the Cooler, hey Dry

    Exactly. If 31 year old Trac is battered and bruised and just limping through in his last couple of seasons, so what? It’ll still be money well spent.

    I’d love to see him sign a long deal. Not because I’m worried about him leaving, because honestly why would he? Just because I love the willingness to commit. Hope this turns out to be true.

    We have to offer Trac what ever he wants. Players of his ilk don’t grow on trees and we may not ever draft a player of his talent again.

    However we must be of the understanding that we probably won’t be able to land a huge free agent in the next while and may see some our unsung players like an ANB seek a pay day elsewhere.

    Lever, May, Gawn and BBB surely aren’t playing out of the goodness of their heart. And Oliver will be seeking $900K a year when he reaches free agency.

    We need to re-sign Trac on big money and absolutely win a flag within 3 years.

    Just saw the news on Seven. Trac wants to stay beyond 2022. Melbourne have to do the deal. Collingwood crying.

    The 7 years is correct, however, the $900k per season is well off.

    Thanks for your support dazzledavey36, as you know from past history, when I post a breaking story it is 100% factual.

    Amazing!

    Well I think we can say with certainty that the players love Goody.  Every single one of our stars has re-signed.

    Is it at way under 900k or (as I suspect) way over?

    can you provide more clarity beyond a vague post assuming people saw the story?

    I don't think I am revealing too much by telling you it is significantly more than $900 per year.

    Over. 1.1-1.2 million I suspect.

    7 years is too long for any player IMO. So much can happen in that time. He’ll be 33 when that contract ends. 

    Good to see the clubs doing everything in its power to keep him though. All our stars are signing on. It’s a big shift from earlier in the decade where they would leave en masse!

    I'm not a fan of long deals either but there are exceptions to every rule. Trac is a generational player so i can live with it.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
