    I don't think he offered the contract to an average half forward/'5th mid'.
    I wish our list management team and Beveridge were a bit more aligned…

    Macrae five year deal - next year not in the starting midfield rotations and shuffled to a half forward flank
    RSmith plays in the 2021 GF finally secures a multi year contract and never to be seen again.
    Gowers, McComb similar examples.

      I don't think anyone can keep up with Bevo's rapid change ideas.
      Easton Wood forward anyone!

                    I'd be surprised if Bevo and the list management committee aren't as close to being fully aligned as you can reasonably expect.
                    Sure there would be challenging discussions and differing opinions that might even create some tension but that's a healthy debate.

                    There has been some perplexing decisions on contract lengths and in particular player retention which you've highlighted but I'm assuming that the committee is largely on board with that.

                      I do think they work together, they have to.
                      But there have been a few puzzling decisions.
                      I was just spitballing as that what happens when not much is happening.

                        Do we know how long a contract Coffield received? Unlike Harmes it doesn't seem to have been publicised.

                          I think it's meant to be 2 years (with triggers for one extra) but haven't seen that officially anywhere

                            I will go with 2 years for now. It's annoying when they don't even tell us how long we have signed someone for, I never found an official source for Lobb's contract either.

                              I thought I read it was two compared to the Saints one year offer.

                                By my reckoning we currently have

                                2 Primary list spots available which will be used on Pick 6 and Croft

                                Out: Bruce, Hannan, O'Brien, McLean, Sweet = 5 off

                                In: Coffield, Harmes, Scott (upgrade) = 3 on

                                2 Rookie spots open following the delisting of McComb and Scott being upgraded to the primary list.


                                Has Taylor Duryea been confirmed as signing up for another year? If So, it leaves Crozier and Bedendo to be determined. Some of the talk from Twomey indicated we would likely be taking 4 picks to the draft which would mean these 2 would have to be delisted.

                                If we delist Rourke and McNeill (I think we should let them go) we could go to the draft with 4 picks in the National draft and up to 4 in the rookie draft.
