News Welcome Tyson Stengle

Great news today.

A nice balance of reward and not getting to deep. This year will be different . No Eddie and more comfortable.

 

[you pick one]

Does 2 things,

Keeps the media at bay, and for a player with Demons in his past good to keep them at arms length. And gives him security that he can negotiate a new deal at the end of the year. Might even be Stengles preference for rolling 2 year contracts as it takes pressure off and just allows him to enjoy his footy.

It does something else as well it gives him something to go to the bank with should he be looking to settle in the Geelong area.

 

[patience]

Such good news. He seems pretty happy with the club.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Well if he kicks another 50 goals this year his next contract will be a long term 600k+ a year deal

That would be why he only wanted one year and from our end it makes sense to see if he can backup last year (as much off field as on) before we give him a big longer term deal.

Krock article K rock Football Kingy says tied to the club till end of 2024… some are posting it’s a one year deal… so which is it?
K rock Football usually pretty spot on…


Edit - both are correct…
Under contract till end of 2023 currently and 1 year extension makes it thru end of 2024.


Go Catters

Don't worry, when I first read the news I did a double take thinking that it should be a two year extension until I remembered we're in 2023 already

Spot on P.O. Let's face it, if Stengle had that sort of year coming off a limited build up imagine what he might to this year. A full preseason and the confidence gained from being a premiership star and All Australian. Look out!

Great news today.

Social media/art team nailing this again, got the Premiership top on, the AA jacket, the Premiership medal and the Premiership poster!
Just needed a few "50"s around and it would have been a perfect graphic.

 

[Stokey]

Just watched the Hawks sim.

What an absolute gun.

He is every bit the equal of Bolton but with more composure. His timing by foot is insane.

I am almost expecting a bit of a drop off from him this season - because how can you possibly top what he achieved last year? - but he was easily the cleanest, sharpest player on the ground v Hawks. Another AA, 50+ goal season is certainly not beyond him.

I thought the same, surely couldn't back up 50 goals and AA and the kind of quality we saw of him, then I allowed my mind to flirt with the idea.... what if that is just his "comeback" season and he will improve again from there?

He’s a star, we’be been ridiculously lucky there.

Fun fact - Cyril never kicked 50 goals in a season. 40s twice and 30s once. I was surprised when looking that up as he has been commonly regarded as the small forward benchmark this century.

 

[supahoops]

Could win the Coleman this lad.

 

[patmatcat]

I have him in the 10 top players in the side

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

He's got the it factor no other way to say it
