dow to be offered new 2-3 year deal

Contract Law: Offer-> consideration > acceptance.
Will Paddy Accept

 

[zeggie]

2-3 year on minimum chips, sure, ok for us.

No idea why Dow would agree to it tho, unless he was planning on starting a podcast on the side.

Sorry, one more....

Even Kennedy and LOB earnt themselves new contracts after coming back from the rookie precipice recent years.

We have an absurd top shelf in Cripps, Walsh, Weitering, Charlie, McKay. Docherty, Saad, Cerra all AA (squad?) quality too.

But we were never going to really make it until we could get more players firing. Getting the best out of your 15-20 and 20-30 range is the difference between a mid-ladder side and a real contender.

Really underrated film that.

Just with the Harry rumour, Brad Lloyd said on SEN this morning that H and SOS were a chance this week

I remember landing in Vienna two nights before Christmas, there was a street market with plenty of gluwine (?), but the first thing I saw was this dude selling Digeridoo's !!!

I loved Vienna. Such a grand city.

Although I probably lowered the prestige a notch when I kept on telling everyone 'ich bin ein Weiner'

 

[AT97]

WOW!

DID. NOT. SEE. THIS. COMING!

from a boiled lollie to a chocolate it seems.

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Great news regarding Dow!
Absolutely wrapped for him!
He’s definitely deserving of a new contract. Has worked his backside off to get back in the ones!

 

[NavySteel]

DOW!

Heading over there this Friday.

Amazing city.

yeah because players clearly can't improve...

we all thought Kennedy was going nowhere about 18mths ago.

Dow absolutely deserving of a contract renewal and growing by the week.

When you live-post Draft night trades and the picks, you get some credits

Unless I’ve interpreted it wildly incorrectly the post I was quoting had nothing to do with the merits of another contract for Paddy, lol.

dow to be offered new 2-3 year deal

Now that is some awesome news. Lock him down to a 3 year deal... that'll make him around 27 and right towards the end of Cripps career, and by then, Dow will be 100% ready to step up into his shoes.

 

[Opium]

dow to be offered new 2-3 year deal

Amazing news. 23 year old with huge upside.

 

[Yubby]

Great news but should not be 3 years. 2 at most for Dowy but ideally 1 for both him and us. We seem to want to offer people longer contracts than we should (Young, Fisher, Pittonet, LOB) and leave ourselves with less flexibility to maneuver.

Need midfield depth. If Ed Curnow retires we need midfield depth. The great thing about Dow is he is durable. Hasn't missed many games through injury.

But I thought Carlton did not do development....

get your own d word thread (no really, do it).....

I might have misread...

Edit: I did misunderstand. sorry.
