I keep forgetting that he is just 21. He still has potential to grow and build into.

Surprised they gave him 2...surely 1 would have sufficed.
The club does not hand out 2 year extensions willy nilly so they must see real potential in BJ, potential that RWO'ers may not see.
I think he has shown enough to be given the surety of 2 years on what would be a modest salary anyway.
Hope BJ continues to improve and makes himself a top 22 player. There are after all at least three vacancies to be filled in the top 22.
He is a good kid, he keeps getting better, he works hard. He is not perfect and it may surprise some to know that Ted couldn't get a gig at Essendon, Jeremy couldn't get a gig at Carlton and Hawthorn traded Joey, and yet they all improved with a bit of time, so for pete's sake, we can give BJ a bit of a go can't we.
If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhood
does anyone know the min annual salary a snr afl player can be on now ?

im guessing when he was 17 in year and scored 98 plus ATAR he was doing lots on AFL training ? NON.............he was way behind in development and he is now ready to surge again
i feel very confident he will be on the march in to the 22 again in 2016

Just to clarify, I do really like him as a player and believe he can become best 22...just not sure the 2 years was really necessary.
Look what happened with Derrickx? We signed him too hastily and our now stuck with him for an extra season.
