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

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
