Everyone wanting Bonts to sign needs to relax a little bit. He already showed his faith in the club last year by re-committing for another two years, meaning we have him for 3 YEARS, maybe towards the end of next year if his trajectory remains unchanged he will be offered a significant lifetime contract and the captaincy of our football club. We cannot make that offer to him now, need to hold our fire!

I would be delighted if we could get the John Hancock's of Wallis, Wood and Talia this year, they are important cogs to worry about now, for the moment we can bask and enjoy Bonts, String, Macrae, Boyd and not stress that they'll be leaving.

Life is good at the moment Doggies fans!

I love Bont but I think we just signed the next "best player in the league". Jake will be special.
How good is it to think we could have three 192cm+ jets lining up in the midfield over the next decade? I have no doubt we have the best young talent in the league outside of expansion. I like Stringer up forward more, but jeez, he's the bloke you want in the center square with five minutes left in a final.

Just need Hrovat, Hunter and Smith to kick on now.

Amazing what can happen in the space of 5 months, a bit like Brisbane last year. There weren't any more wheels to fall off in late October, now there is no room for the spare tyre.

Go u mighty bulldogs, i have never been so optimistic about the future of the club than i am right now, well done to all involved who have turned it around .

I'm aware that it is only Round 1, but is our young talent not as good as the expansion clubs? Perhaps from a depth perspective. BUT, outside of O'Meara (Suns - sorry to see him injured) and Cameron (Giants) ... would anyone swap McCrae, Bont, Boyd or Stringer for one of their players?

Terrific news for the club, but terrible news for Caro and Jack Nail. Both like a few media types questioned how the club we're going to pay these gun young players. Even Jay Clark's first paragraph after Saturday nights good showing was about how are we going to remunerate Jake Stringer. Seriously find a new narrative FFS!!!!

Two of our brightest young talents signed on.
A big middle finger to the media and its repetitive "they'll lose players to afford Boyd" crap.
Gave me a reason to find a JLaw gif.

Brilliant.
