    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.
      The curse is dead.

          Maybe because of his off field issue this year they might have only offered 2 years considering Dale and Daniel got double that.
          I will never see #16 the same!!

            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.

                  Our day will come
                  And we'll have everything.
                  We'll share the joy
                  Just like '54 again.

                          You so did want to say it.

                          And you just did!

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