THE CONTRACTS THREAD [with updates]


rpfc

Recommended Posts

Updated.

There are 6 vacancies with Evans and Nicho to come up from what I have heard from more than one source. See if that pans out soon.

If it does we will have 4 vacancies for ND4, ND49, ND53, and ND70/PSD3. ND73 and ND74 are there for more deletions/contract hold outs.

So if we want to use our 3rd pick in the pre-season draft, and still use all our draft picks up to and including ND74, we have to de-list at least 3 more players. Or Rookie list them. Is that correct? Of the players OOC, possibly Macdonald, Davis, and Bartram (if knee is chronic).

rpfc i think your assumption of 40 +6 is wrong

My reading is that it between 38 +6 and 40 + 4. In other words a total of 44 either way

My suspicion is they will go 40 + 4 and opt for more mature-agers from the state leagues rather than 6 rookies

You're right. I changed my numbers accordingly a few weeks ago but forgot to change that sentence. Will do so now.

There are 3 list lodgements - one on Oct 31 where clubs must make enough room for three picks at the ND, one on Nov 15 for clubs that need to make more deletions in case of any Delisted FA signings, and one after the draft and a second DFA period on the Nov 29.

We have space for ND4, ND49, ND53, ND70/PSD3, and the upgrading of two rookies.

I expect that there are still a few question marks over a few players heads as we head toward that second list lodgement. An important fortnight for: Sellar, Jetta, MacDonald, Batram, Bail, Spencer and Davis.

All are still OOC and with PSD3/ND70, ND73, ND74, and possible Delisted FAs looming above them.

I can see them all staying or all the way up to only Spencer and Bail...

We will see, but I have an inkling that we are not done yet...

Bartram and spencer are the ones IMO who might miss contract renewal.

Barty because of his knee problems if the latest therapy doesn't work.

Pencil to stay only if Gawn doesn't come up.

With Martin gone the next in line for 1st ruck is Spencer and Gawn with no-one behind them.

Spencer will stay.

Spencer will stay.

What about Fitzpatrick?

Provided all can stay healthy, I think our ruck stocks are:

1. Jamar

2. Gawn

3. Spencer

4. Fitzpatrick

I wouldn't be surprised to see Spencer go, although I would delist Davis and Jetta ahead of him.

Gawn is not ahead of Spencer. And Fitz is so slight...

I would be very surprised to see Spencer go. He is the only one ready to go if Jamar is injured. Throwing the other two into the AFL would be unfair on them.

From what I have seen of Gawn (his 4 AFL games), he is a better player than Spencer IMO. I don't think any of Fitz/Gawn/Spencer are good enough to be a #1 ruck yet, so let's pray that Jamar doesn't go down in 2013.

Sylvia UFA next year? Guess that means his about to have his breakout season...

Hey Olisk : Just what are you implyng about our greatest potential star ! Are you suggesting he will deliver on that potential to ensure another contract? Gee if that is so maybe we keep giving him good ie well paid one year contracts to the end of his careeer

Spencer is more equipped to deal with AFL in 2013 than Gawn, who I agree is a better player. I don't think Fitxpatrick will ever be able to hold down 1st ruck with his frame.

I wouldn't be. It may depend on the conditioning of the boys when they return to train, what is available in the delisted FA players I would say.

Who do you reckon might turn up out of shape and be vulnerable?

Spencer will stay.

Hope not. He's nothing more than a witches hat out on the ground. The change to the ruck rules won't be advantageous to Spencer.

He is a depth plaeyr in 2013 and no more.

I don't care to talk much about depth players. Doesn't mean you don't need them but...

Gillies added. I have him and Rodan on one year deals - let me know if otherwise.

Down to three vacancies.

I can still see a couple possible delistings, but we will see.

Jetta has not really set the world on fire, he would have to be being considered to be dropped. and macdonald while serviceable could be redundant with Gillies arriving. I would think how they conduct themselves at training in the next week or so will have a big bearing on their future.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
