Rankine next up. That would keep me up at night. Rankine is a ******* jet. Good luck Andy.

 

[naraku]

I don't like the 6 year deal option. It should be 3-4.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Suppose Tassie is forcing some of these longer deals

is out here getting 6 year extensions but we somehow have the arrogance to think our integral players will accept 1-4 year deals, and with Tasmania looming.

Come on, seriously.

 

[Vindicater]

No doubt in my mind that if we are offering 6 years there are other clubs doing the same.

 

[Rick Ross]

Trust the club.
We’ve restructured player management.
We’ve got our best guy doing contracts.

checks notes

Oh.

 

[Vindicater]

Six years is alot but will only take him to 31.

Heavily front load it and he is a bargain for the backend of the deal when we are contending.

 

[Yoda_]

Its pretty well known were one of the only clubs who do not include salary cap increases into contracts and instead seems to increase the years. This will be another standard Dodoro ploy at work. Pay less but for longer (ala Durham)

I don't mind this. We know what we are getting with Andy and as most have said, should be heavily front ended and free up space in years 4 - 5 - 6 when we (should be) contending.

 

[CBombers17]

If we ever land a Buddy Franklin at the club we'll sign them for 100 years

 

[Rick Ross]

If we ever land a Buddy Franklin at the club we'll sign them for 100 years

But he won’t get an auto increase when the salary cap increases.
So swings and roundabouts.

I think I must be losing my mind because I'm seeing 'Ess offering 6 year deal to McGrath' and a little voice in me is saying 'it's ok I trust that club know's what it's doing...'

Sad but true

it's all apart of brad's grand plan... trust the process

who is A-Mac going with ?

who is A-Mac going with ?

Looks like Rachele

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

I'm one of his biggest critics but he's been bloody fantastic tonight so far.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Was great again.

 

[carnthedons]

The kick to Goldstein was phenomenal

 

[Nicholas61]

Has his kicking improved?? Seems to be kicking some serious darts noticed it in the Saints match too that set up goals - didn't think his kicking was on this level before. I know he spent time working with Rath on kicking.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Better the last 2 games. Not sure about the 6 year deal but his best footy should be these next 6 years.

Hopefully he can keep improving.

 

[Old Campaigner]

I think his kicking looks better because there's blokes upfield presenting a target for him to aim at
