    I agree, he knows we will bite and that's good for clicks.

    Not sure I've seen something like that before. A current player helping out coaching in a lower league? (Apart from when some of our injured players have helped out in the AFLW?)

    Interesting and hopefully by teaching he also keeps learning.

    It happens all the time. A lot of players help out at junior clubs but don't clamour for the profile.

    Similarly quite a few of the private schools have current players as Assistants when they can help.

    Now he's the coach. Didn't make the finals in his first year unfortunately.

    Didn't know that. That's really good.

    I'm aware a few of the Collingwood players do it - Scott Pendlebury, Nathan Murphy...

    All of these offers for Astro were for after next season when he would have been out of contract and I believe a restricted free agent.
    No trade would be required, and there were many more clubs lining up to offer him massive money.

    I've had to repeat this a few times, no he wouldn't have been a free agent at the end of next year. But fair enough if you thought this as it was reported (incorrectly) several times in the media. 8 years service required for free agency which English meets next year, Naughton would have been 1 year short.

    It'd be amazing if I could get contract information, particularly about our own players, here.
