Player Contract Status

Re: Player Contract Status

They (HUN) also gave 'Corey Weightman' 1 vote for the Collingwood game. I'm not even sure how Cody would have managed a vote, never mind Corey.

Face-palm

Re: Player Contract Status

Do you look at this with the same sort of mindset of what sometimes happens in the NBA?
If he is signing for a modest base with incentives for senior appearances I don't see it as much of a risk.

Hard to compare as they can just cut them from the roster or trade the player/contract out at any time, there is more flexibility. I just think it was far to premature, he was a delisted free agent signing, there would be virtually no team interested in signing him and he's been on the outer for a few weeks now. I really see no issue in making him earn this deal during the season and rewarding him if he performs after the season is over

Well, Cody did kick 4 goals. That's pretty close to being in the votes for me!

It was Daicos 3, Quaynor 2 and "Corey" 1. Cody was good but I'm not sure he was our best and his direct opponent was also close to best on. He didn't feature in the coaches votes whereas Marra, Naughton and Bont did. Elliot probably shaded him as well.

Re: Player Contract Status

I probably would have gone 1, but he can play a role and I assume he'd be on base.

This is spot on.

We need players capable of being around the top 30 on base salary so we can afford to pay and retain the top end.

You've never raised this issue before

Alex Keath has signed a new 1yr deal for 2024.

I’m over our signings this year. This could have waited til we had no other options. He has played reserves this year and last. He has looked past it at times too.

I guess it was either him or Bruce.

Agree with this. This says more about our list management than Alex Keath

He needs to just be a backup and not play as best 22, unfortunately we don't have many options unless we play a 19 year old Buzz

Why isn’t my Cat B contract request being approved?

I'm okay with that from a purely depth perspective but it probably makes it harder for Josh Bruce.

Yes if we have Jones, Keath, Gardner with JOD and Buzz in defence and Marra, Naughts, Darcy, Lobb and possibly Croft as forwards there's not really space for Bruce at either end.

Re: Player Contract Status

Nope, don't like it. Like I said with Baker signing on for 2 years. Why now? These guys aren't going to be taken away from us, no one would be interested so why are we signing over list spots in 2024 and beyond so quickly? Finish the season, explore Draft, FA and trade avenues then sign your fringe players.
