Pederson has signed on for next year.

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2015-09-24/pedersen-signs-on-for-2016

Guess they'll see how he goes. Hopefully can pickup a young versatile tall in the meantime.

Just a good decision, handy depth, only one year. Shame that I am impressed by such a routine decision but there you go...

5 OOC left: Garland, Howe, Toumpas, Hunt, and Michie.

Harmes and King to be DFA unless offered to be upgraded.

Posted

Dees just signed 4 more:

Billy Stretch and ANB until the end of 2017, while Mitch White and Max King have signed on as rookies for 2016!

All good signings as far as I'm concerned!

Can't believe James Harmes has I re-signed.

I see a few scenarios;

- we are waiting to finalise the details of his contract to be upgraded for some reason I am not aware of,

- we are waiting to see if we need to play silly buggers and keep him on the RL for the third year like King will be,

- we are keeping our options open for a trade,

- we don't think he is good enough.

I hope it is the first one; keeping King for the third year is easier as he is an interstate rookie and he can agree to that easily, Harmes has to go through the draft again if I know my CBA well (and I think I do), I don't see him having more value to others than to us in a trade, and he is clearly good enough for this list.

Awaiting the announcement of an upgrade and a two year deal.

Will be staggered if Harmes isn't elevated. Suspect it's just a case of waiting on the outcomes of the others before deciding on terms.

Only Howe, Toumpas, Hunt, Michie and Harmes are left OOC. At this stage you'd have to think that Harmes is the only one that we're likely to see in red and blue again, but the fact that he is still unsigned makes me feel slightly uneasy. I really hope he's not delisted.

Question for whoever knows this sort of thing (looking at you, rpfc): If, in theory, we were to pay out the final year of Terlich and M. Jones's contracts to free up list space, does that money count towards our 2016 salary cap?

It does. It probably doesn't matter though since we're not tight for cap space.

It is interesting though - Mahoney was talking about Terlich having a delayed start to 2016 like he was going to still be on the list...

Perhaps they will honour the contract - preferably on the RL...

Perhaps that was an euphemism

A contracts update from Mahoney: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2015-10-11/we-want-hogan-longterm-mahoney

Summary of Mahoney's comments are:

- an offer of an extension beyond 2017 has been put to Jesse. Hooray! :rolleyes:

- the club needed to make sure that players were locked in for “an extended period of time”.

- “If you look down our list, there are not many players where you’d say ‘they had a season this year that they can’t replicate next year’.

- Mahoney said the club had also unearthed some youngsters this year. (He then talks of O Mac, White and Harmes)

Based on this I would expect White and Harmes to be signed up soon and a spate of extensions in the next 6 to 9 months, even tho a lot of our high end talent (Petracca, Brayshaw, Salem, Viney, Tyson) are already signed to 2017 and beyond. Love this forward planning!

BTW I heard Mahoney say in a trade interview this morning that our goal is to improve our list and to improve our draft position. Perhaps we have earmarked our 'Big Fish' within our existing ranks and no longer need to chase one!!

White was given the second year of his RL stay, so he is done. Harmes is the one that should be signed up soon hopefully.

White could be given an upgrade to the seniors list...it didn't seem like we are letting him go.

I believe there will be a few more senior list spots available than we currently have.

I doubt it. They have already pushed him onto the RL for next year - they will not remove that flexibility by giving him a list spot now.

I suspect Howe's situation has delayed final decisions on one or more out of contract players. If Howe goes, which now seems likely, not only does it "free up a spot" but his dollars become available for distribution which might allow deals for (insert the name of the out of contract players of your choice) to be finalised.

Someone correct me if my maths here is wrong.

8 out as per the OP.
Melksham, Bugg, Kennedy, vandenBerg in.
Current picks:
3, 7, 46, 50, 80, 94.
My final move before next list lodgement is to promote Harmes, re-sign Michie and delist (to rookie) Hunt. Picks 3, 7, 46 and 50 will be live.
Not sure the benefit is there for delisting Terlich now for pick 80.

It's pick 80 OR PSD pick 6 OR best available delisted free agent OR 3rd round rookie spot (we can have an extra rookie).

The main reason I'd give him the boot is from the outside he looks like he'd just be playing out time and I can't see how that helps our culture.

If from the inside the club genuinely thinks he's a chance to get back in contention for games and is a leader at Casey then they should keep him.

Yep. I suppose it's still as I said earlier: if we're not going to play him, give him the flick. Might not play pick 80/PSD6 either, but that also could be another vandenBerg.

Yes, thought the same thing but assume the 2016 one is JKH

In that case there is three!

(But JKH is listed as Kennedy Harris). There is a Kennedy in both 2016 and 2017.

    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.
