DOGS MAKE BAILEY OFFER
THE Western Bulldogs have put forward a two-year extension to re-sign Bailey Smithas they move to lock in their three big guns.
However, Smith is expected to wait until deeper into the season before making a contract decision as he gets into the different stages of his recovery from his knee reconstruction.
Geelong, Hawthorn and Collingwood are all expected to be suitors for Smith through the season as he weighs his contract call, while the Dogs' two-year offer would take him through to free agency at the end of his eighth year in 2026.
Along with Smith, the Dogs' other contract priorities are star free agent Tim Englishand gun young forward Jamarra Ugle-Hagan.
English is expected to hold until deeper into the season amid interest from West Coast, which is believed to have met with the ruckman last time he was out of contract, while Ugle-Hagan is the subject of significant interest from a number of clubs.
Gettable revealed last week Richmond was in the hunt, with Hawthorn also chasing the former No.1 pick. Collingwood, Essendon and Sydney have also been linked.
However, the Bulldogs have remained confident with where talks are placed, with the potential of a two-year deal or four-year extension through to free agency. – Callum Twomey

Western Bulldogs remain confident they will pull off a one-two contracting punch by locking away Jamarra Ugle-Hagan and Tim English on deals expected to total around $2 million per season.
Godfather offers for Ugle-Hagan are trickling in, but those close to the emerging superstar are supremely confident he will re-sign at Whitten Oval until 2026 or 2027.
Ugle-Hagan and fellow forward Aaron Naughton – who is locked in until 2032 – are best mates, while the 2020 No.1 draft pick is also extremely tight with Dogs skipper Marcus Bontempelli.
Ugle-Hagan and his family remain extremely appreciative of the club’s support last year after he was racially vilified by St Kilda fans during a game at Marvel Stadium.

Whether there is anything to the calls that he is gone or not.
I think that we saw a pretty, pretty, pretty good example on the weekend as to how important Smith is to the structure of our side.
We sure could do with his willingness to take the game on and with his metres gained and occasionally wayward kicking right about now.
Would much rather a long termer 7 years but just doesn’t really make as much sense for him as short term tbh. I’d be happy just to get it done and then hopefully we improve under a likely new coachNot thrilled at all with that Jamarra news. 2 or 3 year extension? We’ll be back talking about him being out of contract in no time.
4 would be the minimum I’d be comfortable with.
A 4 year contract would take Marra to FA. A 2 year contract just makes me very uneasy.Would much rather a long termer 7 years but just doesn’t really make as much sense for him as short term tbh. I’d be happy just to get it done and then hopefully we improve under a likely new coach
Signing Baz and Marra would be huge even if we’re back here again that’s just how it is for these guys. It’s either 9 years or 2 til FA these days. English meh not fussed either way
I think it’s getting to the point where I’d be annoyed if we re-sign English. He doesn’t contribute enough to us winning footy games for the price he’d want
