The Moving-Rolling Delisting/Retiring/Trading Thread 2017

[westdog54]

Webb and Redpath officially announced for 2 more years.
Morris signed on for one more year.

That is fantastic news.

Interesting that Redpath committed for two. Its been his practice of recent years to commit to ongoing one year deals. Its a massive show of faith by both club and player.

I'd have to suspect that there was significant interest from at least one other team as the catalyst for the change in the Redpath contract term. Possibly an indication that Travis Cloke might be leaning towards departing but that's just a pure guess.

[GVGjr]

After confirmation that Morris, Webb and Redpath have signed on I believe this leaves the following players as unsigned.

Bradley Lynch, Declan Hamilton, Joshua Prudden, Mitch Honeychurch, Nathan Mullenger-McHugh, Roarke Smith and Stewart Crameri.

Robert Murphy and Matthew Boyd are retired there is a slight question mark if Travis Cloke completes his 2nd year.

I think Nathan Mullenger-McHugh will be maintained as a rookie but I'm not sure about the others.

This leaves quite a few gaps on our list but they are probably the ones we expected.

Also Carlton were heavily into him , but re-signing casboult stopped their pursuit .

2 years for Red is one year too many IMO. He hasn't done enough for mine to warrant such a leap of of faith by the club. I'm a great admirer of what he has been able to achieve in his career, starting from a mile back, but I doubt there is any further improvement left in him.

Sounds the death knell of Crammers at the kennel you'd imagine.

2 years is overkill, agree. He'd struggle to get a game at about 15 other clubs yet we're throwing a multi year deal at him.

JMac better have some aces up his sleeve for the upcoming trade period, because he hasn't got many list spots to play with.

Redpath and Crameri are very different players and while I do think he is more likely to depart I'm not convinced the two are are linked.
Perhaps it's more around what Cloke might do.

I agree that a 2 year deal from Redpath is 1 more than ideal.

[The Adelaide Connection]

Do you think we might have put a Rookie contract forward to Crameri?
From where we sit he is an injury prone player that has played two games in two years and I would think that is pretty reasonable. Insurance for the club, but leaves it open for him to play should he get back to the level required.
He would then have to weigh it up against the offers coming from elsewhere.

Ps Essendon could be pursued for any extra lost earnings.

[Remi Moses]

Agree a bit of a stretch the extra year for Redpath, but wondering if the second year is incentive based
Great news on Morris and hope Webb can grasp his chance .

Your statement is incorrect. Redpath has only ever been offered a one year contract over the past few years. Redpath has always sought more than one year and held off this year for two. Yes massive show of faith by club.

Yeah, hopefully it's front loaded. Can't imagine its huge dollars but I'm not sure how Red fits structurally into the forward line, so 2 years seems like an interesting move. Clearly a popular guy around the club and it seems to indicate that Cloke is retiring.

I'm sure there were articles previously where he said he wanted/preferred one year deals. Do you have knowledge of previous negotiations?

[Hotdog60]

The last I thought an interview with him he said he likes the one year deals as it keeps him motivated or something along those lines.
Unless it was a bit of tongue in cheek

[Bulldog4life]

I am one of the few that is happy that Red has signed for 2 years. His best is still ahead of him in my opinion. I also read that Clokey is looking forward to start pre season training in November.

[bulldogtragic]

So 4 most likely out; Bob, Boyd, Hamilton & Honey. Crameri??? (I've said for ages my hunch is trying to RL him, which may or may not work/happen). I'm firm in the view we need to move on 6.

I get the whole 'back them all in to respond next year' philosophy. But if we want to trade at the high end if the market, and pursue any free agents, then we will now need to trade contracted player/s out to free up. Draft for talent, trade for need. We have a lot of needs, but with limited spots we might not be able to.
