Recommitted Nathan O'Driscoll (Signs til 2026)

[DragoDelph]

Is it bad I don't know who that is? I feel like she might sing or something?

Yep.

“Suddenly I see” probably the most well known.

Hopefully we’ll suddenly see NoD re-sign after Perl’s finals campaign

I was reasonably confident he'd stay until that interview after Peel. I'm coming to terms with him going now.

Yeah, seemed like a big change from his interview after the Port game.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Would spew if we gave up O'Driscoll for Garcia

I'd almost feel like it's best case scenario. Garcia has shown a little bit and wpuld add to depth up front as a pressure forward with more class than Emmett. We are getting absolutely nothing for Noddy if he leaves

 

[Swiggy]

Unless we get all of Baker, Bolton, and Warner then he should be locked in the 22

he's played 12 games in 2 years he's no a lock in best 22 even if no one is traded in

Would’ve been if he didn’t get injured. Was good in the pre season. The fact that he was b22 for the last few games with no injuries in his position is a pretty good indicator of where he’d sit next year.

Also key word “should.” He should be in the team over JOM at the very least

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Think people think 1+1=2 with this

He knows once Perryman makes a choice, suitors will be lining up left right and center for him. Someone will drasitcally overpay him wage wise and push a club like Bulldogs out of the picture anyway

He played WAFL most of last year when he was fit. he was great in 2022 but he hasn't shown much since

 

[s_wd6]

Yeah, seemed like a big change from his interview after the Port game.

Was gushing about the club in that interview

Must have had more contract negotiations in the few weeks since that haven’t been to his liking

 

[s_wd6]

Yeah, and then he went away had a good pre season and came back much improved. He didn’t had a lot of continuity in 2023 either. A lot of illness as well as a few minor injuries.

I know you have some kind of vendetta against us but either way the kids played 24 games has talent no doubt but theres not a chance in hell he is offered a long term high wage contract by anyone with his injury history

You lose Bailey and can’t afford nod?

That’s hilarious.

Only way he leaves is because a club is offering him a longer term contract on better wage. I’d imagine we’re offering two, which means you lot would be at least 3. 4 not out of the question if you’re north or stk.

A blood clot in the knee is hardly something that will scream injury prone to other clubs. I think its fair to say he will have more then a few suitors for sure. Not sure why anyone would think otherwise after his end to the season

 

[Swiggy]

last year he played 10 AFL games & 11 in the WAFL he didn't miss too much footy

Don't get me wrong i'd be happy for freo to keep him but has to be on there terms

That’s hilarious.

Cant afford to pay someone with that spot on the list that much. Dont think a heap of players would be thrilled if NOD is on 600k a year for example...

He doesn’t need to be paid that much.

He can be paid 450, leaving room
To bump up someone else or cover a rookie.

There is just no way that the the dogs “won’t be able to afford him” is a thing

There is no way he takes 450k though. He gets 600k for sure.

Where did I say we can't afford him? I'm saying he won't get 4-5 year offers on 500k + like the poster was suggesting

Yes someone will offer him 3 but won't be huge money

 

[DragoDelph]

Sorry, was agreeing with you

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

I honestly believe he gets 4/2.4 mill like offer from a few clubs.

Last year he wasn’t great. Last year he also dealt with chest infections and ongoing injuries that would have affected his performance

 

[Foxman98]

He won't get near 600k 4-5 year offers

Believe or want?
