Geelong Cats forward Shaun Mannagh and developing tall Mitch Edwards have both signed contract extensions with the Club, keeping the pair at GMHBA Stadium until at least the end of 2026 and 2027 respectively.

After being selected with Pick 36 in the 2023 National Draft, Mannagh made his debut in Round 1 in 2024, going on to play 12 games in his first season in the Hoops, including every game from Round 17 through to the end of Geelong’s Finals campaign.

Would be interesting to know if Mannagh was only offered the 1 year or it was his choice to take a 1 year offer. May be backing himself in to be able to get a better deal year by year. Certainly worth a 2 or 3 year contract.
I'd say it's the latter, 200%. There is no chance we weren't trying to lock him down on a value deal for three years.

13 months ago it was announced we had signed Zach Guthrie on a one year extension through to 2025

Come August last year and we get the announcement he's signed for an additional 3yrs on to of that earlier extension


We could well see similar with Mannagh over the next 12 months - this extension gives him security beyond 2025 and the chance to really push for what would essentially be his one big payday opportunity with a really solid 3 or 4 year deal

As Mannagh turns 28 in August, he really doesn't have too many more opportunities for that and if it was a 2yr deal now, I could see it being just slightly more difficult for that bigger contract offer when he'd be turning 30 next time he's coming out of contact
 
Perhaps Mannagh only negotiated the one extra year as there will probably be more dollars around after that?

Or he's backing himself to get bigger offers?
