Bont's body language didn’t scream I hate it here and I’m moving last night. Surely stays…especially if Butters comes across
Watching the Swans-Port game, partner (Cats fan :mad: ) says, "That number 9 for Port is pretty good."
I said, "He'll be playing for the Dogs next year."
 
Having watched a bit of Caleb Daniel play this year in different colours and Jack Macrae last night it has eased the pain of losing Premiership players. As great as they were for us we are now a better structured side without them
I was very against trading both of them, but it was def the right move. Macrae is still an very good AFL level midfielder but our team needed Richards and Frieja in the guts.

Happy to be wrong.

Very sad they couldn’t finish as Bulldogs, but both the right call.

Kennedy has already matched Macrae’s 5 goals from 19 games last season, while being very little of a downgrade in the midfield. At a significant discount.

Caleb just didn’t have a position with us any more. His best footy the last couple of years was probably in the midfield, where we didn’t need him. Getting pick 25 for him and his entire contract off the books was amazing.

We’ve all gone from worried to settled about our long term midfield.

Richards, Freijah & Sanders could very well be elite on its own. It’s much easier to find supporting pieces around the core group.
 
Got some news.....

Ed Richards Done, or atleast in principle. Will come out soon.

Butters- very confident he wants to come home to the kennel.

Marra- Will be stood done as early as this week if things progress rapidly, but i think it comes down to afl letting us.

Bevo- will be done soon.

Bont-still someway off re-signing. Expected to stay, but is squeezing us. Has huge offers on the table from elsewhere. (Think marra being let go and Bevo staying will make him happy)
When I read the first three words... Ed Richards done.... I nearly had a heart attack.. .
 
Wouldn’t impact this year but considering we’ll have a few picks we could look at bringing in another developing tall - Floyd Burmeister 200cm ruck / forward has started the season well as an overager with the rebels. Great mover, huge leap.
I'd draft him just for his name alone. Who knows if we would ever get another chance at having a Floyd play for us.

He is getting married soon, probably kids on the horizon, you can’t blame him for wanting to get the most out of what is left of his career. Give him whatever he wants.
 
Think Bont has anything he wants to do after footy from the club and the media on the table. Whether he wants to coach or do special comments or something im sure he will be fine

I've never got the impression that Bont was money oriented as such.
Bont as been on $1m plus the last 4-6 years surely, at what point does an extra $150k per year matter ? He will get his fair whack when he signs again with us, probably $1.3- $1.5m per year for 3+ and go down as one of the clubs greats if not the greatest

Yeah I wonder what’s the difference we’re talking here.

I’d happily move on someone random 22-28 player to find an extra $250k if that’s what it took.
