Nas was better then half the team last year on draftee coin, this year they will be deciding if the 7th figure is a 1 or a 2.
3 for $1m or 5 for $2m. Not a decision to rush for either party. I have a feeling if we want Nas, we will need to go 5 years.
A 5 year contract for anyone but an elite gun of the game is stupid especially a kid that hasn't reached 100 games, plain madness.
It's not just because the rest are s***, the kid can play, what more do you want?
100 games is the sweet spot if a 5 year deal is suitable. I'd be surprised and disturbed if Walsh offers 5 years
Walsh crippled Collingwood with his incompetent list management and wreckless long terms contracts

Re: NVM Contract
Someone at the club told me in August that NWM's manager is well known for getting his rookie clients to hold out till the second year to get the best possible deal.
Still waiting for closure ... if you get my drift.

Re: NVM Contract
In fairness…
If he’s going to improve markedly and all indicators are that he is, it’s an excellent strategy

Re: NVM Contract
Make finals.
No-one enjoys playing in or supporting a club that struggles like we did for the second half of 22.
No joy in being part of that capitulation.
