He is so good, at least loses the moniker as the worst no 1 pick

Bit of a slog of a game for Paddy - not too many intercepts, and our game plan actively robbed him of opportunities to play interceptor by forcing a man-on-man game.
Nevertheless, head was up all night and he won the key contests he needed to win. Was clutch at times, even if he wasn't as involved as usual. Great to see him stick it out even when things weren't naturally going his way. Absolutely vital quality in a good defender.

Stoked with Paddy.
This is a 100% classic Bloods success story and what we are all about.

What should we / will we be offering Paddy?
How much is he worth a year and how many years should his contract be?
Thoughts?

I'd very strongly suggest we remunerate him well but keep him on very short term contracts.

2 year deal 400k a year with games played kickers
Pending an offseason medical assessment which gives him the all-clear, I'd be comfortable with 3 years at $450K-ish?
There's still some risk, and while he's a very good interceptor he's not playing tall shut down roles at all yet. Something that gives him a bit of certainty, but which doesn't break the bank for us if it all goes wrong or he remains a floating interceptor that doesn't play super tall.

TBH I have no idea what players are paid these days.
According to Foxsports* 24yo KPP Griffin Logue has been offered $500k (initial offer supposedly ~$250k) to stay at Freo, whilst 27yo winger Karl Amon has reportedly been offered a four year $650k pa deal by Hawthorn.
I've no doubt that Paddy wants to stay at Sydney and I'm sure he has goodwill towards Sydney after we offered him the opportunity back into football, but other clubs will have been impressed by his performances this year so we will essentially have to pay him market value or close to it.
The club may favour a shorter term deal, given Paddy's concussion history, but would other clubs be prepared to take a chance on a longer contract? Particularly as some clubs eg Hawthorn/NM seem to have plenty of spare cash and of course as Paddy was previously delisted by St Kilda, he is a free agent, so no trade currency required.
So in my usual roundabout, long-winded way basically I have no idea what Paddy is worth in dollar terms, but I will say he has been an integral part of our team this year and I would be loath to lose him.

yes, indeed! he's been just about the key piece in the puzzle this season ... we really needed that big defender, and we got one who's also a really smart footballer with the skills of a no1 draft pick ...
he's one of the big differences, the improvements on last year's very promising team
but the bonus has been his pairing with his brother
i think tom is headed to being a genuine star central defender, and has really stood up this year, despite copping a few beatings
he's about to turn 23, he's got years of strengthening and development in him
having tom with paddy has made the team better in more ways than just their individual talents
they both seem to love being at the swans together and i really hope they're kept together at the club for years, they can and have to be a key part of our potential premierships these next few years at least

Great to see da bros together for at least two more years.
Terrific outcome for the two of them, who obviously love playing together (and pretty good outcome for the Swans as well)

When it rains it pours. Is that 6 re-signings in the last 2 weeks?

Holy s**t they really have found that missing pen, great news to have both him and his brother locked in for the foreseeable future

Love how well Paddy has turned out. Glad to see he's been rewarded, a 2yr contract feels about right

All these re-signings mean we've freed up some cash somewhere I reckon...

It was a great pickup when Dennis Denuto was hired as he cleared tray 3, three times, and the contracts started printing immediately.
