Fair reward for effort and loyalty.

[chook fowler 19,551]

Warms the cockles of an old mans heart. Well done to Jack and the Club.

[DemonOX 8,801]

Bloody good news that. 

Go Trenners.

Absolutely!

Sensible duration. It's now up to Trenners to prove he still has it.  Fantastic role model for our young bunch of potentials.

Good onya Jack!

 

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,510]

That's great news.  I think he's a great player to help our list going forward.

 

Just as importantly however is keeping his presence and leadership around the club. He's a popular, highly respected figure in the playing group, and cutting a person of that calibre after what he's been through can be like poison to a playing list.

Go Trenners!

The club must obviously believe he can continue to improve. Good on him.

What's his most pressing need to work on over summer? Tank and speed?

These would be a priority, maybe with increasing the penetration of his kicking

[darkhorse72 1,925]

Good decision...but i wonder if we'll get an offer for him at trade time.

Like every other player an injury free full pre season, the rest happens

While I agree, I would still love to hear of him working with a sprints coach

[McQueen 17,867]

Very, very pleased by this.

Along with hard work. 

[Sir Why You Little 37,134]

I am suprised but Good Luck Jack. Put everything into this preseason & see what happens....

[Cards13 9,117]

Nice one! Well done Dees.

Whatever you think of his playing it is the right call by the club and Trenners to take whatever the offer is up.

Bring on 17!

He missed nearly two years of footy, worked his arse off to get back, and whilst at the moment he can't crack the AFL side, I am sure Justin Plapp is pleased with the performances he is putting in at Casey, he will know where his deficiencies are and work on them, like every other player

I'm sure he will know. At least let us have the discussion

[Deeoldfart 8,065]

Delighted for Jack and delighted that our great Club has done the right thing by him.  We've come a long, long way as a club since Junior McDonald was pushed out the door.

That's a given with Trenners

[whatwhat say what 22,949]

Great news.

 

Now for a massive preseason and back in best 22 in 2017!

[Adam The God 30,421]

Well done, MFC. Also loved Roosy's words in his presser about both former captains.

I don't think Jack will make it, but I'm much happier giving him another contract than some others.

As the OP says too. It's the right thing to do. I like that we're repaying the loyalty he showed us.

I disagree I reckon he needs a good solid preseason (uninterrupted) and will reap the rewards in 2017.

So happy with this. Made my night. Go Dees!

[Wiseblood 24,637]

As I said in the Trengove thread on the trading board, this is the right decision.  Deserves at least another year to have a fair crack at it.  If he makes it, then it's amazing.  If not then no harm is done.  Plus he continues to bring experience and leadership to the younger guys on the list as well.

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,882]

What value could be put on his attitude and comradery with Track during their rehab?

How inspirational would it be if he can make it back to being the champion player he was previously on his way to becoming?
