WIth the story that Andrew Swallow is a big target and that Mitch Clark and Rhys Palmer are also on the agenda i was wondering who is out of contract after 2011?My link

Scully is the first one that comes to mind, but he seems a pretty loyal type of guy, so hopefully he will sign on quickly.

Who of our big name players could be targeted, who are out of contract?

BTW is there something like GWS get two years of uncontracted players or was that something about PSD or Rookie draft?

And yes i know it is a long way away but over the next four months is when GWS are allowed to sign these such players and with the rumours already coming out i thought why not set the ball rolling.

    They do get to take players over 2 years, so any player out of contract 2011 or 2012 is up for grabs.

    Those coming out of contract at the end of next year are:

    Sylvia, Scully, Gysberts, Morton, Wonna, Maric, Martin, Fitzpatrick, Gawn, Cheney

    I hope they take Morton.

    That is absolutely ludicrous. You're better than that, mate.

    I hope our club is strong enough that NO ONE will leave. We've fended off the Gold Coast (Frawley, Rivers, Petterd and even Bruce all saying no) so now it's time to fend off the rampage that will be GWS.

    Guys like Morton, Gys, Gawn, Fitzpatrick and Scully are all imperative to our development as youngsters going forward.

    Thanks for that ox

    Sylvia has to be our first signing out of those as soon as possible.

    It would be a disaster to lose him

    Yep, the only 2 players that the GWS would genuinely chase hard and would genuinely hurt us if we left would be Sylvia and Scully.

    Like Davey, Jamar, Frawley etc, these 2 are critical to our success going forward, and should be signed on 3 year deals hopefully

    This could be a reason why Bruce should NOT get more than 1 Year If he stays.

    Sometimes I think an IQ test should be required before being allowed to join Demonland.

    No point culling off half the posters.....

    But would you let in the upper or lower half?

    scully was missed in that list!

    Or he is the second name on the list...

    That seems naive in the extreme. All GReaterWesternSydney has to do is wave big bucks in front of any Vic. footballer and they will go. The AFL is regulating the departure of Vic. footballers to the expansion states so the locals don't rise up and revolt. Whether we can hold onto an uncontracted Scully remains to be seen.

    I think our FD has already shown how thrifty they can be when it comes to matters of this ilk. I will again back the FD to make the right decisions. GO DEES !!!

    Ohk, if they were to take one of our players, I would want it to be Morton.

    big difference in attractiveness between living on the gold coast and living in western sydney.

    GWS is only a spiral torpedo away from Melbourne's nightspots and AFL culture.

    Pretty confident it will be the same story as this year, it seems we have a committed young list who can see the bigger picture and why it's truly worth hanging around.

    Beat me to it Steamin. Our FD managed the process extremely well in 2010, and I have every confidence that they will do the same in 2011. Besides, I very much doubt that any of our young guns would be lured away by big $s to play for a 'nothing' team, when they have the prospect of playing beside their mates in a premiership team.

    Scully's family have bought a 2 bedroom unit close to the city for TS and his sister to share. There's no chance that he will be leaving Melbourne.

    We are Melbourne.......They are Greater Western Sydney (whatever that is) which would you choose when you REALLY think about it. Kevin Sheedy can only say so much. B)

    That may be one of the most misguided posts I've seen. Are we to believe that because someone in Scully's family bought a place, and that they didn't even buy it just for Tom, that he'll be committed to the demons for more than 12 months?

    That purchase means absolutely nothing to Tom's future.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
