Don't see why this would be a surprise. Has done everything asked of him, has made great strides in keeping a lid on it and behaving and is a regular in our best 22.

The thing that is impressing me (if this BF post is true) is that we don't appear to be handing out big contracts any more. 1 year with performance triggers for two for Tucky (don't believe this is confirmed) and 1 year for Jake with an option for 2 if we want him.

To sign King and Tuck is a good thing IMO. It shows that Hardwicks message is clear and these players have improved out of sight.

I would say King may be in our top 10 B & F since that Stkilda game where he demolished NDS. His kicking has improved also.

Whilst im not a fan of the midgets i think he can be a cleaver tagger we have been waiting for not like Patty Payne Nahas who should be delisted.

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

I think you'll find Jake wont be in the best 22 next year, this isn't the reason why he should be let go. A mature gutsy footballer as depth isn't a bad idea. He isn't our future but he has worth on our list in the 2s to come in and play and fill a role and he has shown this year he can do that.
Go Tigers!

If it's similar to Tucks (1, with triggers for 2), then I'm all for it.  He's a great leader.

2nd dumb decision, 1st was Tuck! IMO.

Edwards, Polo, Nahas are in the gun IMO!

Two of them have to go!

like it or not kingy happens to be one of our not that big but big names.. Collingwood all know who is for sure ;) and he has improved heaps from last year and is doing all he is requierd to do and he has proven he can be a good tagger (how many big players has he injured? some of ours :P but for a small body he is worth an extra year ... he shows that he is a tiger beacue he is alwasy doing stuff for teh club and i am happy to have him again

you NOOO sayers sorry but you must be blind to not see the impacts he has on some games and his improvments  :)
