Re: Player Contract Status

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.

Raak was a free hit, didn't even take a list spot as a cat B rookie. Was worth giving him a chance, didn't work out.

Thank f&%#

Losing Varcoe sucks. Marra is close with him.

Re: Player Contract Status

Thank you for your service TOB, McComb and Raak. But all 100% the right decisions.

Re: Player Contract Status

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

Probably giving them a chance to find an interested club to help them. Might even get a pick swap trade for some minor points.

Smith maybe? I don't see Crozier getting another chance, he's done. McLean will go elsewhere.

I don't see Crozier getting another chance, he's done.

If that is the care. Why not announce today? Surely he doesn't have any trade currency?

Perhaps they are waiting on Duryea decision also

Or others as well, Sweet, McLean. Also trade ins/out could determine his fate.

Re: Player Contract Status

So we have the following without a contract (thanks Axe Man):

Hayden Crozier: 2023
Lachlan McNeil: 2023 (Rookie)
Jordon Sweet: 2023
Roarke Smith: 2023 (Rookie)
Dominic Bedendo: 2023
Buku Khamis: 2023
Toby McLean: 2023
Taylor Duryea: 2023

We have so far made five retirements/delistings. It doesn't sound like that many more to go when you consider potential trades. Does anyone have a handle on what the normal/our average is most years?

Last year we had eight.

Louis Butler (delisted), Zaine Cordy (free agent, St Kilda), Josh Dunkley (trade, Brisbane), Lachie Hunter (trade, Melbourne), Stefan Martin (retired), Charlie Parker (delisted), Josh Schache (trade, Melbourne), Mitch Wallis (delisted)

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

Re: Player Contract Status

2010 11
2011 10
2012 9
2013 5
2014 11
2015 8
2016 7
