News Karl Amon signs a three year deal to stay at Port

[El Zorro]

Amon has gone from this board's whipping boy to a big signing from one season to the next. This could mean one of 3 things:

1. we at BF are a mature bunch of people and are happy to change our minds when justified.
2. Amon had an enormous turn around in form.
3. We have lowered the bar so low than even average players seem like superstars in our squad.

I think the answer is some combination of all 3.

Young Victorian kid turns his back on more cash to go home and you want to be a debbie downer. He had a career best year and deserves a good contract

So did lobbe and Aaron young by that logic

I think when the Prospectus is released by Champion Data, people will be surprised by how Karl's season is rated. He'll be close to elite by the numbers and that includes round 2 when he was injured in the first few minutes.

Typical of this board at the moment.

He requests a trade - "Ken can't handle indigenous players", "The club stinks", etc

He stays - "Questionable move, form was possibly a once off", "The bar is low if this is considered a win", etc

Spare me.

Looks like Warren Tredrea knew signing was going to happen ..

A year ago I was hoping Port would let him go. Now I'm glad he's signed a 3 year extension. A remarkable turn-around in such a short space of time.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Great result, much happier keeping him. We don't have many players with his skillset

 

[Dylan8]

Happier to keep him than I am to lose him.

Amon has gone from this board's weeping boy to a big signing from one season to the next.

Is that your Spanish accent?

 

[Forzaport]

Huge turnaround and well earned extension. The club has done its part, up to Amon now to deliver the goods.

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

three years is ok

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

Well done Amon. Glad that you are staying. You had a cracking year. Does Ken get any credit for that???

No. Schoey does.

Ditto Ladhams.

Yep, the negative s**t some people post on this board has become pathetic.

Karl showed a lot of skill as a junior but was a bit soft. Some kids take a while to adjust to AFL. Hopefully he now has the confidence to fulfil his potential

Anyone would be a bit soft as a junior, with the problems he has as a child ..

Great news we rarely lose player's we want to keep . Improved so much in 1 yr if he can improve again will be a serious player for us.
People whinging about the 3 yr deal well are you guys ever happy far out.

Spot on him just making the AFL is a huge achievement . Is a remarkable story an inspiration to young kids doing it tough.
