He signed a few months back and then again yesterday he signs an extension. I was having a go at the list management for having no idea what they are doing.

Did he sign an extension earlier this season?
He came to the club in the 2020 draft and was signed till end of 2022. Midway through 2021 - he signed a 3 year extension tying him to the club until the end of 2025... We have now extended him again until 2028 which is when he will be a restricted free agent.
Not sure how anyone can be critical of locking up TT for another 3 seasons.

This is what was reported previously, on July 24
CROWS TO GO LONG-TERM ON GUN FORWARD
ADELAIDE has offered Riley Thilthorpe a new contract that will lock the young key forward in at the Crows until he becomes a free agent in 2028.The Crows are currently working on a three-year extension with the 2020 No.2 pick and are hoping to finalise the deal in the coming weeks.
Thilthorpe signed a three-year deal halfway through his first season in 2021 that doesn't expire until the end of next season.
But after making a successful return from pre-season knee surgery across the past fortnight, Thilthorpe is set to join Sydney young gun Logan McDonald – who was another key forward selected in 2020 – in signing through to free agency.
Front loading the contract.. does that mean there's going to be a big signing soon?

It's more likely to mean that we're struggling to hit the cap floor.
No he didn't. There was talk that he was going to sign an extension, and then there was the official press release of them having done it.
In your dislike for the club, you jumped too early to call them out.

It literally means the opposite. We missed out on bringing in a big name so we have cash to spend now.
The rumours are likely true, the Luko door has closed.

You should probably tell Tom Morris then, given he just said on radio we're still in the lead for him.

The thing is where else does he go? If Port can't move Houston they probably don't have the cash. I heard Blues were into him but surely they run out of brown paper bags at some point. Maybe the door is still ajar? Probably just rules out Cummings. Instead of Cummings and Luko.

Funny how journalists are rubbished for writing crap until it suits us.

He'll be massive to our chances next year. I love him - reckon he could become a top 5 forward in the next couple of years. Just gotta stay injury free.

According to AFL player ratings, he already is. And that’s coming off a knee injury. Really exciting.
Agreed. Not sure who I love most out of The Beast and Rankine, we have some very exciting players coming thru. Like we haven’t seen for many many years
Being Shite does that.
Does anyone else think he is going to be clearly better than the King boys?
TT is a fantastic contested mark as are both of the Kings. But TT is so much more. Amazing skills including quick hands, picking the pill off the ground and also one touching for a big man, smart footballer and good decision making, endurance to run his opponent off his feet, the strength to bench press defenders (I read one footy writer say in the last couple of weeks that TT is already the strongest full forward). Has mongrel. Plays with passion. Loves his club.
Love The Beast and see him leading us on to some big September wins over years to come - hopefully starting 2025.
I really hope he grows his beard back. That alone is worth a goal a game!

Well Thilthorpe is a more reliable kick for goal than Max for starters.
