So one year extension.
Well it's a start. Want him for a lot longer.

Good to hear, though he's never going anywhere. He's been clear he wants to be a Crow for life.

I imagine this was the point of the new contract. Nice pay increase and possibly a lump sum per year rather than simply receiving a base and match payments.

The 1st & 2nd years of the deal are set in stone by the AFL. We cannot pay him any more than what it mandated.
The 3rd year is free to whatever discussions. But gives the kid more certainty. Knows whatever happens in Year 2, he's already got a Year 3.

Also takes him to the end of the current players EA. Will get a hefty pay rise if current improvement rates continue.

I love him, has taken Dangers place in my love triangle of Tex, B Crouch and Jakey boy!!
If that's the case, not a bad idea for the club to sign him up for another year now, rather wait another 12 months whilst his market value sky rockets!
Smart move to re- sign only until his 3rd season. He will be demanding a huge contract from 2018. Gun.

Is there also a rule that a first year player can't be extended more than one year? I thought that was brought in a few years ago.

I'm glad you mentioned that!
Just to give you some perspective - the media release only came through about 1 minute ago. It's not always 'ahead of the curve'.
Great news. I'm on record as really wanting Nakia. I still do.
But I can say I'm thrilled we have Jake - he was a great risk/reward decision and its paying off. One aspect I really love is that from his boxing background he knows how to take a hit and manage his body. Really important for him whilst he's underweight... can't wait til he's at an ideal playing size. Will really do some damage.

Lever, Laird and Talia are the sort of players you put in the backline and leave them there for ten years.
We're in good hands down back if those three stick around.

I saw him give Vickery a bit of lip the other night. Must have been about boxing.
HA - I remember that exchange. Was wondering if they might shape upI saw him give Vickery a bit of lip the other night. Must have been about boxing.

This is massive news for the club. Forget Dangerfield for a second and just think what a gun this bloke has already become and will be for this club.
We took a risk and huge opportunity to land him at last years draft and it it now starting to pay dividends. Can see this guy being better than Talia at the one on one contests and he's already got Tal's covered in the attacking sideof things

Lever I feel will stick to us for good, we took a risk with a guy who didn't play U18, and he wants to show up those who didn't believe in him, repaying us at the same time for our belief. Laird was given a shot on the rookie list, and has paid us back in spades, he ain't going anywhere. Talia is the ultimate professional team man. I can't see him leaving either.

Hopefully that loyalty stays strong when Collingwood or Hawthorn come calling with an inflated contract in a few years.

This. At the moment he's playing a 3rd tall role simply due to his lack of bulk. I think he'll be able to become a CHB once he has a couple more pre-seasons and fills out more.
Long term you would have Talia as a lock-down FB that he's well suited to, Lever as a creative CHB, Brown as a lock-down small defender, Laird as a loose defender, reading the play and dropping in to fill holes and Jaensch as the elite kick from defence.
