Again, huge hats off to Tex here for going the extra mile with Cumming. Paying double dividends now with Peatling.

Pretty happy with this.

Can see him doing very well at HB pushing up the ground. Plus he has a hard edge.

[Crow_68]

Wow, 6 years......Kornes head will be spinning.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Wow, 6 years......

Probably had to go to that to get him over the line vs Port’s offer

 

[Magma]

I don't like deals that long but basically everyone is signing at least 4+ it seems.

 

[Dangerousfield]

Across the league contracts are getting much longer and the $ to get FA has risen significantly, at a higher rate than the cap is rising.

Cumming and Peatling both better players than some on here are saying. Along with ANB we've significantly improved, organic growth and a guaranteed soft draw we should be certain finalists - Nicks notwithstanding!

 

[Sizzlepack]

Six years, sheesh. Hope the soft tissue injuries were an aberration this year!

Those Broken Hill boys are very tough and very loyal.

 

[Golumless]

Considering free agency and how it'll inflate salary/security, six years seems an ok price to pay to secure Cummins providing the salary isn't inflated to hell and back.

 

[pjcrows]

To bring in players you think are good, you need to pay them more or for longer. That's how it works.

 

[Golumless]

So loyal that he walked out of GWS

 

[WAG]

Eeek. 6 years! Will be 32 in his final year.

When did Smithers start to decline?

 

[Cromulant]

31.....

When did Smithers start to decline?

Smith's age-32 year was this year (January), so he played all this year as a 32 year old.

This contract is the equivalent of running out last year, as Cumming's birthday is in August. So he'll turn 32 just as the contract ends (equivalent of ending last year for Smith).

 

[Hell Boy6669]

Suspect we came to the party with an extra year after port offered cumming their Perryman cash

 

[jello_bello]

Suspect we came to the party with an extra year after port offered cumming their Perryman cash

or we tacked on a extra year to increase the compensation GWS receive as "goodwill" in the Peatling trade?

LOL.
When did we last get that?

 

[ams4crows]

Why is it taking it so long for the AFL to confirm? Gotta make sure the band 1s get announced first?

Formula can't be that difficult

They make it up every time

 

[Golumless]

Why are we giving players 6 year deals?

I just don’t get it.

Because it requires a 6-year deal to sign the player in FA.

It's becoming the norm everywhere.

Well I’m not for it - players have all the power, clubs have sfa.
