What's his games trigger? All of them.
Morris got it wrong. It's not a trigger, it's just that he's got enough sick leave stored up to cover 2027
 
Collingwood will likely rip up Ned Long’s current cheap-as-chips deal to 2027 and reward him for his massive improvement at year’s end.
And the Pies will move forward on a new deal for plus-30 Jamie Elliott in coming weeks given his irrepressible form.

Long has been one of footy’s success stories as a delisted Hawks midfielder picked up in the mid-season draft.

But while the Pies love his development as a tough inside mid they are also aware of his status as an unrestricted free agent.

Former Hawk Long has had a spectacular season for the Pies, having been locked away for two more seasons to 2027 in March this year.

The club was aware of his excellent summer and strong support from coaches and got in early.

Long would have some performance-based incentives in his deal but clearly would be underpaid compared to output given his performances this year as a 22-year-old with a bright future.

Any player delisted across their career becomes an unrestricted free agent every time they come out of contract.

So it would make sense to pay him what he is worth across the next two years in a new deal brokered later this year and retain him long-term rather than bask in the cut-price contract.

Elliott will get a new deal, likely for multiple years, given his superb form in kicking 34.16 in 13 games.

Ideally the Pies would hold off with their plus 30s until the end of the year given so much can change but Collingwood is open to working on a new deal to ensure he stays.

But they know if they hold off on the unrestricted free agent a rival will swoop in, with the Pies also opening talks over a deal for future AFL games record holder Scott Pendlebury.
 
Love how article starts 'Pies will likely..' in other words, making it up.
Based on the fact he'd be a FA at the end of his contract. To stop him from leaving..

As if he'd ever leave.

"Entice him to stay?"lol

Obviously an extension will happen but what does everyone think he’s worth?
I think personally around 750k to 800k over 5 years is probably about right now.

In the scheme of things and pay rises to come that may very well be unders.
No, were not Carlton or St Kilda pissing our pants and signing everyone to massive deals. Couple hundred less than that id hope and Ned would want to repay the faith and leave some in the kitty for continued success hitting FA and trades. Lets try and follow the Geelong model rather than the shit clubs

We did extend him at the start of the year, but suppose its just about adding more $$ but could add an extra year or two, as it was just a 2 year extension until 2027 at this point.

Exactly.
Another piece of shit journalism from Ralph. Has he ever written anything decent?

It says the article is a combination of Ralphy, McFarlane and Josh Barnes. But the way it talks about "to keep" Long because of his FA status everytime he comes OOC, reeks of Ralphy for sure.

Any Richmond players OOC this year?
 
I don’t see what the carryon is with that article. I’m always up for clipping Ralph et al nonsense, but this one is a no brainer. His contract for 2027 will be based on triggers and it doesnt automatically roll so he’d be a FA next year if he so chooses. I didn’t agree with the timing of the Naicos extension this one though makes absolute sense given his career UFA status.
