I think that given he spent so much time away from football that he is likely to have a little more longevity than most players due to the lack of wear and tear on his body. Hoping for the same from Thor as well.

Yeah I think so too. I was going to say about 5 years at least.
Just going from strength to strength.
Imagine how good he would be if he didnt waste those years playing cricket.
I just hope his body can stand up, if it does he is gonna be a great long term.player.

Yes, not a bad draft year that one. Milera, Doedee, Greenwood and Keath.
Makes up for what was ultimately some poor trading, although Seedsman for pick 32 was a good choice. Just a shame about Menzel, Hampton, Gore, etc...
Just his 18th career game right? 91% disposal efficiency from 21 touches and 14 marks, reads the play and intercepts like Rance.
Will be interesting to see how good this guy becomes because his ceiling is insane. 198cm athletic super quick key position player that reads the play brilliantly.
Gold Coast knew he was choosing to play cricket yet they still pre listed him with the 10 top under 17s in the country, he was that good.

Keath is a very poor 1 on 1 defender, and now we’ve released him in a role that plays to his strengths he looks an absolute star this year
Great coaching, and all credit to Alex (not the fake dead one) for really grasping the nettle
A guy of his size and mobility, able to read the flight and mark in intercept is a bloody hard match up

He's actually pretty good 1:1 when the ball is in the air. Can stick one hand out and hold his opponent off. Struggles a bit when it's on the ground given his size and turning circle. But he's not Jenkins bad by any means.
Couldn't disagree more with him being a poor 1 on 1 defender.
Think he has done quiet well in that regard a lot of times.
Moot point really, as he wouldn't be on our list right now if he didn't waste those years playing cricket.

Imagine if Keath is AA this year. And Doedee next year (possible).
We would then have 5 players in our back 6 who would have been AA at some point..
XXX ~ Talia ~ Doedee
Laird ~ Keath ~ Smith

He's become my favourite player now. So dependable.
The board has a bad case of collective myopia, every time a player has bad form or a bad game they need to be shot, traded or dropped forever and are the worst player to strap on boots.

Is our best defender so I am sure the club see his resigning as a priority. We have the cap space with Jacobs, Douglas, Otten retirements end of year so I don't really see him going anywhere. I think he can play for another 4 to 5 years so I would offer him the 4 years. He should have been playing over Hartigan 18 months ago so if he feels we have mismanaged him it could have some bearing on his contract negotiations.

Get it done now. Less chance other clubs push up his value if we try and low ball him. Just pay him what he is worth to our team. Need to get Jones extended now as well.

Said 18 months ago he should be playing and was better than Hartigan. What do I know though. Did have some injuries but along with Doedee both should have 40 games up by now. This is part of the reason players leave our club due to match committee not willing to utilise our list. The problem is that it generally takes 10 games at least to see what a player can do. We generally only find that out when there is a long term injury to an incumbent. Surely coaches can see who is better during preseason training. I believe contract size has a lot to do with how our 22 is picked. We must always play our best 22 not only to give us the best chance of winning but also so that we don't lose best 22 players who are frustrated at not getting opportunity.

No knock on Keath who I’ve always rated and is having a great year, but is it just coincidence that everyone we play as an intercept has great years - think Lever, Doedee, Brent Reilly, and for other clubs Sicily and even Jason Cloke have looked like champions in this role. Sure you need certain skills especially anticipation but if I had to choose between having to stand an opponent or running free in the backline to make the intercept I know which one I’d pick. With all that, all power to him.
