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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
