Recommitted Marcus Bontempelli [signed for four years]

AFL should give gcs $12m cash and let them lure Bont as an ambassador of the AFL. $12m for 5yrs. Get it done.

Nah.

Better to spend that sort of money on a younger bloke, like Will Ashcroft.

 

[Cyclops]

Bont rule needed. Any 20 cent pieces sent in by kids aren't counted under the cap.

We all know Bont is one of the good things in footy. More power to his arm.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

They are by not being paid. There’s not many at the Dogs screaming high pay. Naughton, Richards, Bont and ?

Darcy one day but he is locked away

The club has no doubt forgotten to leave any money available for Bont.

Might be trying to get him a part time gig as a Cotton On designer...good hourly rate, I believe.

English?

 

[BulldogMuscle]

1.4 for 4 is what I'm hearing

 

[Daka]

His legacy imo would be tarnished imo if he left the Dogs.

I just can't see it happening.

Is that your opinion?

Wonder which club is in his ear. I'm sure someone's dangling a $2M+ deal since they can get him for free.

Jamarra’s reported wish to join fallen giant revealed; Bont’s ‘bizarre’ saga no one can explain: Whispers

Troubled star’s wish to join fallen giant revealed; ‘Bizarre’ Bont saga goes on — Trade Whispers

www.foxsports.com.au

According to Fox Footy reporter Jon Ralph, the unrestricted free agent superstar is still yet to begin official talks with the Western Bulldogs in a move that to some, makes little to no sense.

“He still hasn’t spoken to the football club about wanting to commence talks,” Ralph told Midweek Tackle on Tuesday night.

“(His) café is done, the rehabilitation is done. He is still an unrestricted free agent out there, but again, all I can say is that the Bulldogs say he’s in regular talks with his management – he’s just not ready to ‘talk turkey’ yet.

“I don’t think anyone out there can really explain why this delay has now gone into June.”

Co-panellist and veteran Herald Sun journalist Glenn McFarlane added: “It’s bizarre, isn’t it?”

There is no expectation or belief throughout the AFL landscape that the 29-year-old will move elsewhere at season’s end, however his lack of pen to paper at the mid-season point is certainly intriguing.

We had one ITK on our board a few weeks back said that saints have offered 2.2 million a year.

Two more ITK have said the deal is done and that we is staying and they have always been on current with the info they pass on

Then you have the media saying their has been no discussion on a new contract

Yes but what are the OoTK's saying?

 

[mattwa]

He's staying will be announced soon

 

[Milanista28]

He's Mr Footscray, can't see him leaving. They'll still be talking about him in 100 years time.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

To be fair Bont never rushed any of his deals

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Yes but what are the OoTK's saying?

He wants to join Geelong to work on his farming capabilities post career ive heard

 

[THE_GUN]

He's staying will be announced soon

$6 mil for 4 years
done

I'd be annoyed at the Saints management if they weren't talking to him.

But there is zero chance he leaves the Dogs.

$6 mil for 4 years

i even chipped in my 2 shift a week casual job wage! so add that extra $600 a week xx

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Yes but what are the OoTK's saying?

I'm OoTK and I have it on my substantial authority that he's staying

 

[The Nostradamus]

surely they keep him

A mil a year min for 3 years my guess

 

[THE_GUN]

surely they keep him

A mil a year min for 3 years my guess

Bont on a mil a year ?
Would be more like $1.4

 

[The Nostradamus]

Bont on a mil a year ?
Would be more like $1.4

1.3-1.4 would be what teams would offer

Usually take less to stay

Maybe 1.1-1.2
