Great to have Trac on board for the ride

Says to me there is some real belief amongst this group of young guns 

Hope they can achieve great things together - will be special for everyone

    Not sure why anyone is worried about the money. We’ve signed all the pillars, unless we get done for cap breach, don’t worry about it. 
     

    Jetta, Jones, Melksham, Hibbo, Tomald all on the way out. Kids like Kozzie and Jackson aren’t signing money deals until they’re at least 23. 
     

    It’s an odd realisation I know, but we seem to know what we’re doing

    Tom would be the only one on big coin in that group though.

    Not that I'm worried. I actually think these early contracts might position us well for a crack at a free agent.

    Hoping we were able to front load.

    Now being reported that the deal is worth well over $1mil per year as was reported by @goodwindees. Where did the narrative that he wanted to leave some $$$ for his team mates come from, because earning that much cash is not going to help retain your LG, Kozzies, Rivers and other emerging stars in a few years time.

    Unless there is some clever front/backloading being done here, i cant see how this was a team focused decision. 

    Dont get me wrong, i am wrapped he has signed for 7 and he is well worth what he is getting paid - just questioning the narrative. 

    Front loading a contract can sort that out. 
    Tracc is a generational player. He deserves Top Dollar ? 

    He is like RDB in the 1950’s

    I honestly cannot believe what is happening this year.

    If Trac had any doubts about our list, potential for success, coaching, facilities etc he would have only signed for 2 years. He is not signing just because we are 7-0.

    It gives me good confidence we can win a flag in the next 5 years. Trac is such a competitor, no way he stays somewhere if he doesn't seriously believe they can be successful

    I believe some of us (supporters) will have to be managed for Saturday night. Way too much excitement for this early in the week.

    Well done MFC and Trac!

    Tracc says in his interview on the MFC site that he has matured as a player and as a person.  So very true!  Not only a great player for us, but a great ambassador.

    True, and he's the kind of player that other footballers want to play with - teammates will re-sign for less or come from other clubs to play with him. Let's put in in perspective - he could go down as one of our greatest ever.

    Absolutely his playing style determination and talent are just like the great RDB

    Trac loves NBA and you see big name players moving all the time, so part of me was somewhat worried about his long term signature - but seeing him happy to be a 'one club player' fills me with joy. Onwards and Upwards Trac.

    And then you have that clown Lebron jumping from super team to super team. 

    He isn't fit to tie MJ's bootlaces.

    Is it possible that he waited a couple of weeks so it didn't crowd Jones' 300th celebrations?  Because that would be pure class.

    Just to add a little clarity.  I believe the 7 year deal does not include 2022 which he was already contracted for.

    They renegotiated next year and added 7 years on, so it is effectively a new 8 year deal starting 2022.

    takes him to the end of 2029 where he will be 33 and in the last two years theres a player/coach option

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
