WBFC - Player Contract Status

Geez if that Tom Boyd mega contract doesn't get a scalp soon I'll offer myself up.

I wonder how far the club and Dahl are apart on contract length? I'm guessing Dahl might want 4 years and the club may only want to give him 2? I reckon 3 years would be a fair term.

Devils advocate, say you're right. The gap is just a tiny year. By letting the media promote that there's a chance for clubs to get him, might we be seeing what unofficial chats come into Sam Power's sphere. And maybe the debate internally, is not just the third year, but whether there's some first round compo in a super draft? Then it's a much bigger decision. Being the DA of course.

I think a 3 year term on reasonable coin is fair. He would be 28 when that expires and there would be the genuine possibility of him getting another good contract then if he plays consistently well during the next contract term.

If he's looking for a longer term or JJ type money then I think he will, and should have, a problem with the club. I don't think his form since 2016 warrants a huge contract. If another club offers it then he would have to consider it. Carlton and Essendon might be willing? If so, we may benefit greatly from the compensation.

In any case, i hope everyone is sensible and he stays.

THE Western Bulldogs have made contact with Marcus Bontempelli regarding extending his contract beyond 2019, with the club describing the initial talks as “pleasing”.

Bontempelli will be a free agent at the end of next season, with the Bulldogs understandably keen to lock away the young star before he enters the final year of his contract.
The Dogs have been proactive in ensuring the talented 22-year-old extends his stay at the Kennell, with chief executive Ameet Bains providing an update on his status on Wednesday.

“Sam Power, our head of list and recruiting, has been in contact with (Bontempelli’s manager) Tom Petroro and discussions continue to bubble along,” Bains told RSN’s Breakfast Club.

“The most pleasing part of that, regardless of how long it takes from here, is that there’s an intent to get it done. That’s a great reflection of where the club’s at and where it’s going.”

Bontempelli missed last weekend’s clash with Gold Coast due to a hip injury, with the gun midfielder still touch and go as to whether he’ll be fit for the side’s Round 8 clash.

The Dogs face the Lions at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night, with the club likely to play it safe with Bontempelli should he not make it through Thursday’s final training session.

“He needs to get through training on Thursday, but Bevo said at his press conference that it won’t be a sit-and-wait decision like it was last week,” Bains said.

“If he doesn’t train fully on Thursday, he won’t play. But we are hopeful that he’ll get through.”
