Player Watch Pick #5 (2018) - Connor Rozee (AFL Captain)

[Coobk001]

5 years max, he's from sa he wasn't going to leave unless we offered him under 500k, way too many years

Yeah I don't understand the thought process. The only way it could make sense if it is a stability thing, where we were able to pay him less overall than multiple deals would've cost, and that long deal despite being less lucrative was more beneficial for Connor for personal Investment reasons, etc?

I mean from our perspective he'll play at Port for as long as he wants, there's no doubt there, so the risk is low I guess, but it's still an unnecessary risk.

The biggest go home risks on our list IMO feel like Bergman, Georgiades, maybe Butters and Visentini. Don't think there's any chance Rozee is ever leaving.

New norm
By the time deal expires it'll be looked back as a bargain

We are already looking back at JHF as ridiculously cheap.

We need to revisit that once Butters is taken care of.

 

[It Just Is]

5 years and he’s out of contract again at 28 and the peak of his powers. 2-3 or 7-8 years makes more sense from the clubs perspective.

Tasmania/afl will throw the kind of money around that would turn Tim Ginever.

Let's not get caught out.

Mitch just signed on for 4! What would that be, 7 years, if he wants to leave after that he’s given us good time.

I don’t understand the logic of lowballing Rozee purely because he’s local and less likely to leave.

putting our foot down on 5 years would leave the door open for a vic club to swoop

 

[simba_]

are we scared of him leaving? 8 years is obscene

 

[Wargreymon90]

Yes. There are plenty of clubs who would offer that. If we don’t someone else will

 

[Windy Cindy]

Lock all 3 midfield studs for 8 years.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Does anybody anticipate us delisting Rozee at 28? Who gives a shit whether it's 5 years or 8 years. I'd rather have him locked in.

 

[edgie]

Our local players deserve the same deals that we'd give to interstate players.

8 years! Can you imagine donuts coaching from the boundary in 8 years

I said in the draft thread that there’s only 8 more years left until Hinkley will have been coaching us since before some of our draftees were born.

It's Boomer Harvey kicking 5 goals against us!

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Will sign before Christmas according to 7 news.

 

[RossFC]

 

[SC_Power]

When that happens, even money that the headline reads “Things are looking Rozee at Port Adelaide”.

 

[sobrave]

Has he been made captain yet

 

[Rash]

Has he been made captain yet

no

Deals aren't what they used to be. These days a club will do long term deals just to structure our payments. At the end of the day, if a player wants to leave, these days it happens, and if a club wants to trade a player it happens. A long term deal like this just means the club has some stake in what happens and it (currently) factors into what kind of deal needs to be done if he does leave. A long term big dollar deal says he's worth a lot to us.

Looks like the Club is doing the 10 days of Christmas announcements thing for contract extensions.
Butters on Monday, Drew on Tuesday, so may be keeping Rozee's to last
