Recommitted Harry McKay [re-signed to 2023]

[__Bobcat__]

No such thing as a War Chest.

Also it's pretty obvious that Richmond's supporter 'Intel' was clearly a lie/trolling both sets of supporters. (Most amusing so many got sucked in)

He is staying at Carlton, loves the place and his teammates.

The Blues are having another list clean out at end of the season with the likes of Murphy, SPS, Dow, Lob and at least 3 more players either retiring/traded or delisted.

We can and will pay him what is management wants, 2 years that will take him into Free Agency.

The Blues will have enough spare for Zach Merrett too..

BOOO YEAHHHH..

Very rare a player like Harry McKay leaves a club that drafted him with a top pick and developed and payed him well to leave

It would have to be a 'Monster Offer' for him to leave

How daring are North & Essendon prepared to be ?

$1 mil a year is not going to get him to leave as carlton's offer will also be around that range and if pushed will pay that

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Signing for 2 years which most would agree is the smart move. Repays faith shown from club in him. Takes him to free agency aswell and if Carlton haven't turned the corner who could blame him for leaving then.

2 year deal. Blues fans should be upset?

Good expected result for Carlton. Now to get Curnow back on the park to help him.

Why? Takes him to free agency which every player in his position would do? Would be dum to sign for longer

 

[Great8]

Was never in doubt. Smartly played by Harry and his manager. Can absolutely extract every last cent out them at FA time and if by the end of those 2 years Carlton are still in the doldrums he can look elsewhere

Personally if I were offered >$1m per year with the security of a longer term contract I would take that at his age. You'd basically set yourself up for life and could have another tilt at free agency at age 28/29. Essentially getting free agency money before you're eligible for free agency.

Would have loved if he agreed to North's offer but the blues have done well here I reckon. If things aren't working the way they intended in a couple years they'll get a bloody decent compo pick for him.

He's joking, the quoted poster made a fool of himself in the Ben McKay thread by claiming a 2 year deal was bad for the Roos.

2 years for Harry and the Blues is the best outcome for both, well done by Carlton to get the deal done despite North and Essendon throwing the cheque book at him.

 

[burge13]

Ok, this just about sums up where you head is at. Anyone else honestly believe that North are ahead of Carlton in their rebuild? Honestly.

TBF Carlton have been rebuilding for 15 years so they should be ahead

 

[SurreyBlue]

See ya in 2 years North fans. Good luck with your next big fish.

You must not have read the Ben McKay thread. It’s your turn now….

Ahh okay went right over my head then hahahah

I don't think so. 2 years is fine.

200cm+ Key forwards don't have a storied history in the game, so I'd be happy to see how he goes as a Carlton supporter.

 

[BlueDay]

He is almost certainly going to North. From a source close to Carlton.

And i dislike north as much as Carlton so i dont care if people want to meltdown. Watch what happens.

Anyone home?

Signs on not less than 3 days later.

Looks like the North warchest is now headed Bolton’s way.

 

[PostPaolo]

Just give him the 800k McGovern is on a year at the end of 2023 when both their deals end.

You do know you’re replying to a Tiger poster and no level headed Roo fan thought he was leaving the Blues?

Harry McKay will be on SEN at 10.45 am today...for those interested ..

Yeah I do. But will be good for the game when you guys walk Bolton to the PSD

Good interview. Spoke very well. Seems like a good steady headed bloke.

Also glad he mentioned the brother thing.
One thing that really sh*ts me about Bigfooty is the ridiculous assumption that brothers want to play together.
Its utter nonsense. These are professional adults. Not auskickers.

He said something along the lines of "we spent enough time together for 18 years, not sure we want to spend any more time together and wed probably fight".

Like that mischievous Richmond poster, I think some of you North fans were just enjoying winding us up
