Kade Simpson didn’t get a kick in his first 2 games
Finals are completely academic at this stage.
I agree covfevely!It'd be idiotic to drop a deubutaunt after one game espeviespe after a game we won.
I'm curious if we only offered him one year, or if he asked for one year. I feel like we nearly always offer two years unless it's something dicey and we're not sure if they'll make the grade. We even gave Morgan 2 years and he spent most of his time at Essendon rehabbing injuries so...Good for him, Could've given him 2 and not many would complain, Well done mate well deserved.
A 19 year old pick 63 who has played 1 game doesnt have that amount of bargaining power i would have thought.I'm curious if we only offered him one year, or if he asked for one year.

Yeah I feel like maybe he asked for one year. Not sure what the thinking behind that would be except that it avoids the Langford situation. Club has to keep him happy if they want him to recontract again?
Ridley was recontracted for two years without playing a single game, and very few at VFL level either. I feel like the club almost automatically gives two years to 19 year old national draftees. A contract ending in 2019 is a surprising lack of confidence in the kid really, unless he's asked for it.A 19 year old pick 63 who has played 1 game doesnt have that amount of bargaining power i would have thought.
I imagine both parties arent too sure how next year will pan out for clarke in terms of development/game time. My guess is that it was 1 year as agreed by both.
If Clarke plays well next year he gets a nice bump in his next contract. Also if essendon dont play him he has a chance to move.
For essendon, it means that they can see how next year pans out. If he plays well they get first right of reply but if he bombs then they can give him another 1 year at minimum-ish money or cut him.
