Yes, insurance / long term deal ( end of 2019 ), most certainly yes.

It'll cost at least $1.1 million just this year for that insurance.
Costly insurance.

Some observations -
Quite impressed with Ah Chee (not many possies but seems quality in what he does), Altley (moves like his brother), Bonner, Frampton
White, Lobbe, Toumpas are surely done as AFL footballers?
Magpies were clearly better team, but took a while to switch on, seem to cruise a bit at the level, should/could have won by 10 goals +

Arch is probably a fair way down the pecking order now. Had his chance at the beginning of last season to really cement his spot on the back of a solid finish to 2015, and wasn't able to. Would have to put in an outstanding run of form to be considered for selection, I would have thought.
I am a huge Joe Atley fan and think he has a big future at PAFC. 25 possessions on the weekend, 6 tackles and 5 clearances. Only area of concern is that he doesn't get enough ball on the outside yet, with just 3 kicks from his 25 possessions. Still, to control the stoppages like he does at his age is a pleasing sign.
Just about the best game I have seen Riley Bonner play on saturday, too. It wasn't just the number of possessions that was impressive, but what he did with them. 26 kicks, most of them to a target and none of the dinky sideways indecision we see at AFL level. 5 I50's and a massive 9 R50's. Needs to consistently produce that standard.
Frampton will debut at AFL level soon, and IMO it should be this weekend. 24 touches, 16 HO and 16 marks is a massive game for a big bloke, and playing Dixon, and 1-2 of Ryder, Trengove and he up forward as resting rucks will keep McGovern honest. Has very sure hands and plenty of aggression at the contest, which I like to see.

Interesting, would have though Ah Chee was further up the order, but then again haven't seen as much as you.

We are 9 days away from the match and the only way to see the game if you live in China is to be there.
I think the powers that be need to stump up more cash.

Surely Fox will have it, they claim to have every match of the AFL season "LIVE".

i seriously doubt whether 95% of the Chinese population would even know there's a game happening.
On a side note, I often wonder if Chinese people pop out to get "Australian" take away.

Pop out to get a pie and sauce I reckon.
