Some snippets from an AFL.com article:

Geelong captain Joel Selwood is still considering his future, but fellow veterans Tom Hawkins and Isaac Smith are set to play on, while Western Bulldogs ruckman Stef Martin is another weighing up retirement.

Gold Coast has tabled an offer to veteran forward Levi Casboult, as have the Bulldogs to Taylor Duryea and Zaine Cordy

what is there for him to weigh up? He was totally cooked in 2022. What does he want? To go out as burnt offerings?

Surely if he wants to go on, the club say no thanks.

[Eastdog]

Yep Martin getting on now. It would be the time to let him go.

Kylie Watson-Wheeler announced the re-signings of Duryea and Keath in her B&F speech last night.

She'd have to exist for that to be true and I've been told on WOOF that she does not.

Bloody hell it’s getting tight.

Assuming 3 trades/fa, minimum 3 drafted = 6 out (I’d prefer 4 draft picks)

1. Dunkley
2. Hunter?

Josh Schache
Louis Butler
Zaine Cordy (offered contract?)
Mitch Wallis (read Bevo is happy to have him next year according to Wallis)
Stefan Martin (still not retired)
Charlie Parker (R)

Plus Crozier if we can find any takers.

You would think Wallis will be made to wait until after trade week.

I'm not sure why we are the only club yet to announced any delistings or retirements when our season ended weeks ago.

I don’t understand either, it’s strange and a little disconcerting. If Crozier can’t get a taker, could he paid out Travis Cloke style to free up a spot.

This would seem essential.

Perhaps we could make him Footscray captain to offset some of it.

[MrMahatma]

Crozier is ok depth. He’s not the worst on the list by far.

He's dropped off sharply this year so it's a difficult decision for club and player. Can he get a regular game elsewhere will be the big decision for him but I doubt other clubs will view him in that light.
Unless we are prepared to pay out part or all of his contract he might be seen as just someone who mentors the younger players and is essentially the Footscray captain as Bulldog Joe suggests.

Cordy must have had a club call his manager . 2 year contract on the table but not signed yet .. interesting.

Couldn't see anyone going near Crozier. He is done and all clubs would have seen that this year and last year when there were also no takers. Our bad for the length of the contract.
