Recommitted Jack Macrae [re-signed until 2027]

[The Nostradamus]

Was surprised to see he is an unrestricted free agent so he can walk to anyone.

28 next year and very durable so still should have many years left.

premiership player already and will be close to getting another next year will he chase a pay day for 2023 onwards?

 

[adonski]

Off to the Swans as per AFL Trade Whisperer™

 

[La Dispute]

Would he take up a big offer at Collingwood to join his brother?

Already has a flag, if the Dogs win another one this year I could see the appeal of jumping ship to spend the last part of his career playing with and mentoring Finlay.

The Pies get an immediate Pendlebury replacement and Jack is young enough to be around when they are contending again

Not sure Jack will play into his 40's.

 

[La Dispute]

Not sure Jack will play into his 40's.

On the plus side I'm sure the Pies will be happy to send him back and pay his salary if he starts playing too well

 

[Golden_6]

Not concerned about losing him. I expect the deal will be done with minimal fuss early to mid season. Maybe a little longer as we juggle a lot of out of contract stars.

Will now sign a 4 year contract in the next month

 

[WillHayward]

Strikes me as the type of bloke who re signs with minimal fuss .
I'd be shocked if he switched clubs.

Do you think you will sign everybody or do you think somebody will need to go to fit inside the cap?

I think we’ll keep all the major stars and lose the second tier guys like JJ & McLean etc.

Must teams in the window lose secondary players.

 

[Golumless]

Must teams in the window lose secondary players.

It's inevitable, after all, the only way players have a long career is to actually be in a best 22, on top of money and outer opportunities.

 

[Masked Magician]

I would love to offer him a 4 year deal to play with his brother but I feel that he is a dogs man through and through.

 

[CrazyJoeFevola]

No chance he leaves. He's as Footscray as a Banh Mi.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Just been made VC.

 

[Libbaaaa]

Will sign another 4 year deal before round 1, book it.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Will sign another 4 year deal before round 1, book it.

You sound confident

 

[Testekill]

I can't imagine that he'd become part of the leadership group in his final year if he wasn't set on staying.

 

[weltschmerz]

He’s an introverted bugger. Reckon he’s going to sign before the season so that he doesn’t have to answer the bloody phone calls from recruiters.

 

[McOrist]

He was at Victoria Park watching Collingwood training on Saturday.
...just sayin'.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Yea so what he was watching his brother train

 

[McOrist]

Yea so what he was watching his brother train

...and his good mate Pat Lipinski.

 

[Bulldogs85]

...and his good mate Pat Lipinski.

More like ex team mate

 

[conrad_437]

...and his good mate Pat Lipinski.

I'm sure jack would fancy leaving a club with a 5 year flag tilt, in his prime no less, on a big contract, to join a basket case for a 10-20% higher contract. Oh, and to play with his good mate Pat Lipinski.
