    That was truly open and honest interview, and it says a great deal about Tracc himself! He said that he wears his heart on his sleeve, and he sure does!

    Very nice description @Deeoldfart . Trac has been truly open and honest since his very first media interviews at the Dees. In those early days, older players were surprised with how well he articulated feelings within the club and where the club was at in a way that that was open and honest yet respected the club itself.

    Surprisingly, the lads get next to no media training. There are some aspects of AFL as an industry that are brilliant - I mean, what a great game - and there are other aspects that are cringe worthy amateur hour. Still, nothing's perfect, especially me.

    Back on Trac, his openness and honesty reflects a man who has been raised by a family filled with authentic Italian family love.

    For those who remain somewhat disgruntled with Trac for the media circus and conjecture following the Kings birthday game last year, just for a moment put yourself in Trac's shoes. He was informed he could have died. Then, he may not be able to play footy again. The recovery process was traumatic. For someone who aspired (aspires?) to be like Dusty and become the best in the AFL...how would any of us cope coherently...

    For this, Trac should have our compassion, nothing less.

    Celebrate a champion at the G this Sunday.

    Coincidentally Petracca's 150th game was against the Swans. Which game you ask? The qualifying final in 2022 when he fractured his leg and we found out that back to back wasn't likely to happen anymore.

    Time for pay back. Thankfully this Swans side has half the talent of that side that beat us that night.

    I’m doing my bit.. coming up from Ballarat for my 3rd games this year.

    Bringing the wife (who hates football) 2 kids (who hate football) and my wife’s best friend from Sydney who has never seen football… should be a good day.

    Best thing about birthdays is people have to say yes….

    Happy birthday, SPC! Here’s to a win for you while surrounded by folks who hate footy!!! 😅 Have a great day, regardless x

    Congratulations to Trac, our champion Norm Smith medallist and premiership legend, hope to see him play at least another 100 in the red and blue

    So yeah, this ginormous Tracc graphic came to us in four sections (as do all milestone graphics of this size) and the sections have white borders which need to be trimmed off. I trimmed one section then slid it off to the side to make enough room to lay out the next section and this is what happened…

    Yeah his 150th was funnily enough also against Sydney in the 2022 week 1 final.

    The 100th game was that yuck 2020 Cairns game V Freo.

    50th was a 2018 thumping from the Pies on Queens birthday.

    Was there, with 30-something 'kids' (front row, Punt Rd left fwd flank) Got a TV screenshot of very excited us behind Fritta's goal celebration - things looked so rosy at that stage of the game.

    We're looking forward to tomorrow for catharsis. The nicest of DeesTracctions!

    When I shared a little of a convo I had with Tracc last year a certain poster replied, “Guaranteed that conversation never happened.”

    More recently I quoted Clarrie (verbatim) and was reported for posting the “most appalling post” ever seen on Demonland (according to a different poster).

    So now, apart from conversations about haircuts or moustaches or favourite songs etc. I don’t share anything.

    Anyways, on a much happier note, this is a “thumbnail” of the graphic on Sunday’s banner…

    It’s gonna look incredible from the stands.

    I don’t have a pic of the other side of the banner but it’s a giant graphic of Kozzie’s dad’s beautiful design.

    At first glance, his guernsey in the central action pic was indeterminately coloured and looked to be sporting a map of Tassie!

    Did everyone miss this from his presser?

    His milestone game record is zero and three.

    Uh-oh...

    So, break that for him, boys! He'll certainly be doing his bit!

    And so it came to pass.

    Both by himself and by the group.

    Phew!

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
