Re: Player Contract Status

Bevo made it really clear we need Tim to play ruck this year, so it may have just been him being a bit unhappy that he wasn't able to play in the position he wanted.

Not a big deal.

Re: Player Contract Status

It's contract talk, it is the contract thread after all...

Sorry no offence intended. Just seems like a media beatup to me that players are leaving because they haven't signed for next year before round 1 of this year has even started

DOGS GUN SET FOR BIG DEAL


WESTERN Bulldogs star Jack Macrae is closing in on a new long-term deal that will take him off the free agency list.


The gun midfielder, who loomed as one of the Dogs' priority re-signings this year, is understood to be edging towards a contract extension of likely four or five more seasons.


Macrae, 27, was elevated to be the Bulldogs' vice-captain for this season after three consecutive years in the Therabody AFL All-Australian team and was last year the competition's leading ball-winner. He was also named the Gary Ayres Medallist last year as the best player of the finals.


His phenomenal consistency has seen him play 185 games since joining the Dogs as the No.6 pick at the 2012 NAB AFL Draft, with his 200th game set for 2022.

Macrae was a key player in the Dogs' breakthrough 2016 premiership and his impending signature will lock him in to the club long-term as it strives to claim another flag with its current strong list, and he said in February he was keen to be a one-club player.


"It's no secret how much I love the club and how proud I am to represent this club every week. I obviously want to retire as a Western Bulldogs player," Macrae said in February.

He deserves a pay hike and a long deal.

Western Bulldogs vice-captain Jack Macrae is set to finish his career as a one-club player after signing a five-year contract extension, keeping the midfielder at the Club until at least the end of the 2027 season.

The 27-year-old has become one of the most prominent midfielders in the game, claiming his third straight All-Australian jacket and the Gary Ayres Medal in 2021.

Drafted to the Club at pick six in 2012, Macrae has already carved out a decorated career, playing 185 games for the Western Bulldogs, including a premiership in 2016.

That's the easy one out of the way, the hard work is ahead for Sam now.

Yep... whilst it's great news to lock down Jacko for an extended period, he really was an easy kill and we all know that the signatures of Tim, Baz & Dunks is how Sam earns his $$.

Such a gun. I even think we underrate him.

Re: Player Contract Status

Good stuff. Never in doubt but also of the guys out of contract was likely (or at least should be) the biggest financial domino to fall.

Do Baz next.
