You’re welcome to DM me but Demonland has asked time and time again not to name certain people in public. 

I have nothing to apologize for. He is a great player and I’m glad he’s staying. Just because I don’t like how he’s gone about it doesn’t mean I don’t want him sticking around and helping us get better and back into contention. 

You just responsed to me yet again! Aren't I a DH that has only been here 5 months that you can't be bothered wasting time on? Make up your mind pal. You want me to DM you. Really? I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.You have no sources and you run to hide behind the Demonland rules to so as not to be exposed.

Relieved that he signed but just to play devil's advocate; the letter commits to the Dees for 2025. Does not mention the 5 years at all. The club better get it's [censored] in order otherwise the Carlton's and Collingwood will be more prepared and bring more to the table next year.

This is undoubtedly good news

It's news that gives a good vibe... we're all happy happy.

We need to understand this is a case of square pegs/ round holes making the best of an awkward situation.  Do I dare say Trac's been cooking...reached into the pantry and realised he's a little short of recipe requirements !! 

This IS good news....for now. 

Let's get on with things. Let's play footy.

Is this over ?? I doubt it. It's over for now.

Yay

Go Dees

5 year contracts are a real sobering thing…

 

In all seriousness - some on here will not like it - but we have to have a talk about the captaincy for 2025.

I am not saying there isn’t work to be done but I have been saying for 3 years now that CP5 is the next captain. I want to hold to it.

He is not captaincy material. Jake Lever will be the next skipper. We need a dad figure

Agree. But Pies first-rounder could be not much better than 18 - 20, and even with two years of future firsts hard to see how that gets done.

But the other variables are:

- Trac getting back to his very best after the injury from hell. Not so sure.

- He'll be going on 30 at the end of next season. Not the kind of age where you can build a team around him for 5 years. When Judd moved to Carlton he'd just turned 25.

- That contract. Long and expensive for someone getting into the later stage of his career.

Yeah - just like that useless Sidebottom and Dangerfield. Fancy building a team around them to push towards a flag.

Would've preferred he left after crying like a baby in public for 2 weeks and dragging our club through the mud to appease his own agenda.

I have absolutely no doubt he's been advised he can't get to C & C so he has to stay with us.

 

If the Pies had 2 top 10 picks to give us,he'd be there in a Heartbeat!!!

You clearly have no idea about club, internal mateship and culture.

You need to be a leader who others will respect to be captain. 

Maybe he is that tho. 

I think most of the arguments people will come at me with are also arguments against retaining him.

Perhaps. 

Whatever the case, I think Max has run his race.

As for a trade not being able to get done. I don’t think that was the case.

Jeremy Cameron went to Geelong for picks 15, 18 & 25.

Dangerfield went to Geelong for picks 9, 28 & Dean Gore.

If Trac still wanted to be traded I think a deal would of gotten done, we wouldn’t of liked it but it would of got done.

Does this mean Trac will be doing the Ringwood RSL talk?

The length some people will go to to get out of going to Ringwood. Am I right? I'll see myself out. Apologies to anyone from Ringwood. Never been there. Probably a lovely place.

I honestly would have had no qualms with Trac if he left with how the club handled his injuries, but stoked he is sticking around.  

Solid trolling mate. Joined 2 hours ago and trying to get people wound up again subtly. 

well played

As someone from Canberra-proper, yes I am serious. 

I will admit that this urge is more anti-Gawn than pro-CP5 but if he puts the work in he has to be considered, otherwise he isn’t worth keeping around.

Losing Kozzie would hurt more than Trac

Time to move on...... I know it's quick and you need to process but he helped win us a Flag and he may of just forced the club to make some overdue changes. I also know many on here, including myself, took a few swipes at him but footy remains a game where supporters expect their players to remain steadfastly loyal. That is unless a trade suits us, which this one didn't. Either way I'm back on the Tracc wagon for now, I think you should jump aboard

    Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5 The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
