Was more about the strategy ..I like Boyd and cottrell but I don’t reckon any other club was giving them 2 years .. we don’t take risks and every year there is 2-3Boyd is a no brainer for a 2 year contract. 2nd year in the AFL system and when called upon, looked confident, has speed, good decision maker and a very handy backman. If not injured would easily be in the best 22 imo and also in many others.
Being short on wing options, I would think it's a decision fraught with danger to either delist Cottrell or offer him a 1 year contract. He has amazing pace and can go forward to cause opposition defenders a hard match up. I think 2 years was the right call and at worst is quality depth.
Owies, yep I agree. I've never seen anything more than a very good 2nds player. Sure he has had his moments but 1 year or delist would have been my suggestion but clearly the club see him as a good player and handy depth.
Sometimes a club just needs to do these types of contracts. We missed the finals by % and we are only 1 game into the season and haven't lost a game. I'm just confused people are so concerned. Of course we could go badly but we also could have a great year. Yep sure, we could have a few more quality role players on our list but we needed to keep our solid group together as best ad we could and go to the draft. And from the picks we took at the draft, I'm beyond happy.
Players we have that everyone says in here they are under contract so will
Stay that extra year
