Relevance?
1/ reduced cap space if they had stayed
2/ pressure on AFC to retain an interstate star, this is a statement from them more than anything
THOUGHTS;
5 year deal is a long time for an inside midfielder who's 28 now - 33 in 2023?
The way he plays is collision/ contested based which generally shortens your playing career.
How bad is the foot injury?, generally this injury tends to hang around?
Cant see him part of the crow midfield at 32+, will he need to become specialist fwd, interchange, or back pocketer for final year/s?
Love the fact he's staying but feel Crows have gone all in with this deal, as dutchy said this deal is all about keeping one interstate star, don't think any other club would of put up 5 years for him, imo slightly overs..... 3 years and a review on 4th would of been most clubs offer.
