Its not a woman, it's Dean Ambrose/Jon Moxley

Brilliant news! Trac is a star and will still get even better as our team improves.

There’s real loyalty at our club and it’s started at the top, Jonesy and Gawny have led the way, Viney, Salem and Trac have followed. It’s great for club stability now and our future, something great is building!!!!

Not to mention Lever restructuring his contract to allow the club to manage the cap a little better. There's real buy-in from the players which is a huge component of trying to achieve success.

The money Roos got from us was well spent. I shudder to think where we would be if he hadn’t come across. 
Maybe you don’t remember 2012-13 so well. 
never forget the Foundations when rebuilding 

May the Curse be lifted….

Yep...we.would not be where we are now without Roosy coming in.  He built the base line into the culture.....Effort, Defence and winning or at least evening up the contested ball.

Sure, he was only there for the contract/dollars but he instilled the above while there and the rest of the pieces are now being put in place.

I had no idea Burgoyne was "interested" in us back in 2009 ish.

He probably made the right call in fairness to head to Glenferrie.

 

I believe he met with us, and proceeded to say thanks, but no thanks.
And yes, he DEFINITELY made the right move. He would have been looking elsewhere (and with less currency) after 3 years of the clown show we had become.

No idea who those guys are.  That it is a man is still a disturbing image.  

No more comment from me - don't want to derail a great thread.

Amazing deal, glad he’s a demon for life. Personally I was never in any doubt as his enthusiasm for his teammates isn’t something you can fake, he genuinely loves playing for us. When he kicks a goal I swear I see in his eyes the kid he was before he got drafted saying “I’ve got the best job in the world”. 

Looking forward to more Trac highlights!

How nice is it that players are now staying instead of heading elsewhere. 

Look 7 years is risky and over the next few years I do not want to hear it being bought up like Grundy is copping now. Hopefully we have some success.

But credit to Christian the last 2 years he has finally worked out what he has to do to become that elite player. 

Now clubs can back off and sucked in, he is a demon for life.

A super-talented Demon shaping as a legend for the Club, like Robbie. Does the heart good. 

CP strikes me as a rapidly maturing, well balanced guy from a strong family, Can play a bit too. He will succeed Gawn as captain. We had a pretty good (Swiss) Italian captain a while back, by the way.

If the money is to be believed in the papers: 6mil over 7 years.  ~900K per year. that is not bad.  

In 3-4 years we will be thinking he is getting paid well below his market value as the salaries and TV deals increase over time post covid

Just FYI LH the MAN he is spanking is Dean Ambrose aka Jon Moxley

 

 

A cheeky little dig at Robbo in the 360 interview. 

 

 8 years !! At the Dees...the poor bloke....you get less for murder !

 

Just sharing because why not.

(Maybe another smart cookie can put this in properly)
His first and second goal in footy love the strut on the second!

Watched his interview on AFL360. Very impressed.

A far cry from the joker and pest of his early days. 

 Captain material.  Wouldn't be surprised if he succeeds Max.

I've been thinking about this a bit lately. It's Petracca or Lever for mine. The more dominant and team orientated Petracca has become, the more he's come into captain calculations for me. 

Lewis also floated it on 360 last night.
