Player Watch Mark Keane - Signed to End of 2028

[Bazz_27]

He was contracted for 2025. So i am assuming hes plays out next year as CAT B Rookie still then into the Senior list for 26 27 and 28.

I don't think he qualified as a cat B rookie after playing at pies. Think he is Cat A

Not sure he'd stay for that pay packet. Unless the pay isn't tied to the position he uses up on the list.

Well played by Keane and his manager. Used Pies strong interest to extract three more years and no doubt at significantly more premium KPD money from 2025 not 2026 with the new contract over writing the old peanuts $ contract

We finally did the sensible thing rather than scrooging as we have in the past. We've got plenty of cap space and are sensibly using it

He was already signed next year so another 2 years is ok. Thought we would have had to offer another 4 years instead of 2 to outbid Collingwood.

He's signed until 2028, so it's a 3-year extension.

I thought Mark Keane was leaving because of the nasty bald man yelled at him about sitting Butters on his backside?

Do we roll with Butts, Muzz and Keane down back and see what Worrell has up forward? Hopefully we at least trial it in the off-season.

Murray would make a better forward. Would like to see him in the forward line with Fog and Thilthorpe. Better than overspending on Petty. Then we just need to bring in another kpd for depth.

 

[DJ75]

Happy to have him signed on. Offers something a bit different to the other KPD. His kicking is always risky, but he seems to pull it off most of the time. When he does, it opens up scoring opportunities.

a significant amount of depth in our big defenders then. Maybe they are not sure about Butts successfully coming back from his foot injury

Well Worrell did play forward in the champs during his draft year, we've just never tried him there:

"At the 2019 under-18 championships, Josh Worrell was Vic Metro’s leading goalkicker with hauls of four against Western Australia and three against South Australia."

great news. does than mean Borlase is gone then if no official contract signed? we may have offered him one and then revoked it as we did last year for Doedee

N Murray also as a Jnr

 

[Crows I Am]

Good to see him stay, will be a good player long term.

Got to wonder if the rumored Borlase re-signing is accurate now though. He will only be getting game time if we had injuries to two key defenders.

 

[crows dude]

Either way hes a Rookie and cant stay as a rookie past next season so will have to be upgraded to the senior list

He signed for another 3. 2026 2027 and 2028

Keane to call Adelaide home to 2028

The defender has signed a three-year extension

I don't think we have ever offered him one. Was only ever reported on one news article.

ok thanks. sometimes hard to know whats fact and fiction. with Keane re-signing almost certain Borlase gone now though?

ps I still dont think we get rid of Borlase, Gollant AND Berg. One to stay - probably and hopefully Berg

 

[Cap]

The big problem is that many here were only too happy to believe the bullshit, despite all obvious evidence to the contrary.

wasn't it all from 5aa?

 

[Thylacinus]

Really pleased about this. Keane does have pace and agility and I do agree that he is developing rapidly. Worrell also has some similar traits, although they are far from clones. Our back line is very quickly becoming a strength with plenty of rebound.

 

[Jars458]

I swear half of those 5AA callers are set ups to generate controversy.

Their intelligence just reflects the demographics of who listens and who is on the actual show,

 

[Jarman3]

I tend to think of it as Murray, Worrell, and one of Butts or Keane depending on who is fit and in better form. Worrell is too valuable to our defence for me to want to throw him forward just so everybody gets a game.

Very little but.

Confused with Toby?

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Does that move him to the main list.

ok fair call re Nick. I had just read he had played forward as a Jnr but wasnt aware of how much. That said, with his high leaping and pack crashing abilities I wouldnt mind him being tried as a swingman

Absolutely, also the way Keane reads the ball can be a very capable mark up forward.
The deal gives us great flexibility .
