    Re: Player Contract Status

    It would be a big lift of energy having Marra's name taken off the list of 'gettable' players. Would love some official news soon on this one.

    To me the smart move is to get it done early in the season and to end all the speculation. This allows him to focus on his footy.
    If I was him I'd back it in for a 2 year deal and then sign the mega well beyond free agency with a fall back position to sign until FA.

    A two year deal is risky in it's own way. What if this year he got concussed 3 times? If he'd just signed a 4 year deal he has some income protected.

    4 years, then sign on as a Bulldog for life. This guy is critical to our post Bont (shudder) future.

    Re: Player Contract Status

    It is great news for us as well. We bloody need it after a very ordinary showing in Rd 1 and looking like another ordinary season. To have players leave is just a kick in the balls to us as fans. Keeping them here helps a lot. Good news to read from a very disgruntled fan.

    Re: Player Contract Status

    It wouldn't be of much a surprise to get both the Marra and Baz Smith deals done albeit for the short term and then would leave just English as one of the higher profile players to get done.
    The list managers role is getting more critical for football clubs and it certainly appears that Sam Power has a good handle on things.
