Bulldogs and big man Will Minson grapple with brave new world of free agency

Great News, love big Will.

[LostDoggy]

Good. Will be happier when it's official.

I'm pretty sure there will be something horribly wrong with the Minson deal and that Fantasia will be at fault.

Awesome work James, identifying that one of the best performed ruckman in the competition who in the prime of his career is worth offering a multi-year contract to while our babe-in-the-woods young rucks still can't run out of sight in a dark night. I'll quietly fist-pump once the deal is inked.

I know you do a lot of that....

Very glad to see this looks like it's all stitched up, Will is an important player and it would have been a disaster if he didn't sign.

[Murphy'sLore]

Woo-hoo. Would have been shattered if we'd lost big Will. Very happy to hear this news.

So re-signing one of the most important players on our list by your assessment to a multi-year contract is a good thing or a bad thing? I can't tell from this post.

I thought J-Mac was in charge of player contracts now...?

That's my understanding.

[Bulldog Revolution]

Great signing, would have been dreadful to lose him in his prime when we've been through a lengthy maturation process with the big guy

He is.

It's very good news. His form and age profile would suggest that he should have been one of the first players signed up. But anyway it appears as though he has eventually committed to the club so the end result is positive.

Has Will actually put pen to paper yet?

Bump.

What's going on down there ? How hard can it be to finalise a deal for our only current viable ruckman now in his prime ? Get it done Dogs or have we simply become that irrelevant in media circles that his signing doesn't warrant copy ? Hopefully an announcement Saturday night at the B&F.

Fair go - Will got back from South America yesterday sometime. His Manager has said that Will is going to sign and there has not been any speculation at all in the media about his free agency status.
