Jasper Pittard’s three-year contract extension with Port Adelaide contrasts with the situation at the Adelaide Crows, says Kane Cornes.
“His commitment to the Power — which has held on to the bulk of its uncontracted players in the past five years — is another massive boost for the environment built by coach Ken Hinkley and his football chief Chris Davies,” Kane wrote in The Advertiser.
“Players stay at Alberton — and re-sign with a minimum of fuss. It is a stark contrast to events at the other end of West Lakes Boulevard with the Adelaide Football Club.
“Pittard, 26, is turning his back on significant offers from at least two AFL clubs in his home city of Melbourne — deals he could have picked up with no hurdle to change clubs.
“As an unrestricted free agent, Pittard had a free pass to whichever club he wanted to join.”
