Could you imagine the lambasting we'd get if we prioritised Bont's signature right now instead of the three key out of contract players?

Id be fine with it.

One day a club will structure a long term deal like this that goes 5 years or more past the players actual career and the AFL will shut that option down quick smart.

Didn’t work out when Vince McMahon tried it with Bret Hart.

Franklin was always the plan , if he retired early they just had him as a coach of some sort was my thought.
