Needs to bring the attitude he had when rucking against his brother earlier this year to every game going forward.
When you’re paid the big bucks you have to be a killer.

 

[GoBlues!]

In the context of having signed Harry on a 7 contract, Weitering 7, and Charlie a 6 yr extension - securing TDK for 7 years would be a great outcome.

He’s not just a ruckman, he averaged 5 clearances a game this year the second highest for the team behind Cripps.

Open market TDK could fetch upwards of 1.5 from some irrelevant clubs.

Just over a million a year is a lot but probably works in our favour knowing what he can produce. Needs to find consistency fast imo and be ruthless. I don’t want him playing nice and he needs to up his aggression.

That being said, I like the kid and he adds so much value and versatility. Definitely a point of difference player

That's a lovely Christmas present.

I'm interested to see how we handle the Cerra contract. If he has a good pre-season, do we try lock him in early? We'd get him cheaper. Or do we see how his body goes and take the risk that we may need to pay him substantially more if he gets back to 2023 form? A chance we could be priced out if that happens. Also, comes down to him. Does he want to secure his future early at a discount, knowing that another year ruined by injury could see his value plummet? Or does he back himself to have a big year and get maximum $?

At least if we get TDK signed early, we will know how much we have to play with.

I'd imagine Cerra will want to hold off talks until after the bye. 1 part being he'd want to prove he's still up to being a top line player for the club after a tough 2024 but also because he's a bit of a different operator in terms of how he views footy as a profession rather than a hobby he gets paid for. Seems much more of a logical thinker than an emotional one and objectively holding out is better for him.

With our recent departures in Kennedy and Carroll I think he's our next most important signing behind TDK this year. Walsh and Cerra will be our senior midfielders when Jagga, Cody and the Campo twins start coming into their own.

It is a good point. Given the club's recent history and change in mindset (get rid of injury prone players), due diligence says no early contract sign-off from the clubs perspective. I'm not sure of Cerra's personal perspective (Safety vs dollars).

Feel the club has to at least wait until mid season to see more on his soft tissue injuries. If our salary cap total was a bottom four profile it wouldn't matter so much but our cap is a top 4 profile.

There are certain players in our side which should NOT be referred to by their surname,it bugs me I know it shouldn’t but it does.

There’s the obvious:

Charlie
Harry
Tom
Elijah
Ollie
Jsos

And there’s the newbies:
Ben
Lucas

And Jagga should never be referred to as Smith just sounds wrong.

Feel better now.
