Huh?

I know Carlton fans wouldn't be used to drafting anyone talented enough to command an extension so soon, but this isn't a new phenomena. Brisbane extended Ashcroft for 2 years prior to him ever playing a game.

IMO there should be a mechanism for clubs to initially offer a 4 year contract or within the first 12 months extend by an additional 2 years for first rounders + a certain portion of the salary for those additional two years should sit outside the cap.

Why outside the cap?

Probably needed to be done. Couldn't risk another jhf scenario.

I think all our recent draftees (except the obvious) signed two year extensions within their first few games, going back a few years now. Most of them anyway, maybe not rookies and really speculative picks.

At least back to 2019 (tho most of our picks that draft were dealing with injuries for a few seasons.) Dunno about the other 2021 kids (besides Curtis who signed a two year extension) but all three of them grew up barracking for North and they all look like they've got something to offer.

I'm sure clubs have exte ded players contracts before a game has even been played.
Pretty sure the blue did it with someone too

Great signing for North.

Does anyone really think this wasn't already in the works prior to his very impressive first game?

He's a pick 3. Any club with a top 10 pick, let alone a top 5 pick, wants them to extend a further 2 years the minute they get drafted, much less waiting to see how they train over the preseason or how they perform in round 1. This obviously wasn't a case of North rushing to put a contract in front of him only after they saw his performance on the weekend.

It's part of the stupid narrative around JHF.

Ascot Vale or Braybrook?

Probably Caroline Springs.

Somewhere on this map.

Great to see a high draft pick repaying the club that drafted him with his loyalty.
Good on you lad. And well done to the Roos.

I'm guessing he didn't have the same manager as Ollie Henry then.

Yeah they seem to be playing him in there starting 22 though.

Kangaroos re-sign Harry Sheezel until the end of 2026

North Melbourne have moved at lightning speed to lock down Harry Sheezel, with the club handing the emerging...

Talk about crapping their dacks....... after one game (admittedly a very good one), they are worried about another club pinching him.

Talked about living in Tasmania as a real key point to the signing.

Of all North's list management mistakes in the past decade, this is definitely not one of them.

 

[azyboy]

I heard he realised the average life span of a North Melbourne Coach is around 3 years and after reading the JHF thread hopes he can sneak out the back door whilst the fanbase is preoccupied with the Clarko sacking.

Keeping the same coach for so long has done wonders for PA.

It's funny because there are many clubs who lose more talent that they want to keep than we do and yet we're seen as some sort of revolving door.


Anyways this is a very dumb thread if you don't think any club would want to hold onto a talent like Sheezel you're having a laugh or you are completely football illiterate

 

[Rod Stroker]

Great that's he committed, but
1) this isn't unusual
2) contracts don't mean much as we saw last year

 

[citizen-erased]

Lol
Players have extended their initial contracts before they even play a game.

Odd post.

Carlton extended 2022 draftees Hollands and Cowan for two years BEFORE round 1.

Carlton was spooked by the JHF trade.

Pretty sure....

Your contracts have no power here.

I am sure Wardlaw is in the works as well, anyone you take on with an early pick you will want to extend, I think it helps the player as well, there is a lot more you can do in terms of financial planning when you have a longer term contract in place.

I just couldn't draft a bloke whose name rhymes with Cheezels.
Would have to be hard pass.
More fish in the sea!

How would you feel about trading for one?

 

[mr bagcroft]

Would trade any one of our players with a similar silly rhyming name.
Name synergy is the essence of football recruiting.

What about Stewart Oreo
Trevor Parker's
Tony Hot Pockett
Lenny Lay's?

 

[Elixuh]

Why outside the cap?

To encourage retention.

More refined than Geelong or Perf tbf.
