Player Contract Status

[GVGjr]

Does everyone feel with the news today that McLean and Crozier will be offered deals?

Well considering we are likely to only draft 2 to 4 players and assuming we trade for a couple more then they might make the most sense to be retained. If we are confident Bedendo can get back on the park I'd say he might get retained.

I can understand the recruitment of TOB, we have been in desperate need of an interceptor but it just didn't work out. Raak and McComb on the other hand have never had AFL attributes, I see those decisions in a very different light.

I don?t understand it. He intercepted well in 1 game prior and that was against us.

Good decisions.

I want McNeil gone. No offence to him, but he has zero attributes to make it at the elite level. Not quick enough, not big enough, not strong enough, not skilled enough, doesn't find enough of the ball and so on. Cut and move on.

I also want Crozier gone but I'll live with it if we move on McNeil. At least Hayden brings some leadership.

McLean will be an interesting one.

Bedendo to get 1 year would be my assumption.

All my Hawthorn supporter friends just laughed at this trade. They disliked him as a player.

TOB didn't work out and is better suited to the state leagues but the appeal was obvious - good athlete with decent skills.

More to work with than quite a few others on our list.

Good luck to him.

If O'Brien wasn't injured so often I could see some value to him as a 3rd tall but the injuries really put a full stop on that conversation.

So from the guys left. We need to get Sweet, McLean and Khamis all sorted out. The others will all most likely be delisted.

The. Let?s hope Power turns his head to get Naughts, Smith, English, JUH and a West signed up before the season gets underway. We need to stop all the noise prior to next year.

No chance we delist all those unsigned players, especially if the 3 you mentioned leave as well. It will be too big a list turnover.

Also no chance all those players re-sign before next season. I can't see Smith and English in particular re-signing any time soon.

This type of mollycoddling of his ravings about a thread that doesn't exist won't help anyone.

Talking about a thread that doesn't exist in the thread that doesn't exist is some next level twilight zone stuff.

The Khamis situation is an interesting one for me. I can think of a few reasons why he stayed:

- Lack of interest elsewhere

- Lobb leaving and a medium forward/ second ruck position opening up due to a change in tack from the MC

- Same terms and role at alternative destinations due to his limitations

- Loyalty and buy-in


Not sure where I sit, reckon it might be the latter two combined and it would be amazing if he was spirited in his gratefulness enough to stay the course with the club that has stood by him for a very long time.

I am liking that he's made the choice to back his improvement at the club.

I am a long time 49ers fan in NFL and am loving the Brock Purdy story develop.
Last player selected in draft which comes with the moniker of Mr Irrelevant due to very few notable careers coming from that pick

Drafted by the Nine's, behind an established veteran QB in Garoppolo, and behind a pick 3 QB Trey Lance, whom the Nine's sold the farm to trade up in the draft to get.

Both QBs go down injured long term mid season and they play Purdy instead of signing another veteran QB.
And he's now the starter having established himself as the clear QB1.

I'd love to see Khamis force his way past his competition.
I'd love all our developing players to have a similar mindset to grit it out,and earn a spot.

BT did warn me to be careful what I wish for.
