    Re: Player Contract Status

    A Bulldog great obviously, but I won't be surprised if we're looking back on this at the end of 2022 and thinking it was at least a year too long.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Clearly it is dependent on $$ but he keeps experience around the club.

    Contract could be dependent on games played etc and we just don't know that detail.

    Having Wood occupy a list spot should not impede us.

    One year would be an insult. Deserves two years

    So long as he's used exclusively as our clamp-down defender on the opposition's most dangerous small forwards, I'm cool with this. We don't exactly have great options for this role and he's proven to be good at it. There are plenty of very dangerous small forwards in all the top 8 teams from this year - he'll have plenty of match ups to concentrate on.

    Plenty of +30 year old players sign year to year contracts. Bachar Houli signed a 1 year contract last year, will sign another soon, is that an insult? Unfortunately the end can come quickly. Perhaps a trigger for a second year would have been a middle ground.

    I agree, for whatever reasons with injury etc, Easton is certainly not the player he was in 2016. I would’ve said a one year contract with a 2nd to be triggered if he played half the games.
    I will never see #16 the same!!

    True, but he is a premiership captain, something we haven't had too may of.

    We need to be more ruthless than this. He will very likely just suck funds in 2022.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Thanks for the chuckle.

    Have you seen the state of our un-contracted players and heck even our contracted ones on 3+ year deals.....

    Seriously need to move on 11 of those out of contract players.
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    Re: Player Contract Status

    I've not been as critical of him as others, but he's probably a little fortunate to be getting two years. I guess when you're a premiership captain fortune such as this is more likely to be bestowed upon you.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    Being reported as a one year deal which is sensible given his injury history. He is due for a change of luck.

    The Bulldogs have a number of players still unclear on their futures, although Taylor Duryea is in talks for a new deal.
