Player Contract Status

Azabob, he's like the Tom Browne of Woof

Ah yes it was Aza.

Aza's logic was reasonable through and not just a throw away line. He will be as pleased as anyone with the news Smith is staying.

I know. I knew before I asked G.

Aza lacked the conviction to make it happen. He didn't even start a thread on it.

I'm glad he didn't, this is great news!

I am rapt with this news!!

So glad no schadenfreude to be had.

2 years seems a bit weird. Keeping his options open.

Look, I didn't want to say that... so I'm glad someone else did.

Maybe because of his off field issue this year they might have only offered 2 years considering Dale and Daniel got double that.

It's normal to stick to shorter term deals until you're ready for the big payday and a 5+year contract.

He's also not in the same bargaining position he was before the 1st Geelong game.

No chance the 2 years was from the club's end, we would have signed up him up for 5 years if he was willing.

2 years is exactly what I expected. He will rightfully be backing himself to be worthy of a mega deal in 2 years time.

Looks like a strategic decision. The player might be backing himself for a huge pay day down the track.

And being a determined young lad I’m confident he’d want to improve his kicking accuracy and tackle effectiveness which have been down since his recall after suspension.

Please allow us to kick aza some before bringing reason to the conversation.

Fair call, he deserves a clip

Sydney in 25?

[Twodogs]

You so did want to say it.

And you just did!

[Grantysghost]

Libba with the subtle dig on insta... He cracks me up.

[jeemak]

I don't get it.

[hujsh]

I don't get it.

I think it's from the 'Ice in my veins' celebration against Brisbane where people thought it was a vaccine thing
