Re: Wood signs contract extension

Western Bulldogs vice-captain Easton Wood has agreed to terms on a contract extension that will keep him at VU Whitten Oval until at least the end of the 2020 season.


The 27-year-old Wood was set to be a free agent at the end of 2018, but instead recommitted to the Club for a further two years on top of his current deal.


Western Bulldogs List Manager Jason McCartney told westernbulldogs.com.au that people like Wood are what football clubs are all about.


“I can’t speak highly enough of Easton as a player and as an individual,” McCartney said.


“On the field he’s athleticism and intercept marking abilities are elite and he rarely gets beaten in a one-on-one contest.


“And off the field, he’s obviously a key member of our group. He had big shoes to fill last season, stepping in as captain for Rob Murphy, and he couldn’t have handled it better.


”He loves the Club, and we’re really pleased he’s chosen to extend his contract this early.”


Wood arrived at the Bulldogs via a third round selection (43rd overall) in the 2007 AFL National Draft, and has since played 122 games after debuting in Round 19, 2009 against the West Coast Eagles.


The Camperdown product is the tenth player to have signed new deals this season, with Wood joining Jason Johannisen, Kieran Collins, Lewis Young, Patrick Lipinski, Clay Smith, Marcus Adams, Tim English, Bailey Williams and Fletcher Roberts to have re-signed in 2017

This is a good move. Wood rose to the occasion last year as acting Captain and provides the leadership qualities to be an outstanding ambassador for the Club. This would have to be our most significant signing of all the new deals.

Yep ask Barrett and while your asking him make sure your holding Toms premiership medal and also have the membership figures including the debt reduction records since we signed him.

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status

Stevo reporting Redpath has a one year contract in front of him, with a games trigger to extend another year. He hasn't signed it and Carlton are interested in him and may depend on what Casboult does.

I just posted I suspected this with Carlton getting good free agency compo on Casboult and then using a nothing pick to get Redpath. Nothing because player values have hit an all time low.

My gut says Redpath will stay.

I'm surprised he hasn't signed it. If I had a history of knee injuries I'd be signing before anything could go wrong. Touch wood nothing does for him.

Strong speculation that Cloke might call it a day. That would strengthen Redpath staying

Really? Ripping up his contract?

I heard that too but I also heard it was BS. Right now he's better than nothing so I hope he sees out his contract. Although if if did call it a day it would force us in another direction where we might find a diamond rough.
