He will be an RFA at the end of this contract under current rules.  

 

I remember reading the AFL have stated that 2013 as a 17 yo counts towards FA status. 

Did I miss another rule change, I thought it was 8 years, not 7 for RFA?

Great news! 

The MFC has done a brilliant job signing all our must keep players. Now we can push for finals over the next three years. That will make them want to hang around.

Maybe some active twitter users can blow up Damien Barrett's account about how "gettable" Jesse was this year?

He'll claim circumstances changed but that's the thing with his bull),&@ he claims anything and then justifies it with rubbish. Terrible journalism and it seems he was used by his manager mates. 

 

Yay Jesse!!

2 extra years is good for the club. It will then know just how good he is, rather than be paying long, big contract, largely on promise.

Stuie, you're right.  I went back and checked, I'd misunderstood the rules. 

 

Even better result for us if FA rules stay as they are.

Literally can't keep up with how often these things change, so wouldn't have been surprised! There's a pretty strong push from the AFLPA to make it 6/8 years in stead of 8/10 isn't there? Seems pretty likely. With that and the CBA still progressing, it's a smart move by his management which will give him a strong starting point for his next contract. Fair enough too.

Oh no My prediction was wrong.

I am slipping that is the second time I have been wrong in the last 20 years.

Must be the ageing process.

So many floggs on the other thread.

Out yourself in here and give yourself an uppercut.

Or you could say something like: "Great news for the club I love! This guy is a massive part of our future and I'm excited by our young group."

You know, rather than focusing on other people on Demonland...

it also allows him to see how things go under Goody before deciding if he sticks around long term, in three years time i feel we should be top 4 and contending, but look at a side like the Pies, coaching transition doesn't always work perfectly. 

smart move i reckon, i assume the perth rumours probably added a few $$ to his new deal as well.

Called it that it would be sorted before trade period. Was confident the club would have traded him if he didn't re-sign before that period. Zero chance they would have gone into 2017 without having him sign an extension.

My sentiments exactly. Those who thought that it was ok for him to go into next year uncommitted are kidding themselves. The club realised that it would have derailed our year, and a decision either way had to be made this week.

Two year extension is not an issue because we've got him locked up for 3 seasons, and I assume that we haven't had to offer him a franchise player type deal.

I wonder what $ after Roos said we would'nt be paying exorbitant deals. 

And now the speculation begins doc.

To be honest I don't care, I trust our this FD has come up with the right number for all concerned.

Those who said he was gone... you were wrong

Those who questioned his commitment to the club... you were wrong

Those who personally attacked a young mans character and loyalty while he was/is dealing with a reportedly terminally ill parent, I hope you feel good about yourself. It was pathetic.

Good onya Jesse. Let's win flags now.

fantastic result. also, here's the rules around free agency:

 

rfa rules:  Players who are in the top 25 per cent of salaries at their club (that is, in the club’s top nine-10 paid players) are eligible for restricted free agency the first time they are out of contract, if they have served at least eight years with the club.

 

ufa rules: Players who are not in the top 25 per cent of salaries at their club (that is, in the club’s top nine-10 paid players) are eligible for unrestricted free agency if they have served at least eight years with the club.

 

so presumably even if you include his year at casey he will NOT be a free agent at the end of 2019.

The thing that boils my grits (over on the other thread) and happens every time one of our footballers doesn't re-sign on the timetable a poster is happy with, is the questioning of the players commitment and in particular, their talent. These footballers go from good to bog ordinary based purely on not signing a contract quickly enough. Those questioning what Hogan has produced over 41 games - lordy....

I'm pumped about this. We can build a flag around this bloke.

If we now secure Hibberd for a second round pick and perhaps also land Michael Barlow for a set of steak knives (essentially to take the spot opened up through Matt Jones' departure), I'm content for the club to do nothing more in this trade period.

Our future success will come from the players already at the club.

Top work Josh Mahoney.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
