Memo to Garlick/Fantasia/Macca/Macca - Sign Minson Now

[Bornadog]

If we don't sign Will up and he leaves, I will personally start up a campaign to oust the Board. I am sick and tired as a Bulldog supporter losing some great players over the years. Minson is our only ruckman that can compete at the highest level, the rest are all babies with potential but won't be there for at least another two to three years.

I would give him a three year contract.

I agree but I hope Minson wants to stay with us as much as we should want to keep him.

Your thread title might be missing another Macca.

Re: Memo to Garlick/Fantasia/Macca - Sign Minson Now

If they don't offer Minson a new contract it will be disappointing as he is an experienced player which is important to guide the inexperienced youngsters. If he doesn't get offered a new contract do you reckon bornadog we should go for Macintosh from North Melbourne for a ruck man.

Would we really be that much worse off without him?

Probably not. I don't want to lose Will either but 4 doesn't go into 1 or 1.5. If we keep Will on can we afford to keep all of Roughead, Cordy and Campbell and more importantly would they want to stay if they're played so sparingly?

No MJP and that's my point. I'm ok if we offer him another contract, let's noy pay overs for him.
After the year is out his rating as a player will be at the highest it has ever been.

Yes we would.

Re: Memo to Garlick/Fantasia/Macca/Macca - Sign Minson Now

Yes we would.

How, he had 54 hit outs last night and what was our clearance rate?

Will is a vital player and does not take a step backwards. I mirror the sentiment of this thread. If we lose him, I will be on the warpath.

54 hit outs with 30% that went to advantage compared to 19 Carlton team hit outs at 11%.
5 kicks 11 handballs 2 marks 7 contested possessions, 9 uncontested 4 clearances. 2 inside 50s 1 tackle 2 intercept possessions 2 critical errors 1 free for and 1 against

Pointing out the obvious saying I don't think we lost the game because of him.
ATM Campbell can't ruck 2 quarters let alone 4.
I haven't seen Roughead get anywhere near those figures yet.

Pretty clear cut not having him is a huge hole to fill.
But I guess when you want him out for the last 5 years it isn't

Vital because of what he does on the field or for us taking a stand off of it.

I like Will but I'm not sure if we lost him it'd be catastrophic from an on field perspective. Certainly less so than losing Ward and Harbrow.

So you think Roughead and Campbell will be better? I
I think Will is worth more to us than whatever compensation pick the AFL would send our way.

MJP does not believe we would be that much worse off either, fair to say I agree with him.
I wanted you out the last 5 years, does not necessarily mean it is going to happen.

How can you say that when you do not know what the compensation is going to be? If we rate him, we will offer him a decent contract, if someone rates him higher they will offer him more.
As a result, our compensation as I understand it should be in line with the best offer.
