So he's signed until 2021 then? That'll be when he's in his prime as a player so here's hoping that we back in contention then.
It’s great for him.Leaves the door wide open for him. He'll be all of 25 years old ! Imagine the coin other clubs will be throwing his way
For some perspective on anyone worried by it being just 2 years, Patrick Cripps (who's just been named Carlton's captain) did exactly the same thing earlier this year.
It's not a cause for concern. This is good news.
I'd say this is the the strong advice every player would get from their management now.Get used to this. Players will always want to explore free agency. It doesn't mean he is even thinking about leaving, but they will want to negotiate contracts to give them this flexibility regardless.
If his hips are fine, and the drink plays him in the midfield, he’ll A) win a Brownlow and B) become the best player in the comp.
Second most talented bulldog I’ve ever seen, behind Chris Grant.
Got three years before it becomes a problem. Let’s all relax. We all think too much about these things sometimes, myself included. Our best player has just signed for effectively three years. Good times.I’m nervous too.
I'd say it's still Wood's team. He is a premiership captain after all. Bont is only 22 and can serve a worthwhile apprenticeship from Wood for a couple of more years I think. He has already captained the team at times, which is invaluable leadership experience.Time to be captain now. Co-captain at the very least. This is his team. His and Bevos. As a club, the board and managerment have to be accountable and prosperous and professional and help create the culture that Bont and those under him want to be part of.
Don't look in the list management thread....Stoked I wont have to listen to rumours about him leaving for a few years.
You have had the same thoughts as me (I posted them in the other thread ).Time to be captain now. Co-captain at the very least. This is his team. His and Bevos. As a club, the board and managerment have to be accountable and prosperous and professional and help create the culture that Bont and those under him want to be part of.
