Young Bulldog stays in the Kennel despite Swans' late swoop

Garcia signs 3 year deal. Swans expressed interest in the last fortnight.

I'm low key quite impressed by the Swans and their covert operation, working under cover of darkness on their trade targets without the media catching on. They haven't been this invisible since Grand Final day.

Wasn't this previously reported as a 4 year offer causing much consternation around here? Three years sounds much more palatable.

Xavier O'Halloran remains a trade target for the Bulldogs and has been offered a three-year contract to move from Greater Western Sydney, but the Giants are determined to retain the contracted midfielder. ? Josh Gabelich

Possibly a 3 year contract extension?

Given they're so well informed it must just be an oversight that they didn't pick up on Sydney's significant interest over a two week period.

Great news about Garcia. Assume his management team upped the ante regarding the three year deal. Happy with that considering we signed Harmes for three and are offering XOH three years. Great opportunity for the lad to cement his place in the midfield

[G-Mo77]

I'm happy he's staying on and comfortable with 3 years. Like whythelongface said. We gave 3 years to James bloody Harmes why can't we do the same within? Now we just have to play him.

[Rocco Jones]

Now where do we play him? I am obsessed with this but I hope that if he gets dropped back to VFL, he plays a role that is similar to the one asked for him at AFL level.

And McNeil! Where was his 3

Now where do we play him? I am obsessed with this but I hope that if he gets dropped back to VFL, he plays a role that is similar to the one asked for him at AFL level.

In twelve games he couldn't crack the top twenty in our B&F, so I guess the thing for him is just getting games wherever he can doing the best he can.

He's not going to crack the midfield and his competition that had more opportunities either polled poorly in the high half forward role or didn't get that time in the midfield themselves.

This is a mercy signing for us and him. Depth only, we don't actually rate him. Up to him to prove us wrong.

As for playing in that role when in the twos, it just won't happen. It's better to win twos games than not.
