2 year extensions. Standard for highly rated kids in the middle of their 1st contract.

Yes, just prudent list management. Don't want to get to the situation where a young player is out of contract at the end of next season, has a great season and we have to pay overs to keep him. Sort of what happened with Mason Wood

Get the cheaper signings out of the way asap before you have to work out the big $$$ like LDU.

While it’s not uncommon like you mention, for a list in a state of flux, signing up two kids, who weren’t first rounders and haven’t put their names up in lights seems unnecessary. Not saying these guys won’t make it (not at all), but just don’t see the urgency to do this.

I am aware that it’s an extension btw.

Our list is no longer in a state of flux. We’ve only got a handfull left to move on. These kids are rated. They’ll be seen a a big part of the list stabilisation over the next 3-4 years.

Been a fan of mahony since his first game, very happy about this

unfortunately a standard contract was overs for wood.

They've positioned them "oddly close" to each other in that pic....NTTAWWT

Jack is Crafty. You have to give him that. :stern look

 

[Arthur Cloke]

I spoke to Troy Luff last week and he reckons that he just can't get over how "crafty" Mahoney is. Just quietly, I think we've hit the jackpot with this pocket dynamite.

Why? Because he plays for NM? If he played for Geelong, would you have been a fan of his?

Especially when both seem to have a stiffy.

Troy or Glenn Luff?

 

[muttley45]

Well done Jack, showed quite a few glimpses for a very young, small recruit, my last memory of him was going when it was his turn, popping his shoulder in the process, and returning to the game after some treatment, a big for him, and 3 for the presiding medical "experts".

 

[Kangaroo Cat]

Why? Because he plays for NM? If he played for Geelong, would you have been a fan of his?

Why would i be a fan of any geelong player who wasnt Higgins? Im a north supporter. You are aware of that right?

Still fine-tuning the supplements program...stern look.

 

[Snake_Baker]

He'll break the curse.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Rewatched this guy's junior highlights. Jack has incredible vision, agility and he's quicker than he looked this year. He isn't fast but he's not comically slow like he appeared to be in his AFL appearances. I think if he had played less and was able to develop in the VFL he would be much more highly rated on here.

I seemed to me that fatigue played a big part in slowing him down on the field. A couple of pre-seasons will strengthen his legs and we'll see what he can do with the footy out in open space.

I am now.

Bumped into Jack at the Flemington Craft Market last week. Ripping fella. Signed my Gray-Nicolls Dyna Drive for me. We spoke for a good 10-15 minutes. He gave me a few share tips which I have loaded right up on. I could see he loves a chat but I had other stuff to do.

In terms of his pace, I think it might be a case of where he had enough speed in junior footy, but when he got to the AFL, what was quick in junior footy was probably the baseline of what he was playing against, especially when you consider that half-back is probably where some of the quickest players for each team are.

Very natural footballer though. The big question, obviously, is whether his natural football traits can develop to a point where they totally compensate for his physical limitations, which are always going to be there.
