Geelong utility Mark Blicavs said it was a “very easy decision” to put pen to paper to sign a one-year contract extension that will take him through to the end of 2026.
The 34-year-old 276-game veteran is showing no signs of slowing down and said it was his teammates that was the main reason in re-signing.
“I really enjoy playing with them,” he said.
“I have got some great mates, talking about ‘Bewsy’ (Jed Bews) and ‘Guth,’ Jack Henry, Mark O’Connor but the young boys coming through as well. Seeing what Max (Holmes) is doing on the field, seeing what Ollie Dempsey is doing on field, it is exciting.
“I think we have always said that it is a great place to be at the club, we want to compete and we want to win games, we want to be up there at the pointy end of the season.”
Blicavs said he is still enjoying playing.
“The club were happy for me to play on next year and I really wanted to,” he said.
“I am really enjoying my footy and still motivated, so it was a very easy decision. I’m pumped to play one more year at least.
“The club has been great to me from day dot. I have said it many times previously, they didn’t need to give me a shot way back when as a Category B Rookie and they did. I am forever indebted to them.
“I am always wanting to play here, I love the area, I have some great mates here so it was very easy.”
