Player Watch Darcy Fogarty - Re-Signed to End of 2031

[Eddie Murphy]

Arguably a year too long but he’s set and forget as our 2nd key forward for the next 5 years at least.

Plenty of teams need a good key forward and not many are on the market - good to lock him away early before teams start throwing stupid money at him.

 

[1990crow]

Time to produce a big season.

 

[Crow till I die]

Happy with this. It signals we see him as a key pillar in that forward line for years to come and we are starting to see what he can do now he has moved to CHF. With Fog and Thilthorpe now locked in for the longer term and Welsh coming in with it all there for him if he really wants it, our forward half is looking stable and full of attacking potential.

And it's pissed off Kane Cornes the long contract hater*

He would have had a few clubs fighting to sign him as a FA. I was genuinely worried Brisbane would make him an offer to fill the spot left by Daniher, and it would have been good for both Darcy and Brisbane.

Very unlikely he would have entertained Port, but he is the perfect player they need as well.

Definitely agree, Port should have been offering a monster deal to Fogarty over Luko and see if he was interested given their forward line issues?

Lets also not forget that Connor Rozee signed an epic 8-year contract, taking him to 2032 as a 32 year old before taking a massive step back this year and crapping himself in the finals.

Yeah, Brisbane were a worry and would have been very enticing no doubt. re Port, the one they would bite your arm off for is Thilthorpe - they have nothing like him they can play forward and he would be a monster for them....but he won't and he never will

To be fair, he's not a fan of the Luko deal either.

Not saying Fog is like this but I worry there is a kind of player who needs to be on the edge to play well. The whole "you can't be fired" thing doesn't exactly churn out world beaters in the public service.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

He wasn't going anywhere, but it still feels relieving to lock away our #1 priority for OOC players next year. No doubt someone like Brisbane would have come knocking.

Murray next.

 

[DJ75]

Happy to see he's locked in, but from a wider club perspective, why so long? It's not like he was a big risk of leaving.
I can inly assume it was to help us smooth his overall payments out over a longer period.

 

[SLOWNE]

To be fair, I'd give JHF a 10 year contract if it would get him over here. Exactly what we've been missing since Danger left.

I’m happy with this - seen the growth in his last two years

His next 150 games will be elite

He would be getting monster FA offers next year, need to reward that loyalty by providing the extra security given this would absolutely be on less money than other clubs could offer.

 

[Southerntakeover]

The extension takes him to a decade after Jeff told us his inside sources at the club had assured him that he was being delisted at the end of the season

[cmndstab]

Very good signing. Takes him away from free agency considerations, and locks him into our side for years, while still only taking him to 31 years old. This isn't a contract taking him into his mid-30s. And he doesn't strike me as the kind of player who will slacken off now that he's got a long contract.

Thilthorpe and Fogarty are essentially locked in as two key forwards for the rest of the decade. Now we can focus on the areas of the ground where we are weak.

 

[GreyCrow]

Not a fan of long contracts but ehh - we can plan structures now

Did he get the Luko money?

Sydney also. They are due to buy another key forward from somewhere.

Enjoy Rory Atkins, Kane.

Probably Peatling got his $600K and Cumming got the remaining $150K added to his initial offer.

 

[AFC979810]

Happy with the signing. Gotta lock these best 22 players away.

Need a big season in 2025 where he really puts his stamp on the league...

But do have to remember - he kicked as many goals as Stringer and Will Hayward

during 2024.

Think he can be a very good #2 forward and hopefully TT gives him that opportunity.

 

[baaaallllll]

Touch wood he doesn't do a knee or something that like that. It's a risk with the long term contracts but also understand that is sometimes what it takes to get them over the line. Would have preferred 4 years with some KPI extension clauses.

He has definitely improved over the past few seasons and such a nice kick for goal. Can only see him getting better over the next few years.
