i'm ok with it, you'd assume it's not a premium value contract and he'll be a steady squad player/training senior pro at worst.
Cottrell very underrated re-signing, love it

He might be more highly regarded within the club than outside. He seemed to be playing on Daniel Rioli a fair bit last week who can hurt you but didn't hurt us. Defensive half forward flanker is a position that , even if you do your job well, there are not a lot of external kudos.
IMO easily the best goal celebrator in the team.
Good observation. Reckon he'll man Sheezel for the North game?

Might not have been enough to keep him though
If there were offers from other clubs fair enough - but in normal circumstances- itās a two year deal for mine.

Maybe. Sheezel is a good accumulator but doesn't have a lot of hurt factor yet (which may be down to his team as much as him).

Pretty comfortable that our team management list are on the ball. At worst Cotts is in our best 25 for the next three years. I'd imagine that he's not breaking the bank. Why not reward a heart and soul player with some security. Might even end up playing better football as a result.

In fairness if we have a strong squad the hurt is minimised. Say Tassie get 1,3,5,7,9,11 and some late first and second rounders to trade for existing players and have had a pre draft squad for a couple of years. then;
18th team gets 2 instead of 1
17th team gets 4 instead of 2
16th team gets 6 instead of 3
15th team gets 8 instead of 4
14th team gets 10 instead of 5
13th team gets 12 instead of 6
the rest go back 6.
Say we finish 3rd that year we would get 22 instead of 16. That hurts a lot less than being on your way down and desperately needing a gun to bolster your team. One of the reasons that Geelong & Hawthorn stayed stronger for longer was the GWS & Suns drafts diluted the talent to teams like us that desperately needed it. Imagine if the Tigers had pick 6 in the 2009 draft instead of 3 and ended up with Gary Rowan instead of Dusty.

This. It also sends a strong message to everyone on the list - no matter where you were drafted, you can be a long term player for us if you work as hard as Cotters.

I did like his Hammertime effort when Charlie wanted to celebrate his goal. He backs away....."you can't touch this".......
I really like Cotts, a great clubman.
But I wouldn't have expected a 3 year contract extension for a 'developing' player.
You need your blue collared players in the team, especially ones that play with passion. Cotters also possesses fitness, pace, intensity and a great work ethic. During training imagine how much he forces some of the guys to push themselves harder during running trials and runs so as not to be so far behind the pack.
24 currently so we have him till he's 28, so we've locked him in during his prime, and I would suspect at a price that is fair. Good list management.

debatable
Professional, durable and hard-running player who still hasnāt reached his ceiling.
If heās been dislodged from the side in 3 years, weāre doing bloody well. At absolute worst heās either high quality depth or a valuable (as a contracted player) trade asset.
Still has 130-odd games of AFL in him.

Good on him, but very similar to Pitto.
You'd have to know the contract details, considering we are forced to move on goodish players due to list management rules.
As Coona Blues reminds us.

Itās also possible they get excess picks to trade in senior players, the AFL wonāt want a team of kids with potential struggling at the bottom.
Clubs that trade with Tassie will be well compensated, hopefully.
