Outstanding work by the footy club. Probably 4-5 years too short but a good start nevertheless. :)

[Scraggers]

Beat me to it PP.

Fantastic news. Best news since it was confirmed we made the finals.

[The Doctor]

Brilliant

[Topdog]

Gee wasn't expecting that so soon. Great news

[Jeanette54]

Great news, nice way to end the day.

[ratsmac]

This has made my day. We are setting the foundations for a very exciting future at the kennel. The cornerstone is set!

[Ghost Dog]

In honour of this, I declare a new Avatar. Respect Bonti.

[westdog54]

Strike up another JMac coup.

[LostDoggy]

Wasn't feeling much interested in footy after my least two favourite teams are in the GF but this has cheered me up no end.

[KT31]

Brilliant work, best news i have heard since Chris Grant knocked back Port.
Well done to all involved in the signing, next extension Jake.

[bornadog]

What great news - gun player and will be better again next year.

[Twodogs]

This is dancing in the street type news.

[Remi Moses]

Great news, but I thought the club wasn't going to be able to re-sign it's young stars?
Bad news for Jack nail at the age, and Caroline Wilson

[ratsmac]

What great news - gun player and will be better again next year.

Well apparently he had the 2nd year blues this year and yet somehow rocketed to 13th in the overall player rankings. Therefore in that case hopefully he gets the 3rd year blues!

Finals? hmmm nup. Just tape it for me, I'll watch it later. Too busy watching Jake Stringer and Marco Bonto clips on youtube.

How good are the quotes?:

"My teammates, coaches and staff are just an extended part of my family and I feel very privileged to come into work everyday and help our club with them"
"I just couldn't be prouder to be a Western Bulldogs player and I know that will continue well into my career"

[strebla]

Such a great young man so proud of our club and our recruiting staff.we have probably my favourite captain ever( sorry tits) our coaching staff are doing an awesome job and our office staff continue to kick goals!!!! Really is a great time to be a bulldog.

In Florence Italy at the moment. This is all over the local news. I'm dancing in front of the Duomo and everyone is looking at me strangely.

[Murphy'sLore]

This makes me very, very happy. When Bobby retires, it will be a seamless transition to Bonti as my favourite player.

[Greystache]

Great news. 2 years on top of the 2 years already remaining shows a great commitment from both parties. Hopefully we see something similar for Stringer shortly!

[Mantis]

Excellent news... As with 'SP' a 10yr contract would have been nice, but at least another 4 is a good starting point.

Fantastic quotes. I like Stevenson's quotes too: "... the strength of our leaders, and the boldness of our youth..."

Surely Giotto is Bontempelli's cousin.

Without having any idea what sort of money the boys are getting during that time...having Bont, String and Macrae all signed up for extended contracts right now - you'd have to think we'd be getting outstanding value for money. Particularly given that the salary cap in 2017-2019 will be significantly higher than what it is now.

We may well have signed Bonti for the realms of $650-$700K in those '18,'19 years - when he will in reality be worth a million bucks or more.

[Eastdog]

Great news. Great to have Bont sign a new contract. Going to be a great player for our club.

[azabob]

Great news. 2 years on top of the 2 years already remaining shows a great commitment from both parties. Hopefully we see something similar for Stringer shortly!

This is the most mist impressive part - he already signed an extension in his first year, now he has signed a further extension- this is a huge win for all of us.

Kudos to Marcus and who is player manager is. Great to see them both putting faith in our club.

Can't stop smiling!!

And then he tops our Brownlow polling with 13. What a kid.

The same votes Fyfe got in his second year

[westdog54]

The same votes Fyfe got in his second year

You mean Fyfe had second year blues as well?

[Bulldog Revolution]

Brilliant news - maybe WOOF should have a BONT APPRECIATION DAY at some stage soon

Yeah lucky he didnt get traded after that year.. That would be Tony Shaws knowledge of football.
