Re: Club captains
Interestingly, only two current premiership captains in the AFL that are still captain of the club that they led to a flag. Hmmm.

He's possibly their best player and now they club has him locked in and as the captain for an extended period. They probably think it's a reasonable position for them going forward.

He's from Adelaide too, one of the rare individuals that wants to stay.
Butters is the one we want to target being a Bacchus Marsh boy.

Re: Club captains
Butters I think signed an extension too, which is a weird move considering he’s coming to us in 2025.

He only extended until free agency though, I'm pretty sure.

Re: Club captains
If they can get JHF on go home factor why can’t we on Butters?
Kane Cornes would have a good sook about it.

That's probably what Collingwood thought when they locked in Grundy.
Then again, we locked in Naughton on a similar contract... and he had similar deals from at least two clubs on the table.

Re: Club captains
Clubs are using length of deals to offset the capital they're loosing when players are coming up and saying they won't give a pickle option. But things will balance out.
Oliver with seven to go, Jacko with whatever it is for us (because nobody's taken the time to start a contracts thread), Naughton with his deal, or whoever. Clubs and players will find out the hard way that it's 50-50 at some point and it will normalise.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.
