I suspect at the minimum Kennedy will get a third year. Historically you have to be completely terrible and kind of a dickhead to not get an initial extension.Leave a comment:

2 years for Arty seems optimistic given his output so far over 4 years. I like him and I hope he can put it together, but you can only live off potential for so long.
Sellwood probably needs to become best 22 pretty sharpish to get another 2. I was a bit underwhelmed with his VFL output, but maybe because I thought he’d come in pretty much ready to contribute given his age and experience.Leave a comment:

It is, and yet I don't disagree with any of them.
We probably should have moved on Coffield this year. Suspect McNeil might get another year, though I would prefer to move on.
Kennedy could get another year if he shows a bit and maybe one of Libba/Treloar could push out another season if all went well.
Looks unavoidable to have 5-7 changes though.Leave a comment:

Personally right or wrong id add another 3 guys to the list already mentioned , and they are Bussalinga who we have preservered with for a while now and id like to tie him down two at least 2 more years .
Sellwood is another id want to sign for another 2 years at least , he shows he can play , but he may need a bit of time to show us how good he can be , and Lachlan Smith is the other id make sure was signed for at least 2 or 3 more years , his continual growth was evident this year , hopefully he can blossom into a nice player for us .Leave a comment:

Outside of these 5 (and I would make it 6 by adding Jaques to the must keep list), the remaining 15 players represent a huge amount amount of "depth at best", "unproven youth" and "likely to retire" types, with only Bramble not fitting into any of these categories - he will fully deserve a new multi-year contract if he continues his growth and development trajectory in 2026.
We have done an excellent job or prioritising our top-end talent and locking them way to medium/long-term deals just as Tassie are coming in to dilute the draft and talent pool further.Leave a comment:
