Highly Unusual for 22yo to sign 7y deals , more likely a 2-3 to FA then roll the dice againOur only issue might be because he is so good, so young, teams might be prepared to launch a 7 or more year godfather offer at him.
I know I would.

His trade value would be similar to Tim kelly , and he’s only 22 . I’m confident he ll re sign for 2-3if we win a premiership this year and he stars, I take that any day. Plus 2 first round picks please.
Money would be good, but that would be one hell of a long hard slog to earn your crust. Gotta be able to enjoy rockin up to work every day n be able to anticipate at least some modicum of success n fun.Have #lolNorf offered Shai 7 years on 1.5m a year yet?
Possibly, but it is borderline as to whether Langdon had a brain to start with.Always knew that bleaching ones hair would eventually lead to bleaching of the Brain.
That's the result of someone's head up there ass.He will definitely resign because Karl Langdon in his pathetic little column in the Sunday Times (WA) reckons the whisper is he wants to return to WA and play for Freo.
Agreed with your earlier post concerning value, but not this. The fact that he is so young and has already demonstrated that he is an elite player who has the ability to help lead a club like ours to further and sustained success, means he can take a breather and not push for more, but rather secure a long term deal, highly leveraged by performance bonuses.Yep, same here, you'd love to keep him but he will be one of those rare guys who has achieved footy success at a young age, so there's a compelling case for him to set himself up as best he can.
My advice to guys is always take the length of contract and the money when you can get it. You're only ever a second away from an injury destroying your career on an AFL ground and loyalty doesn't pay your bills.
And once he has sown up 'mark of the year', then he might even use two hands sometimes.i reckon he played a bit of George's role this week, and in the last couple of weeks. not the chaos, but the small marking option.
he appears to have been given the licence to fly, and the team appears to look for him in the air.
It won't surprise me if Shai takes 2 or 3 marks of the year in the same game before too long.And once he has sown up 'mark of the year', then he might even use two hands sometimes.
Tim Kelly? Not sure what your point is? Never played for Freo.Yeah who would want to play for Freo? Rubbish club. Ask Tim Kelly about them.
East Fremantle i think.Tim Kelly? Not sure what your point is? Never played for Freo.
5 time premiership player? So you dont think he will stick around after his next contract?Yeah he can move for the money or he can be a 5 time premiership legend and 2 time norm smith medalist at the tigers.
he seems a very similar personality type to Dusty and reckon we'll give him a decent deal and he'll stay.
It was South Freo, did 3 or 4 seasons with them as I recall.East Fremantle i think.
Not sure about the point either.
The only thing that could make him leave is money.
I don't think Bolton is homesick
My point is that he wanted to go home to Perth but he never even considered Freo as an option; would only go to the Eagles. That's an indictment on Freo as a club when they can't even get consideration in a 2 horse race.Tim Kelly? Not sure what your point is? Never played for Freo.
Kelly comes across as a bloke that thinks his shiit dosent stink.My point is that he wanted to go home to Perth but he never even considered Freo as an option; would only go to the Eagles. That's an indictment on Freo as a club when they can't even get consideration in a 2 horse race.
Don't disagree but it is a clear example of how Freo is perceived in Perth. They are the clear poor relation and have basically achieved jack *smile* in 27 seasons in the AFL.Kelly comes across as a bloke that thinks his shiit dosent stink.
Thats the difference
