Good on Gards, works hard and was rewarded. He improved so much last year. Can’t wait to see what he’s capable of this year with some more support.

Yes
Assuming Sam Darcy's height gets updated to 209cm+ was claimed during the season last year, we've got 3 of the top 10 tallest players in the league. Darcy, English and Lobb playing together would easily be the tallest trio to have taken the field together in any AFL game since the beginning of the league.Have we got the tallest talls

True, he has upgraded from extremely anxious to hesitant. It's not yet at the desired level but it was at least a positive trend.

Well deserved contract for Gardner. He has shown great improvement last season and hope he has another good season.

Well done to Gardener for the hardwork he has put in. Hope he continues with his improvement. An all Australian smokey this year for mine.
Top 10 tallest players from each club - Average Height (y) vs average Supercoach Price (x). It's quick and dirty and I'm sure there are errors between B.Williams, L.Youngs, etc. but whatever
We don't have the tallest talls but we have the best talls. Port have the tallest talls but they're a bunch of nothing.

I expect that we will never be outmarked, forward or back, ever again.

Remember Gardner played forward in his debut?
This has been another slow-burn troll from the best in the business - Luke Beveridge.
Just as everyone accepts Gardner is a deserving component of our defence, Beveridge will swung him forward, alongside Lobb, JUH and Naughton, while stacking defence with Jones, Keath, Bruce and Darcy.
Oppo teams will be begging for the mercy rule well before 3/4 time in our games, as our game scores will obliterate Bradman's career from the history books. We'll fly Brian Lara in to witness an AFL team surpass his 400. Whether we win the flag or not is academic - we will witness the first 4000+ point season in a senior competition in the history of the Australian game.
Buckle up, strap yourselves in, lubricate your moving parts.

Herald sun article with some contract news.
Western Bulldogs premiership hero Tom Liberatore is set to enter talks on an early-season contract extension after career-best form in the past two years.
Liberatore is a free agent this season but after securing Ryan Gardner on a three-season extension the Dogs will turn their minds to Liberatore and young dasher Ed Richards.
After successfully navigating a season in which they signed up a host of stars including Bailey Smith, Jackson Macrae, Bailey Dale, Tim English and Caleb Daniel the list of priority signings is much shorter.
Second-year tall Sam Darcy, set to take the competition by storm as an intercept defender this year, is deep in talks on the contract that will take him past his mandatory initial two-year deal.
Liberatore is at the other end of his careerand yet he finished third in the 2021 best-and-fairest after 25 games and second behind Josh Dunkley last year after a 22-game season.

Liberatore missed almost all of the 2015 and 2018 seasons with knee issues and as recently as 2021 his contract negotiations went deep into the season despite his excellent form.
But Liberatore’s signing takes on even more importance given the Dogs’ loss of extractor Dunkley to Brisbane in a team that bases its entire style on winning contested ball.
Given that form he might again want to hold out for a two-year deal given he does not turn 31 until May, but talks in the near future will clarify his position.
Richards played only five games in the grand final season of 2021 because of ankle issues but roared back into form last year in a 22-game season.
At only 23 he is entering the peak of his career and as a running defender can release the likes of Daniel into the midfield.
The Dogs are keen to see the fruits of their 2021 trade labours realised this season after adding Rory Lobb in a late deal and securing Liam Jones as a full back.
Both players have completed nearly every minute of every session and again were strong in Friday’s match simulation session.
Lobb, who signed on a four-year deal, kicked 36 goals last year for the Dockers but the real benefit of his acquisition will be a decreased reliance on star forward Aaron Naughton.
Naughton has continually had to play against multiple opponents and has been forced to endure early wear-and-tear on his body including a knee injury that he has had to manage across much of his career.
The Dogs are hopeful the three-pronged forward line of Naughton, Lobb and Jamarra Ugle-Hagan alongside smalls including Cody Weightman can test the AFL’s best defences.

Think they meant Ed Richards is 23 but you’re right… it’s not quite how it came out.

It is just the caption for the photo. If you look above to the pic of the trio running, you will see it mentioned too. It's the result of the copy paste job, not the fact it is poorly written.
Sorry everyone kind of stuffed the copy and paste job on the article I posted up. Just edited the article and fixed it up
