    I think he'll play plenty more than 300. He is an absolute professional in how he clearly looks after his body around his training and recovery.

    He's also talented enough as a player to spend more and more time up forward where he'll still provide an impact for the team and reduce his midfield minutes as he ages.

    Putting aside some emotive thoughts we all might have during his challenging period with the club and his recovery from a horrific injury, the bloke has been an incredible footballer and go down as a Demons great if he finishes his career with us.

    If I was able to get there Sunday I'd be cheering him with every possession and will always reflect with great love in his 2021 GF efforts.

    Congratulations Trac

    Absolute champ both as a player and teammate.

    Will play to 300 no doubt and hope he is BOG on Sunday.

    Trac a Demon great and plenty left in his career.

    Thanks for your 200 Trac and all the best in your cooking exploits also.

    💙❤️🏆

    Knock on wood here, but we've had a good recent record when our boys have played their 200th.

    T Mac - win over St Kilda in 2022 at the G

    Gawn - win over Hawthorn in late 2023 at the G

    Viney - close win over Port during the "business trip" of 2024.

    T Mac and Clarry are scheduled to play their 250th and 200th on the same night against Carlton (or maybe the game before or after??)

    Salem will play his 200th during week 1 of the finals 😀

    Based on what- the decent crowds we've had this year?

    We get enough ill informed rubbish from the media about crowd size without fans feeding misinformation too.

    I was pretty disappointed with the way Christian handled himself towards the end of last year.

    But credit where it’s due, he’s put his head down, bum up, gone to work and re-invested in his footy club.

    Congratulations on the milestone Melbourne’s only Norm Smith medallist, may there be plenty left to come 👏

    I've been watching the Dees for almost 6 decades now, and Petracca rates inside the top 10 I have seen. He has a quality that few demonstrate - match winning ability. He can turn his power game on for a quarter, or a half and sometimes an entire game, and totally dominate stoppages and clearances.

    I think it was in one of the 2021 finals games, or maybe our round 23 win and the Cats, where he said he was proud to help Dees fans find pride and joy in the jumper and colours again. He had me lock, stock and barrel after that.

    Most importantly, a real good human being. Warm personality, big smile, big heart.

    It is a pure privilege to welcome him to the MFC 200 games club.

    200 for tracca. I must be effin old !

    It has been said he is getting back to his best , really hope this is true. I personally did not see his possessions last weekend.

    But I do look towards the younger guys.

    31 possessions was it. Well I hope his mate CO13 and JV7 stand tall and also have a blinder. If we win this one, Then look out, finish in top 8 . Anything is possible.

    Can we do it, Yes we can, go for it Tracca

    We've been lucky to have him in this period..a true professional and someone who wears his heart on his sleeve. Who will ever forget THAT goal in the GF and I can still his face directly after.

    We love you Trac...shine on champion. Lets get a win for him in his 200th

    Watched him play for VIC Metro vs WA at Leederville Oval in his draft year and loved what I saw, as he moved up to the pointy end towards the draft I was sure the Saints, would take him, so glad we got and still have him.

    Congratulations Trac

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
