Premiership forward Gallops ahead to Ty up future with Lions

The Brisbane Lions have secured the future of yet another premiership player with young forward Ty Gallop signing a two-year contract extension.

Ty Galloping until the end of 29, with a fresh contract extension. All these extensions of late give me the feeling they are structuring money across the years to make way for a Bailey deal..

At least that’s what I’m hoping.

Big leap of faith giving a first year key forward a contract keeping him at the club for another 5 years. Well deserved

Another of the gun kids locked away - man I love this club.

Alternative view is they’re not prioritising Bailey over any other player and getting the deals done. It would be sending the wrong message if they held back signing other players while waiting for Bailey to commit.

I just feel it’s easier to spread money across the years when you have most of your list already signed up. You know exactly how much in each year you can play with.

It certainly gives the club stability. Players being out of contract in their final year is disruptive to their own form and can be disruptive to the team. Even if a player ends up requesting a trade, the noise about a trade request only seems to come up at year end.

When Bailey does resign it will be for reasons other than money. A few 100,000 here or there won't compete with the war chests on offer if money is the goal. Better to extend one we rate on smaller coin now than come into an auction at the bottom list. Love Bailey he was super entertaining in the GF, but we would have won without him.

We may not have got there without him though.
The club will offer what they can, and it will then be up to Bailey.

I don't blame any player leaving to secure their financial future. It's a job after all.
He has two premierships and with a bit of luck the Lions may get another.

Bailey was quintessential to us getting a top 4 finals berth. Replacing Kai as a killer small forward and then replacing Choc in the midfield.

Getting as many players signed past Tassie entering the competition, and being able to sign any out of contract player as an unrestricted free agent.
