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

Re: Club captains
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. Originally Posted by GVGjr

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

Re: Club captains
He only extended until free agency though, I'm pretty sure. Originally Posted by Happy Days

That's probably what Collingwood thought when they locked in Grundy. Originally Posted by GVGjr

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.
