Eade is one of seven coaches coming out of contract at the end of this season but says he has no plans to go anywhere else and doesn’t want the issue to become a distraction.
“I would certainly love to stay, there is no doubt about that,” Eade said.
“But the main thing is the job at hand at the moment.
“We have only had one game in the season and it is a pretty big year for us.
“We had a good year last year and we want to cement that and hopefully go further.”
Asked if he was happy to leave contract negotiations until the end of the season, Eade said: “I think it is the sort of thing that will be sorted out in its own time,” he said.
“I don’t think there’s any rush from either party.”
Asked if he would look at a rival club as an option for his coaching future beyond this year, Eade was adamant his preference was to stay at the Whitten Oval where he has spent the past four years.
“That’s a ridiculous question,” he said.
“I’m here, I’m a Bulldog person, it’s 2009 and that’s my whole focus.”
