I'm going to hurt someone soon
Whoops good call
Haha, so many to keep up with. You'd think the cap will have risen by then, to offset the raise in his asking price anyway, although I suspect JJ and Jake are a package deal. They are inseparable, so as long as one is at the Dogs, I'm sure the other will remain.
Jong will resign with Bulldogs, nobody that I know at the club thinks he is leaving, storm in a tea cup.
Move on to the next one boys.

I'm happy to play him when required for the rest of the season. But he is in my opinion first on the list now to be traded. I don't care if he doesn't go but the club has no reason to be loyal to him. He has shown where he stands so the club can decide who to deal with and what for. Just get the best deal you can for him JMac.
If he stays, so be it. But no longer a favourite for me....just a soldier to be used when required.

This happens a bit but to do a tour of facilities during the season is bizarre. Basically comes down to having a hack manager. Can't change your DNA I guess

Bevo said his contract offer is two years, not one.
Well, I guess we now know where the Coach and Football Department stand on Jong.
Western Bulldog Lin Jong weighs two-year offer to stay at Whitten Oval
Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge has revealed Lin Jong has a two-year contract offer on the table to stay at the club, and did so at the time he toured Collingwood's facilities.
News that Jong met with Magpies coach Nathan Buckley at the club's headquarters has caused heated debate in AFL circles.
With both Collingwood and the Bulldogs seeming to go back and forth on the issue of how appropriate it is to meet a player from another team on club premises, Beveridge is now hopeful the midfield utility will sign the contract extension.
"Jongy's probably not far away from saying to us, 'I want to sign on the dotted line' or, 'nah, I want to wait'," Beveridge said.
"It's a two-year offer, it's not a one-year offer.
"We love Jongy. We think he makes valuable contributions and he's only going to improve so he's a really important player for us. We don't want to lose him."
The 23-year-old has played just 31 games for the Bulldogs, averaging 15 disposals and two clearances.
The fact Jong had an offer on the table from the Bulldogs at the time he visited Collingwood adds intrigue to the situation and leaves the Bulldog with a difficult decision to make in the coming weeks.
"The only thing that surprised me is where the meeting was," Beveridge said on Tuesday.
"I think Collingwood [should] go for their life and Jongy's well within his rights to have a meeting but as I said, you've just got to keep it secret."
While Beveridge said he's not angry the meeting took place, he was clearly unhappy the matter became public.
"There's no double standards here, we'd do it as well but we just wouldn't do it here.
"We wouldn't do it at the Whitten Oval because you've got to keep it behind closed doors and make sure it doesn't get out, that's common practice."

Do the coach and football department know nothing about football?

I am confident he will re-sign. Apparently his dad was overseas in China when his visit to Collingwood was made, and his dad was furious, the whole family are big Bulldogs people. I think his manager might have been using the pies as leverage in the contract negotiations.

Absolute joke
Yeh I know - he should be offered a third year Mattdougie, but in times like these we need to be frugal.

Buckley was interviewed on MMM about this.He was very upfront about what happened.He also made it very clear they were very interested in Jong because he is quick, strong, is a good height and hard at the ball. He also suggested he is having a very good season.
Perhaps their scouts (who have full times roles and are in the business of scrutinising opposition lists nad identifying talent and opportunities to enhance their lists) don't scrutinise players as closely as some who rate Jong as a spud?
I wouldn't have Jong in the top 25 of our list, however no club has a full list of elite players.
