“Liam has been a reliable player and great teammate for such a long time with his attack on the footy and toughness.
“It’s also been great to see him complement these attributes with the growth in the offensive side to his game over the past couple of years.
“His consistency in work rate, attitude and professionalism has enabled Liam to perform very well in big games, evident throughout the 2016 finals series.”
Picked echoed McCartney sentiments, saying he was excited for what the next two seasons had in store for him at the Bulldogs.
“I was more than happy to re-sign, hopefully we’ve got some more exciting times coming up, it was an easy decision.”
The 30-year-old has played 180 games for the Bulldogs since being drafted to the club with the 30th pick in the 2009 rookie draft as a mature-aged recruit.
