TWIST IN STAR FREE AGENT\u2019S DECISION ON FUTURE<\/p>\n
After being heavily linked to Adelaide all year, restricted free agent Zac Bailey is reportedly poised to make a shock call on his future. <\/p>\n
Seven\u2019s Caroline Wilson revealed on Tuesday evening that the 26-year-old is now expected to turn down a monster offer from the Crows in favour of his club of nine seasons.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe he\u2019s going to stay at Brisbane \u2014 I\u2019m close to calling it,\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Brisbane wants an answer from Zac Bailey within a fortnight. They need to get their ducks in a row, and they\u2019re pretty resigned now to losing Lachie Neale.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve increased their offer to Bailey about a week or two ago. Adelaide are offering $10 million over seven years. The Brisbane deal is as long in length; it was around $1-1.1m (but) I reckon it\u2019s closer now to $1.2 million.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Zac Bailey is thinking probably the Lions are home for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
It comes despite reports last month that Brisbane was \u201cnow expecting him to be at Adelaide next year\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Norwood product has played 181 games at the Lions, and earned his first All-Australian blazer last year after a career-best year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nick Daicos has supposedly been approached by a rival club in an intrepid bid to recruit the superstar…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":784749,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":["post-784748","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784748","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=784748"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784748\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/784749"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=784748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=784748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=784748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
