Hunt outcome pending trades - will delist and rookie if no further reduction in player numbers. Sign otherwise.

Candidates for trade: Watts, Grimes, Howe.

Re-sign: Garland, Toumpas, Pedersen, Michie.

Promote: Harmes, vandenBerg [Edited for clarity]

Retain: White, King.

And presumably you've forgotten about vandenBerg. Promote?

I thought he had already signed.

It's not technically done yet but he has signed for two years.

He will be promoted with the last, or second last if Harmes is promoted, pick in the ND.

Ah, pressure is on now (hyperventilating).

I really just took 'offence' so I could use the GIF, I swear...

The GIF!!

Nah, I thought it was worthwhile. I probably should have done it much earlier, been following it with interest. Jamar retires (career comes to close).

So, reading between the lines, I suspect you might be of the view that Cross and Jamar are announced prior to the B&F night to give the room an opportunity to praise them while anyone else who will not get a new contract can still attend without feeling shamed. If so, that's a professional approach by the club.

Judging bye Roos talk on 360 I would think that announcement wont be divulged until next week on who got the chop. I agree with Nashers appraisal ( Cross, Jamar, McKenzie, Fitzpatrick, Riley, Bail, Terlich) but would be putting a line through Hunt as well as Matt Jones

Did Toumpas re-sign?

Never mind, he hasn't - just checked.

I'm finding it very odd with all the delistings going on in other clubs that we have been so tight lipped. I thought one of us would be in the know with some news. Nothing on Big Footy either. When did our club get so damn good at keeping secrets!

Its a great point, was thinking as much today. I put it down to the "Trengove Factor", and by that I mean players will be shopped around without their knowledge, if a likely suitor is found player x will have 24 hours to make a decision(if that's the case they should just go because it's clear they are not wanted). If no suitor is found player x is none the wiser. We have enough passengers as it is without making them disgruntled.

The players know where they stand. Sure names get bandied around but a player knows if he is in the grey zone.

I thought the Trengove to Richmond caught everyone off guard including Jack himself.

as long as we keep Viney, Salem, Hogan, Brayshaw, Petracca, T-Mac, Dunn, Jetta, N. Jones, Vince, Garlett, vandenBURG, Kent, Harmes, Frost, Trengove, Stretch, A-NB, JKH, Gawn, plus a handful of others, I'm happy

Terlich survives the delisting. FMD

Still under contract.

Just to clarify, are you assuming vandenBerg will be upgraded leaving 5 spots or has the decision to upgrade him already been announced?

He's got a contract till 2017. He will be upgraded at the end of the coming ND.

Next year is the big one for me.

Watts

Grimes

Dawes

M.jones

Terlich

Spencer

Only then will we be free.

While it is harsh it is true. It is clear that it takes 3-4 preseasons for a coach to make the list theirs. And if you have to prune as heavily as we have it takes time for the new players to gel and for it all to click.

By the start of next preseason, Roos will have done that, and Godwin will be able to mould the list unencumbered with the past.

I can't see how Terlich could possibly survive. Only player on the senior list who was not injured who didn't get near the side. The only other non-injured players who didn't play at all were the projects Hunt and King. The coach clearly has no intention of playing him, so terminate the contract and free up the spot for a player who has a greater than 0% chance of getting selected.

The cost of paying him is unavoidable, so don't worry about that at all.

Thanks for keeping this constantly updated rpfc, two points

- ND 5 should now be ND 6

- Have you calculated the later ND picks based on adjustments already in the system? (The gaps are 22, 20, 19, 20 and 14, apologies if this has been discussed earlier).

Forgetting Jordie?

Your point still stands though.

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    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.
