I'm pretty sure there will be something horribly wrong with the Minson deal and that Fantasia will be at fault.

Awesome work James, identifying that one of the best performed ruckman in the competition who in the prime of his career is worth offering a multi-year contract to while our babe-in-the-woods young rucks still can't run out of sight in a dark night. I'll quietly fist-pump once the deal is inked.

I know you do a lot of that....

Very glad to see this looks like it's all stitched up, Will is an important player and it would have been a disaster if he didn't sign.

Woo-hoo. Would have been shattered if we'd lost big Will. Very happy to hear this news.

So re-signing one of the most important players on our list by your assessment to a multi-year contract is a good thing or a bad thing? I can't tell from this post.

I thought J-Mac was in charge of player contracts now...?

That's my understanding.

Great signing, would have been dreadful to lose him in his prime when we've been through a lengthy maturation process with the big guy

He is.

It's very good news. His form and age profile would suggest that he should have been one of the first players signed up. But anyway it appears as though he has eventually committed to the club so the end result is positive.

Has Will actually put pen to paper yet?

Bump.

What's going on down there ? How hard can it be to finalise a deal for our only current viable ruckman now in his prime ? Get it done Dogs or have we simply become that irrelevant in media circles that his signing doesn't warrant copy ? Hopefully an announcement Saturday night at the B&F.

Fair go - Will got back from South America yesterday sometime. His Manager has said that Will is going to sign and there has not been any speculation at all in the media about his free agency status.

I disagree, deals such as this should've been closed off before we entered the October trade window. I think it looks poorly on the Club and just helps to perpetuate the 'battler' badge we need to work hard to throw off if we are to look an attractive suitor for player prospects, supporters and sponsors. The little things do add up.

An agreement was reached and announced weeks ago - Will just happened to be in South America at the time. He couldn't sign until he returned and nobody in the media is speculating that there is a problem.

Fair dinkum, the negativity on this site is endless and totally depressing.

One thing I'm not LW is generally negative towards the Club or Brendan but on this occasion I'm not supportive. Yours is a broad brush statement to all posters who may not agree with your point of view. What is depressing is extremists at either end of the spectrum who criticize a point of view because its not to their thinking or liking.
