Zac Bailey turns down reported $10m Adelaide offer to extend at Brisbane

Zac Bailey signed an eight-year Brisbane contract through 2034, rejecting Adelaide's reported $10 million offer to stay with the defending premiers.

Zac Bailey has committed to Brisbane until 2034 after deciding to reject Adelaide's advances. The 26-year-old midfielder-forward said the choice was genuinely difficult-it was 50-50-but his love for the club and the long-term security of the deal won out.

Zac Bailey's partner loves living in Brisbane too, and he wanted that off his plate for good. Bailey earned his second All-Australian blazer this year, averaging 21.70 disposals and 4.26 inside 50s a game.

The announcement came this week ahead of Brisbane's semi-final against the Crows, the team that hunted his signature.
