McLeod Re-Signs! :)

[CrowBoi]

just saw on the news that a 3-year deal has been signed for him to play with us until the end of 2006!

Go Crows!

 

[DaveW]

Great news.

What's his salary rumoured to be?

I note that he'll probably be on the veterans list in 2006. I hope we haven't done anything stupid like backload the contract Essendon style.

 

[CrowBoi]

not sure of salary, but they said "The Crows are pleased with his loyalty, after he accepted the deal for less than what he may have received at another club...."

I think he's taken a cut of some sort...?

Dave, don't worry as Reidy isn't stupid! We keep our salaries in check at the Crows unlike some Victorian clubs.

Great news that Macca has signed on (probably for about $550K).

Now that burden has been lifted from his shoulders, he can get back to playing his best football - starting with the showdown.

Well that says a lot without saying anything.

 

[macca23]

Great stuff!! Exactly what the club needed this week.

My guess would be $550k as well Kane.

 

[napsyd]

GO CROWS!!

 

[CrowBoi]

I'm a man of few words

 

[lozstar]

ooh wonderful!
now he has no reason why the west end medal shouldn't be around his neck on sunday!

 

[maccas_no1]

Bunji Always in the Red.Gold and Blue Hoops

 

[beckybiglands]

thank christ.... i just hope now he plays like pure gold this weekend... and next weekend... and the next, and so on...

 

[tribey]

Hopefully now his future is assured we'll see slightly more from him than the sub-mediocre performances he's served up in recent weeks.

 

[Damp Squarie]

Yeah it is good news.

Whats his form like in the Showdowns; does anybody have an inkling?

Wwill he be released into the middle from bounce one? Farkin hope so...

 

[Stiffy_18]

Took him a bloody while but great news none the less.

I wouldn't think that AFC would have commited to more than $500k-$550K a year.

Hopefully now he can play some good footy not the ccrap that he and the rest of the side have been serving up lately.

 

[MarksGirl-kbcrowgirl]

yippeeee!!!!! Big kisses for Macca

I knew it would happen, he wasn't going anywhere - he bleeds red, gold & blue.

I heard Triggy on the radio tonight and he said he had heard rumours of $600 - $650 plus and said they were not true. He also said he hear rumours of $550 and said they were not true either. He said Andrew could have gone interstate and gotten bigger money - but all credit to him - loyalty is more important than money.

Watch out for the performanace of a lifetime in the showdown!

Macca also said that there was no doubt that the prolonged negotiations were affecting his form. Now it's time to have the fully-motivated Macca back with the after-burners, starting with the Showdown.

Hard to understand why. You'd think he'd be able to put the negotiations out of his mind once he gets out on the field. I hope its not just an excuse.

He damn well better.

Have we signed Biglands? Is there anyone else on the Crows list currently uncontracted?

No, we haven't ssigned Biglands yet. I think the rest of the blokes out of the contract are the likes of Doughty, Gallagher, Marsh, Schuback, Hentschel etc. Few are trade bait and the likes of Hentschel and Schuback will sign up pretty quickly I reckon.

Biglands will be the next main target for re-signing for sure. He's a must.

The others will sign up pretty easily I would have thought.

Ben Marsh out of contract? Hmmm...now that's interesting.

Mark my words, unless we manage to secure a ruckman in the trading period, Ben Marsh will be on our list next year.

No offence, but if that occurs, that's really ****ed. That concept just doesnt inspire me with any confidence at all. I dont think its a good situation for either party.
