A list of who is out of contract would help the guessing - any takers?

Try the OP of the List Management thread.

Inner Demon has done all the work for you.

Thanks, have copied it below for others reference

This list then represents GC17's "opportunity" to sign out-of-contract MFC players this year

Some big names still on the list

. . . the unofficial, uncontracted player list which has circulated in other threads. . . .

Warnock, Bruce, Jones, Watts, Bate, Miller, Johnson, Bell, Moloney, McDonald, Bail, Blease, Strauss, McNamara.

with two games still to go? pull the other one and it plays jingle bells.

Hahahahaha!! Love it.

Pretty big call considering the year that Frawley and big Jamar have had! And, just quietly, Brad Green...

Miller not named for this weeks clash.... off to Gold Coast me thinks!

Would not be a good move for Bate if he went to Gold Coast - too much sunshine and way too many UV rays for a Ranga!

Has possible OH & S implications too! He would have to play all 'home day games' in a long sleeve jumper, trousers and a legionaires cap!

I have heard the Bruce rumour many times in the past, with Junior going i think we need his experience...

We got to get Warnock, Jones, Watts, Moloney Bail, Blease & Strauss signed ASAP, thats the best of depth in our list!

I spoke to Bail in the rooms a few weeks back and he said he is close to signing, guess he wasnt going to tell me different either way!

Yes. It is certainly a big stigma and a huge sense of shame for those sides that gave the first win in the AFL to Brisbane, Sydney, West Coast, Freo, Adelaide and Port Adelaide.....who ever they were.

Hawthorn lost to Adelaide in Crows first game.

Did West Coast beat North Melbourne?

Um, yeah that's about all I can remember.

jones wont go as some have said he obsessed with the melbourne footy club going by his tweets lol

Miller not named for this weeks clash.... off to Gold Coast me thinks!

i found that weird too, with the 23rd player last week and now not even on this emergencies.. odd

Bate would need to spend the extra $$$ he would get on sun screen so would prob end up earning less

Hasn't he been saying on Twitter that his back has given up up him?

Any word on if Melbourne would take Scott Thompson as he is returning to Victoria, probably need a trade as they lose goodwin burton edwards bock and maybe mcleod

Scott will re sign with Crows very soon. Will finish his career with them.

I reckon ablett is going going gone. he has not put anything to bed in telling the club of a decision, yet when he could have. paul connors reckons he is good as gone. the bruce talk is folly.

A Geeeelong insider told me that he is currently looking for a house to buy up here in Melbourne and that he is back with long time girlfriend Lauren. Read what you may into that.

Hahaha your "Geelong insider" could have easily been reading those details in the papers for the last

month. Common knowledge.

Scott will re sign with Crows very soon. Will finish his career with them.

He has signed apparently

Bate would need to spend the extra $$$ he would get on sun screen so would prob end up earning less

If he was traded to Canberra he might be a chance with the ranga in chief.

Stupid comment.

Ablett has had plenty of chance to put it to bed... If he had actually already made a decision.

He hasn't.

Why on earth would he commit one way or the other when he doesn't yet know himself?

The Bruce talk is highley unlikey.

For once in my life- I agree with ya.

Any word on if Melbourne would take Scott Thompson as he is returning to Victoria, probably need a trade as they lose goodwin burton edwards bock and maybe mcleod

MFC would be foolish to take Thompson IMO.

He has signed apparently

That's what I heard.

If he was traded to Canberra he might be a chance with the ranga in chief.

Imagine thier offspring. Big strong Rangas armed with gargantuan ear lobes that both mesmerise and knock over the opposition, expert snipers ... always moving forward, moving forward, moving forward....

Dont like how Bail has been dropped, can't help us hold onto him that's for sure!

Yes. It is certainly a big stigma and a huge sense of shame for those sides that gave the first win in the AFL to Brisbane, Sydney, West Coast, Freo, Adelaide and Port Adelaide.....who ever they were.

And here they all are............... so far.

Not a MFC rumour, but here it is!

Michael Voss will be sacked as Brisbane Lions coach at the end of the season.

Source is from a relative who has connections with coaching staff from there reserves side.

Time will tell!

There's definitely trouble over at Brisbane.

Problems with the review of the club being conducted by Voss, players disgruntled and wanting to leave and now a big resignation at the top.

PORT ADELAIDE

Far out, that really set Geelong back didn't it. You just can't talk about Geelong or Port Adelaide these days and not think back to the day Port notched their first win.
