Nate Caddy has extended his stay with Essendon, re-signing for a further three years to take his tenure through to 2031.
And while the move appears to be one sought over pure loyalty, a slip of the tongue by Caddy's father, Saul, could tell a different story.
The three-year extention will reportedly see Caddy earning around $1.5 million per year over the duration of the contract; a sum that feels relatively tame given his potential stardom within that five-year stretch.
However, Tom Morris has stated that's it's the 21-year-old's loyalty and love for Essendon that renders the finances irrelevant.
“He is fully committed – he is the sort of guy that is just all in and just loves the club, even though since he last re-signed in June of 2025, they’ve won one game and lost 17.
Budding Essendon superstar Nate Caddy doesn’t mind who his next coach his — James Hird or someone else — he’s all in for the Bombers’ long road back from the doldrums of the AFL ladder.
He also doesn’t know who it will be — which, by extension, he stresses, means neither does his dad.

Former local footy legend Saul Caddy — brother of Richmond premiership player Josh — made headlines last week for pre-emptively announcing at a Hurstbridge Football Club sportsman’s function that his son had re-committed to Essendon beyond his already existing contract, which didn’t expire until the end of 2028.
Essendon forward Nate Caddy has opened up on his decision to recommit to Essendon until the end of 2031.
Speaking on 7 News, explained that he was in it for the long haul and is confident about the foundation being established at Essendon.
"A player from another club might wonder why or be more attracted to the offer because of someone showing a bit of faith," Caddy said on Wednesday night.
"In The Hangar, there's all the premiership cups and there's one that says '17' with dot, dot, dot waiting there so I'm waiting for the day that I can be the one to lift that cup."

The film is utterly incurious about the King of Pop’s psychological development, personality and contradictions — the things that made him human.
After I watched “Michael,” the new Jackson estate-approved biopic that follows the King of Pop from his youth in Gary, Indiana, until he proclaims his independence from his notoriously imperious father in 1984, I took the New York subway home.
I could not stop thinking about Jordan Neely, a homeless Michael Jackson impersonator, who was in the middle of a mental health crisis aboard an MTA train on May 1, 2023. He died after Daniel Penny, a white U.S. Marine veteran, placed him in a chokehold. On the way home from the movie, I could not stop thinking about what we lose by choosing to turn away from ugly, difficult truths rather than engage them, and what we lose when we reject introspection.

Michael Jackson's biopic is "definitely" at the centre of talks for a sequel, actor Effie Spence says.
Spence, who portrays Liza Minnelli in the newly released film about the pop superstar, made the admission as she praised its lead Jaafar Jackson for a "sublime" portrayal of his uncle.
"I think there's definitely kind of talk for there being a second film," she told Page Six.
At an early screening of âMichael,â the new bio-pic based on the life of Michael Jackson, there was silence for a moment after the credits rolled, and then someone exclaimed, âThat was fucking awesome!â It was a good omen, although in fairness this was not an unbiased audience. A couple of dozen people had gathered at a sound stage on the Universal Studios lot, in California, for some last-minute trouble-shooting, and so everyone in the room was invested in the filmâs success.
âMichaelâ was designed to be an international crowd-pleaserâthe kind of film that executives hope will drag audiences away from their small screens and deposit them in front of big ones, where they can watch and sing along and even dance, if theatres permit it. There was no dancing on this night, unless you counted the projected receipts waltzing through the minds of the people involved. The movieâs lead producer is Graham King, an Englishman who also produced âBohemian Rhapsody,â about the rock band Queen, which made more than nine hundred million dollars at the box office upon its release, in 2018. King has been working ever since then to bring a Michael Jackson film to theatres, and now only technicalities remained. He suggested that the crowd noise be increased during one of the concert scenes. (The movie has lots of concert scenes.) âThose of us that have been lucky enough to be at a Michael concert, it was fucking chaos,â he said. âYou want to feel that.â

By mandating that his football team be sold to fund multiple charitable causes, late Seahawks owner Paul Allen exhibited a generosity that we should hope other billionaires, sports owners or otherwise, follow.
UPDATE (Feb. 8, 2026, 10:25 p.m. ET): On Sunday night, the Seattle Seahawks easily defeated the New England Patriots by a score of 29-13 to earn their second championship in franchise history.
There’s almost no good time for a sports fanatic to hear about the potential sale of their team, but it’s hard to imagine a worse time to hear it than right after that team earns a trip to the Super Bowl. So it is, though, for Seattle Seahawks fans, who have likely heard the whispers that whether their team wins or loses the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots on Sunday, the franchise could be put up for sale.
The family resemblance was unmistakable for any Seattle Seahawks or Portland Trail Blazers fan, but the name was different.
When Jody Allen raised the Lombardi Trophy after the Seahawks' 29-13 domination of the New England Patriots on Feb. 8, it was reasonable that fans of a certain age flashed back to when Jody's brother, longtime Seahawks and Blazers owner and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, did the same 12 years ago.
Jody Allen, 67, is chair of the Seahawks, which are owned by the Paul G. Allen Trust, the entity to manage the estate of Paul Allen, who died on Oct. 15, 2018, after a battle with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Here's what to know about the Allens and ownership of the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks will soon appear in the Super Bowl. But who owns the team?
Super Bowl 60 takes place Feb. 8 between the Seahawks and New England Patriots.
The Patriots have a well-known owner, Robert Kraft. Meanwhile, the Seahawks' ownership is unconventional compared to some other teams in the NFL.
The Seahawks are owned by the Paul G. Allen Trust, the estate of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. Allen bought the Seahawks in 1997, according to ESPN, and remained the owner until he died in 2018. Allen's sister, Jody Allen, is the trustee and executor of the estate and is in control of the team.

A proposed billionaire wealth tax in California is sparking debate over whether the measure, if passed, would lead to more harm than good if ultrawealthy residents in the state flee to other locales.
Under the proposed ballot initiative, California would institute a one-time tax of 5% on the state's estimated 255 billionaires. While wealth taxes aren't new, the proposal has sparked pushback from some of America's richest citizens and their allies, who claim it could drive the state's billionaires to leave the state and discourage entrepreneurs from creating businesses.
By contrast, advocates of the tax emphasize that billionaires' fortunes are growing much faster than the income of ordinary Americans.

The fiery debate about a proposed ballot measure to tax California’s billionaires has sparked some soul-searching across the state.
While the idea of a one-time tax on more than 200 people has a long way to go before getting onto the ballot and would need to be passed by voters in November, the tempest around it captures the zeitgeist of angst and anger at the core of California. Silicon Valley is minting new millionaires while millions of the state’s residents face the loss of healthcare coverage and struggle with inflation.
