(Maybe Tom will excuse himself from his role due to his nepotistic conflict of interest at Collingwood, he seems a pretty upstanding guy)

A couple in the leadership group as well. Power and the team are going to have to work a bit of magic.

Re: 2022 Free Agents
I would not be in the least bit concerned if we avoided taking an FA this year.
The overwhelming priority has to be keeping our list together as much as possible.

Not sure if you watched the Q&A session with Power and Dom Milesi. One question sent through, asked Power about the re-signings and who would be the priority. Power said he was confident he would re-sign all the players.

Re: 2022 Free Agents
It'll be tough to keep everyone, will be interested to see what decisions McLean & Wallis make as they've been pushed a fair way down the depth chart thanks to injuries and form.

Yes I saw it. Still if a couple of clubs get into Smith he might demand more from us than his form necessarily commands.
I'm confident we will get it done but I don't think it's going to be easy. I think we held back from another FA signing llast year to to give us some more options this year.

He would say that though, wouldn't he?
I still think there might be a squeeze at the end of the year. It may even be a fringe type who walks for a bit of extra cash & opportunity. That might be a best-case scenario... we lost Lipinski who can use the ball well but nobody is suggesting our finals hopes are dashed on the back of a fringe player walking.

True, but I have faith in Power, compared to previous list managers.
Those listed - my take
Zaine Cordy - Depends on performance
Bailey Dale - Must Keep
Caleb Daniel - Must Keep
Taylor Duryea - probably gets another year depending on performance
Jason Johannisen - Prefer to keep
Jack Macrae - - Must Keep
Stefan Martin^ Last year
Toby McLean - give or take, but likely to get new contract
Mitch Wallis - depends on performance in 2022

Re: 2022 Free Agents
Cordy isn’t going anywhere, because I can’t imagine any other club offering him a deal.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Re: 2022 Free Agents
Karl Amon and Dan McStay are two that interest me. Darcy Moore is obviously a pipe dream.

Bailey Smith and Tim English conspicuously absent - I really want to keep both.
Dunkley too. I consider Dunkley as a higher priority than Dale and on par with Daniel.

Someone should start a thread about player contracts.
