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.

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

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

Rusty,  I know it is meant in jest but I have a problem with that image.  A man spanking a defenceless woman isn't funny to me.

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

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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
