2 yr extensions for both.
About right for Boyd. Would've thought maybe a 1 yr extension for Cross. But good to lock some blokes away.

The club has done well with these negotiations, Gia is only getting a one year extension and they are negotiating with Dahlhaus for a 3 year contract.

Cross is lucky to get 2 IMO.
Agree Gia should get 1, Dahl 3.
Cross should have been given 1 year, interesting that Gia will be given 1, given that it could be argued his form has been the equal if not better than Cross.
That said, I would have offered both of them 1 .
With a young midfield, and the money at GC and GWS we still need players off Boyd and Cross's experience, hardness and leadership. It's goign to be another two years at least until Libba, Wallis et al get up to the consistency needed of them.
Happy with those contracts. Heart and sole of the club those guys IMO.
Why would you give Cross one year? Same old arguments, because you don't like him as a player? He is 28 years old and one of the fittest in the team, regularly picks up over 25 disposals a game, but because you don't appreciate him you would give him a one year contract? Sorry doesn't make sense to me.

^^^ Agreed, with all the youngsters in the mix now we need the old heads around the club to help them out.
This is a great result so Gia remains the only player now out of contract is that right???
bulldogs are forever not just when they are winning
What a load of crap, I admire Cross's courage and his ability to get the best out of himself. He is one of the hardest trainiers at the club and always leading the time trials. Your suggestion that I think he should be only offered a 1 year contract (because you believe I did not like him is way off the mark).
Unfortunately his lack of pace along with his average disposal is a liability in a team that should be assembling a team that can play the modern game. I would not be surprised if Cross is playing the 2nd year at Williamstown.
