[iameviljez]

I have to admit I thought he was gone.

I mean marty36, not Motlop!

 

[ChookNorris]

How long is the deal?

 

[Catatonic Shock]

How long is the deal?

Allegedly 4 years.
Although that's a "im pretty sure" situation and not definitive.

 

[romeohwho]

Was never in doubt-go Motlop. Fun ahead.

 

[The rabbi]

Both crack and champagne get them out.

Mate, this is not the Gold Coast forum.

It was confirmed on Saturday that star midfielder Steven Motlop had signed a new two-year deal, although the Cats had not wanted to publicise it this week, fearing it would detract from the farewell games of multiple premiership-winning stars Steve Johnson, James Kelly and Mathew Stokes.

Motlop - who had been linked with a move to Richmond - will be eligible for limited free agency when his new deal expires in 2017.

"We'll roll that out next week," Geelong football manager Steve Hocking told ABC radio.

"It's been a lot of work between (Motlop's) manager and myself, but we got there in the end.

"It was really just about making sure that he realised his value - but, at the same time, we maintained a pay structure, as we have done."

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Great news, but I guess we'll be going through all this again in season 2017.

 

[Willo_]

Oh yay

Will be back to where we started from in a year

 

[ChookNorris]

Now just waiting on Blitz and kolo announcements.

 

[Lana]

Who's his manager? Seems to do a good job for him everytime.

 

[manboob]

Makes sense he probably wanted 5 years at 700 we give him two at 500. Something something FA prove it etc suff

 

[dazbroncos]

It's a fair deal. Mots is gonna want to get paid with the new CBA deal coming thru and as a RFA he can test the market again. If he keeps playing well he will get the boost and have earned it. And the club gets to keep him for the next 2 years.

With some big names and payments off the list, its not unfair to think he will get a bump if his form warrants it.

Go Catters

 

[GFrost]

Keeps him hungry.
I do love locking up our stars for five years but there is sometimes the subconscious edge blunting that can come with security.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Motlop has re-signed
