Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
If you were at the game on Friday night 700K doesn't seem too far fetched for JJ. He was brilliant, really disappointing we haven't got it done yet.Comment

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
He has a norm smith medal in his favour though, his profile has risen dramatically as a use for sponsors and his footy is getting better.
A great chance Morris Boyd and Murphy will be gone next year. we be mad to let him go.
I have no doubt he wants to stay but managers trying to get the best deal.
The problem is how big is the difference others will offer .. This free agency and restricted free agency along with a salary cap is supposed to even up the competition not take away icons of clubs and restrict a way of paying off debt.
Lets face it JJ could be a commercial dream and huge advertisement for the club like the Bont is plastered everywhere at the moment.Bring back the biffComment

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
I remember how JJ used to say his family over here was Stringer, wife and kids. He was very close to them. Now that family has broken up I wonder how JJ feels.Comment

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
We cant give him a huge contract on the back of one game though, a game which most of us thought he wasnt the BOG. We still have to have a wage structure that allows us to keep 'all' our players happy and have a successful/strong side.
If an individual wants more they we can afford than i hope we help them on their way, no matter who it is. Team comes first.The curse is dead.Comment

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
Not bothered by the delay to be honest. I just want him to do the best he can this year and hopefully win another Norm Smith and premiership. In any event it is out of our control if his management want to wait until season's end, which is their absolute right. Can't blame him at all for wanting to wait until the end of the season before making a decision - it is the way of the modern era now.
Worst case scenario is that he requests a trade at the end of the year - we will get a very nice future return on our speculative 2010 rookie pick investment. I much prefer we keep him and hope this happens."Look at me mate. Look at me. I'm flyin'"Comment

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
From his pov what's the benefit to signing now?
If he waits to the end of the season, barring some freak injury his value is only going to go up. It gives him the ability to play off the highest offers he has received against eachother, and he can really weigh up his options and how he feels about changing clubs.
I'd prefer he was already signed up, but he absolutely has every right to get the most out of his next contract. And having said all that, we are still in the box seat.I should leave it alone but you're not rightComment

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
He's a player we can't afford to lose as he is probably the only one with genuine leg speed who can break the lines. I'm willing to offer up my 23 year old daughter to keep JJ in Melbourne. She's attractive and a fanatical Bulldogs member. Who should I contact at the club?I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.Comment
