Kane McAuliffe

Kano's loads have been managed, he's had a week off, must come back into the side, for farce sake.

Has extended his contract until the end of 2027.
Well done to Kano. He says 'the next couple of years' but it does say 2027....the next 3 seasons.

Speaks in a leadership way and once he sees the draftees come in, his mentality will naturally click to senior.

Great to see these 2 and 3 year contracts. Well done to the club. No more 5+ ones.

Slowly ticking the young blokes off.
We'll have a pretty good idea who goes & who stays by the end of the month.

Music to my ears. Another pre-season & Hopefully will be alot more durable with another pre-season. Look forward to him being a permanent midfield fixture next year.

Nothing wrong with 5+ year deals for established mature players, definitely not needed for youngsters just starting to step up to senior footy though.

That’s because it’s an extension of 2 years. Draftees all get 2 year deals to start. So he was contracted until end ‘25 and has now added 2 years on to it.
 
Got some solid citizens amongst the kids to be fair.

Kane, Kaleb Smith and Banks all have leadership about them, even if their footy isnt at the level.

Personality traits that are important in the rebuild.

Blight has similar traits about him as well.

A good resigning as Kane has all the traits for a big future at Punt Road. A good preseason, a good bit of coaching and he will really start to shine in 2025. The nucleolus is there and just needs bringing out more mainly tank wise

Blight playing good football, confident in himself, but at the moment seems desperate to make his mark in his own right as a mature ager, {which is understandable), once he conforms to team structure could be a real bonus.
Ripper game in VFL on the weekend.

And Ross too, he's got a few years on Smith and Banks though.

They already know internally. Just up to the commercials to be sorted out.
