    Surely the club now knows we want him to see this rebuild through to its conclusion, whatever that may be. Extend his contract by two years at season's end (giving him 2014, 2015 and 2016.)

    We are kidding ourselves if we think that McCartney isn't the right coach for us and also if we think he will not be an attractive proposition to other clubs.

    We'll sign a two year extension for less money now than we will this time next year.
    I agree. If Melbourne haven't spoken to him they all deserve to be shot.

      Spot on LongWait.

      Reading posters thoughts it just seems to me that the majority of posters aren't completely sold on macca & hence want to wait until mid next year. If the club does this then it says to me the club also are not completely sold on macca either.

      If the club know he is the man to take this club to its rightful position (on top of course) then they need to show macca they have confidence in him & offer him an extension. Not offering him an extension shows a lack of faith in what macca is doing & that is a big mistake.

      Posters mention 'well what if we do poorly next year?'. So what if we do! We are not a contender yet & we're still very young & inexperienced so we are still going to have to deal with inconsistencies with form.

      Why wouldn't the club be sold on him? After all they were sold on him enough to offer him a 3 year deal & he has done nothing during this period to prove them otherwise. Get it done PG!!!!!

        He has another year left on his contract, I'm not sure Melbourne can wait that long.

          Just wondering if Brad Hardie has written any further articles about the club since his article in May which can be summarised as - sack the coach, get Mark Williams, clear out the place and fill it with ex-bulldogs players - football department and administration.

            Perhaps him and Dan Lonergan can write one together?

              I doubt it, he'll likely moved onto another club who's lost a few games in a row like St Kilda. His idea of how to fix them- sack the coach, get Mark Williams, clear out the place and fill it with ex-St Kilda players - football department and administration.

              Hardy has no idea, just a loud opinion.

                Nice to see the 'cracking in' jokes have disappeared too.

                  To be honest we should all wear it as a badge of honor.

                      Looks pretty silly now as 'cracking in' is one of our strengths.

                        That is my schtick you are bagging.
