Keep the videos coming in the off season!
Absolutely love them

Crows were desperate to keep him because beyond him and Thilthorpe the cupboards bare, keeping in mind Tex in on the verge of retirement. He would be difficult and expensive to replace, more than whatever draft pick you'd get for him as a FA.

Also "he was playing reserves recently". That was early 2022. Two and a half years ago. He's kicked 106 goals since round 11 2022, in his 7 years, 106 of his 158 goals have been in the last 30 months. The way the media talk about him you'd think he's a total potato.

Richmond maintained control over all their trade deals for contracted players and got essentially what they wanted for every deal. Just cause clubs like Port and West Coast seem to be spineless in the trade department doesn’t mean long term contracts are meaningless.

[jonathanr.]

The irony of highlighting all the free agents that clubs should be targeting but criticising Adelaide for avoiding him getting poached.

[kevfartt]

Kane is right on these contracts. AFL form fluctuates too quickly to commit to that length unless it’s a Dangerfield or Bontempelli level talent.

[brcky]

as soon as I saw it I knew this was coming, and it being the crows I knew he’d be seething, comparing Fog to Houston is comparing apples to oranges, Fog is from SA and also went for the crows as a kid, every indication he’d want to stay

[harddobe]

First of all, Fog never waited for FA to then use the market to get every cent out of the club. He didnt hold that over them. On top of that, you can bet your bottom dollar that he is getting well less than other clubs like Melbourne, North, St Kilda etc would pay him.

[MickyHands]

Thanks for such meaty footy chat in late October guys. Really satisfying. Kane not liking Lobb for Aus 44, but 5 minutes later saying the Dogs can win the cup is hilarious.

[christianmarschall]

Just when Kane starts making some good comments, he comes out with a really stupid unresearched opinion and proves that his footy IQ is nowhere near the level of his Dads.

[seantayler]

I think part of the reason why clubs like long term contracts is because of the salary cap and the fact that they need to spend a large percentage of it each year. Having long term contracts allows you to be flexible weather your rebuilding or contending

[MrAnthonyRoger]

Is it as simple as thinking we have space that's otherwise not going to get used, so new deal, front end the contract and use the space and if it works out got a gun and space in the salary cap, if it doesn't easer to trade with reasonable salary for the back end?

[billyeilash]

Fogarty is very quick and explosive he’s nothing like Tex in that regard. He was affected this year and just had knee surgery, you’ll see the difference.

[LiamP]

The AFL needs to cap contracts to 5 years. That solves the issue of the market going crazy.

[harddobe]

Is this the same Darcy Fogherty that your old man Graham thinks is going to be a superstar Kane? What we can safely say is that Fog would be Ports best forward.

[derekboath]

If teams sell home games the team playing next week is also disadvantaged. Playing Freo in Perth the following week if they haven’t travelled is a stitch up for the away team

[ryanmckaye]

Kane you’ve well and truly caught the tism here

[nklin]

Im usually not against kornes and i understand hes a pest but on this one hes a total F wit

[coreytrevorlahey]

With Tasmania as the 19th we need another new team for Canberra AND Darwin. IF North moved & rebadged themselves up in the NT then we could have effectively three new teams for the price of two. There simply is not enough support for them to be sustainably viable in the future.

[sam-ohsr]

i don't remember kane getting this fired up when worse players like marshall and lukosius get 5, 6 year deals, lukosius was playing vfl a few weeks ago!

[ThousandRanch]

Has corn said anything about the lukosious contract
