“We’re delighted Jordan has agreed to extend his contract to stay at Collingwood,” Magpies football department chief Graham Wright said on Friday.

“Jordan is a talented footballer and his commitment to improve his game has seen him perform strongly this year,particularly during the back-end of the season and during the finals series where he was exciting to watch.

“We feel Jordan’s best football is in front of him and,as a club,we will continue to support him as he grows as a player and as a person.”

The Magpies wanted behavioural clauses inserted,for they felt contracts should consider personal history and circumstances,withDe Goey too often having found himself in off-field trouble.

De Goey had resisted the Magpies’ push,strengthened by an AFL Players Association statement declaring that standard player contracts and the code of conduct were sufficient to cover any behavioural breaches by De Goey,or any player,and additional clauses were unnecessary.

The PA had been advising De Goey’s management,but its statement was made more as a broader comment.

Amid the haggling,the explosive midfielder was a key figure in the Magpies’ stunning from 17th last seasonto finishing two points shy of the grand final this year. He averaged 20 possessions in 19 games,booting 18 goals,and was superb in the finals. He was the best afield in the qualifying loss to Geelong,with 26 touches (12 contested),nine tackles,eight clearances and two goals,and dominated in the semi-final win over Fremantle when he had 24 possessions (13 contested),eight inside 50s and a goal. However,he was quiet in the preliminary final loss to the Swans.

The Magpies halted contract negotiations with De Goey after his controversial mid-season trip to Bali,although unofficial discussions remained. Before the deal was pulled,the Magpies were offering the player about $800,000 a season.

After the season-ending loss in Sydney,coach Craig McRae again urged De Goey to get a deal done with the Magpies.

The Magpies will hope De Goey has a quiet off-season,having found himself in the headlines last summer.He was arrested in New York and charged with forcible touching and assault after an incident in a nightclub. Those charges were later downgraded in court,but he was found guilty of second-degree harassment.

As free agency opened on Friday,ahead of Monday’s start to the trade period,Hawthorn confirmed unrestricted free agent Karl Amon had agreed to terms on a four-year deal,crossing from Port Adelaide.

The Power will receive a second-round draft pick – currently pick No.27 – as compensation.

Amon played 124 games for the Power,this year leading the club’s Brownlow Medal tally,having averaged almost 24 disposals per game,including 15.5 kicks and 5.8 marks.

Hawks list chief Mark McKenzie said the Hawks were “thrilled” to have done the deal.

“He is an incredibly gifted athlete and can be damaging by foot,” McKenzie said. “With more than 100 games under his belt,we believe his skill set and experience will complement our young and developing list.”

The Hawks are rebuilding under coach Sam Mitchell,and this week said goodbye to three-time premiership star Jack Gunston,who is heading to the Brisbane Lions as a free agent. Midfielder Tom Mitchell,the 2018 Brownlow medallist,has been in discussions with the Magpies.

Swans small forward Tom Papley,26,has opted not to explore free agency next season,inking a five-year contract which will keep him at the club until at least 2028. He still had a year to run on his current deal,but wants to be a Swan for life.

Papley booted 32 goals this season in a campaign when the Swans made the grand final,coming a year after he was an All-Australian.

“We have a very exciting group coming through,I’m really looking forward to the next five years,” Papley said.

“The contract didn’t take that long to be honest;it all happened pretty quickly during the finals and got it signed off. One of the main reasons I signed on was because of this young group. They’re still learning,and I think only half played in their first final this year,so we can’t wait to get back to pre-season and start working hard again.”

The Swans have delisted 2014 AFL Rising Star winner Lewis Taylor and Irish defender Barry O’Connor. Taylor,who beat Marcus Bontempelli to the 2014 award,had three years on the Swans’ list,having departed Brisbane after the 2019 campaign.

Elsewhere,Richmond have confirmed John O’Rourke will replace Peggy O’Neal as president at the annual general meeting on December 19.

O’Rourke,the founder and chairman of Plenary,a developer,investor and manager of infrastructure projects,joined the board in November 2015. He is also a director of the Australian Grand Prix Corporation,and had been a board director of the Victoria Racing Club for eight years.

“John is a highly experienced director who has worked tirelessly on the Richmond board for the past seven years,” O’Neal said.

“John has outstanding business acumen. His appointment was unanimous and ensures a seamless transition into the next phase of this club’s evolution.”
