Why would you sign anyone for 7 years?
Let alone a non super star!
This sort of stuff reaks of panic.
He at this stage is not that good & does not warrant that deal.

If players like Harry Perryman are getting huge deals Noah deserves one then.
Maybe they are front loading it big time over next few years to take up some cap space, then spreading it out over the course of the deal afterwards.
7 years is a long contract, but at present he’s our biggest name (Lynch will be done after 2025, if his body can even hold out that long), and if we didn’t lock Noah away, other clubs would come calling.
He is our most important player
Build a team around him
Still young rance like
Reckon he was offered 7 years elsewhere for sure .
Thus is the new world of afl millionaire wages

Which means he could flee for an even bigger contract elsewhere later right?
All over the AFL blokes who leave get seven year contracts. Or six. All sorts of duds.
RFC has seen this. And quite a bit of blokes who leave.
This is classy by RFC. To give seven years to a bloke who's staying.
The beauty is that the bloke who's staying just got a pay rise and a massive advance with his new front-loaded contract. Rioli left and got the cash. Noah stayed and got it. Up front.
He's such a lug. Is he our new darling?

Massive believer that young rebuilding sides need 3 pillars.
A big strong physical key forward, a physical ruck and a strong key back.
WIthout them busting packs and standing up for younger smaller teammates, development gets stalled.
If Tom gets fit. He won't stand for ugly opposition defenders intimidating our young small, medium and key forwards. He will both confront them and put a knee and elbow in the back in a contest. Same with Noah and Nank.
Have been a proponent of trialling Balta forward, but now lets settle him back.
They are the three important bookends for the next couple of years that will allow our youth to feel comfortable, then prosper.
Teams like North would have come on way faster if they had the aggressive physical big men at each end like we'll have, protecting the talented smalls.

Nothing left to whinge about. It's become standard industry practice.Looking forward to hearing cornflakes reaction to this long term contract
Are you sure? It is cornflakes we’re talking about here. He’ll find something
Well it is Cornhole he could rumble n splatter, but he'd have to do it at everyone simply coz they're all doing it.Are you sure? It is cornflakes we’re talking about here. He’ll find something
As predicted on SEN Cornehole is having a hissy fit about us signing him up for 7 years. Bet he would love him at Port though.
First good news all season and you have to dump on it.
