FarNorthernD 5,863 Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 The club has publicly stated over time that it will not over-pay a select few to the detriment of list balance. If Jesse does re-sign then it will be at a price that we can afford and not the la-la-land money some in the media have thrown around. He is a cornerstone signing that can only do good things for this club. Now to Tom Mac who I rate as almost as important.

Expand He said 'could take up to 6 months', which does seem a little strange but contract negotiations can take time. Call me a pessimist but I won't rest easy until he has put pen to paper.

There's no reason that I can fathom why it would take that long. Expand I tend to agree. I mean no doubt there will be back and forth but he has the whip hand. In any case lets' hope it happens. It would be huge for the club. This is a big statement but i don't think there has been a more important signing for the dees. Ever.

Contract negotiations have begun and will probably be completed this year but could take up to 6 months. Expand Jesse said he wanted to wait for the CBA the details of which are known by Clubs and will be announced in next month. He, his manager and the club have always said he will stay. So for Jesse to 'confirm' that and restart negotiations now is no surprise and anyone could make that educated guess. And, contract negotiations started 12 months ago so both parties have known the ambit claims for a year now and it doesn't take 6 months to work out the finer details. It sounds like someone (your source, not you) is reading the tea leaves around the CBA announcement timing and hedging their bets by saying it will take 6 months. A claim by your source that an announcement by EOS would be a lot more convincing! Edit: Just read other posts. 'Abe' has asked about deal length and terms etc so some info on this would add some credibility that the source isn't just taking an 'educated' guess.

tappysquads 618 Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 I'm so used to negativity at Melbourne I had accepted he was leaving and actually convinced myself he wasn't that special and we would be better off with a trade than keeping him. But now.........

Why would the Club want to restart speculation and have negotiations take place under the media spotlight. Because that is what GNF has now done. Its like throwing fuel on a fire!!
