rass Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Did I read it correctly? Maclaren actually wasn't nominated for the Johnny Warren Medal? Instead, it's between Davila, Diamante (did he even play?) and Ninkovic? Surely that's a piss take right? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Great. Thought he might test himself at a better level but can’t complain with this result from our perspective. He can be part of a front three that can dominate the league for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony999 Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Socceroos striker Jamie Maclaren has signed a two-year contract extension with A-League grand finalists Melbourne City. Maclaren, who is currently in quarantine due to recent Socceroos commitments and will miss this weekend’s grand final, has committed to City until June 2024. “You always have that one club in your career where it just feels like home,” said Maclaren, who has scored 59 goals in 63 appearances for City “Melbourne City is that place for me, both on and off the pitch. “This group is special and we’re building something unique. “When people think of Melbourne City, we want our fans to see our strong culture, enjoy our style of attacking football and to celebrate with us when we win trophies. We work hard every day to achieve this. “For the fans, when I hear you chant my name, it motivates me to score. I feel very lucky, I’m a proud Melbourne boy who gets to represent this great football club.” Jamie Maclaren has extended is stay at Melbourne City. Picture: Darrian Traynor/Getty ImagesSource:Getty Images The re-signing of Maclaren, the A-League’s Golden Boot, is a further boost for City after the recent retention of Andrew Nabbout and the signing of another Socceroos attacker, Mat Leckie. City’s director of football Michael Petrillo said Maclaren was a “massive influence on the pitch” and a “fantastic leader in the dressing-room”. “We are so pleased to be able to finalise a long-term contract with Jamie and to be able to do it so quickly shows his passion for the club, his hometown and the fans,” Petrillo said.

Embee Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Leckie - Maclaren - Nabbout. All locked in for the next 3 years. Has anybody else in the league ever had a front three of that ability locked in for that period of time? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of the better footballer interviews I’ve seen. Clearly loving his time at City. As a number of us have speculated, now that he’s been around the block a few times, he knows that “the big move” might not be “the best move”. There’s a lot to be said for staying where you’re happy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Was pretty amazing listening to Jamie just be “one of the boys” on a fan podcast. I get he must have been going nuts with boredom in detention but even so. What I gleaned from everything he said is how on board with City he is. He’s not running out media training key phrases, he genuinely loves the club, genuinely loves the fans. He’s on board for the long haul and wants it to be a great football club and is prepared to do what it takes to get us there. (He’s not the only one who comes across like this, Jamo certainly does and Nabbout treats the club and fans like people who took him in when he got released from prison (which seems a fair analogy)) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome to see a player in any professional team sport be so candid, and so giving of their time (yes, lockdown). We're lucky to have him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJV Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Loved him on the pod. No BS. Listening to him tell his story about knocking back multiple offers from the Victory to come here was delicious. This is the club the best in Australia want to play for, without a doubt. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
