Players out of contract

[MelbournePassion 7]

I know that Miller and Jamar are out of contract at the end of this year and could get snatched by the Gold Coast but I would like to know every player that is out of contract by the end of this? Does anyone know every players contract deals or years on their contracts or which players come our of contract at the end of this year?

Watts, Straus, Blease, Jurrah, Bail, Petterd.

I think PJ may be. Newton and Meesen. Junior. Bruce.

McNamara and Cheney?

I will personally pay the Gold Coast a portion of Miller's salary if it means they keep their hands off our young talent.

Jurrah is a guy we need to re sign before the seasons end. He is a guy that can fill seats, and the MFC needs to fill seats!!

Unlucky for Bruce to be out of contract. He is on the wrong side of 30. Hopefully Bruce can take a reduced salary and get another 2-3 year deal. If he wants top dollar still he may be left out in the cold.

I believe Dunn and possibly Bate are out of contract also. Bartram is also up after signing a one year deal to play this season.

It would be nice to retain many of the players mentioned in this thread, but the likelihood of the happening is bloody slim. Getting required players to sign during the year would be a big deal for the MFC. Having to negotiate 12+ new contracts at the seasons end is not going to be a great idea. Every club is going to be hitting the panic button and players could be moving homes like a game of musical chairs. The more we can take off the market, the less we are likely to lose in the great GC17 panic that all clubs will be facing.

Remember, GC17 may not target some of our kids, but if another club loses a required player to GC17 they will have no problems filling their new gap with one of our kids!

I probably should add that all of the names listed by me above are players I think are out of contract at the end of the season. I have no evidence to support this list.

there was a small note at the back of the sport section of todays paper saying that Rivers and Frawley are on the GC list as they want tall defenders and MFC needs to sign them before seasons end

While it is an obvious concern when some of our better players are out of contract, I'm not losing too much sleep over who may or may not go at the end of the year. I'm sure the club will secure the players we need to, and it wont be that hard providing at seasons end, every one of our listed players can sit down and think "[censored], we have taken a massive step forward, and a flag may be within reach".

On the other hand though, we are still coming off back-to-back spoons. I'm sure there are a lot of players in the league who are on the radar of these clubs, and when we are struggling to have a player in the top 50 of the league, the amount of targeted players on our list would be minimal compared to other clubs. Just my opinion!
