Good news regarding King. Have watched him since his under 18s days and you just know there is something definitely there yet to be untapped. His last game against Essendon in the VFL was really exciting. Don't afraid to fly over and crash into packs considering he is still slight. Hoping he has a big summer in the weights room.

Particularly happy about Stretch, looks a handy player.

Shitz if that's the case I will be more than happy to be your wing man!

Great news!

Was very impressed with what Stretch and ANB showed this year. Will be very exciting prospects with another couple of pre-seasons under their belts. King is a project and it's great to see the club is being patient with the (skinny) big man... he has 'something'...

Great news! Think White is a little stiff not to get promoted onto the senior list, but very happy with all 4 extensions.

Big year for King in 2016. He'll either show that he's got what it takes and earn that promotion or it will be goodnight.

I think that you will find that White also has something! Our selection of the four rookies last year was inspired. Obviously Vanders and Harmes were lucky to get a promotion into the Ones!

Good stuff. As long as they are hungry to succeed

Good news. White will get his chance next year if good enough.

King needs to keep developing to be able to replace one of Dawes or Pedo next year...

And I thought my Friday couldn't get any better. Great news.

I'm most excited by the King contract. He looks pretty special.

Very happy with these signings

What is Jayden Hunt status

King was a certainty to get another year after Fitzy was delisted. Still think he will be a player.

I'm most exited by the King contract. He looks pretty special.

He or you are leaving?

Very happy with these signings

What is Jayden Hunt status

Very curious to learn the answer to this question.. if it was me, I'd rookie him.

More interested in hearing about a 6-9 yr deal signed with Hogan.

So that leaves two places on the rookie list. You'd have to think that VandenBerg gets elevated. I would have though Harmes has shown enough to be elevated as well. So we'd be looking for 2 rookies next year. Good point suggesting rookying Hunt, so maybe only 1.

It's implied IT.

As for Harmes, i'd keep him on the RL, hasn't done anything much to suggest that he will add something decent to starting 21 (22 from next year, yay)

So I may have missed it, have we officially upgraded Harmes? He's the only odd one out from our Rookie List from last year now

It's implied IT.

Ooo, that's tough. He must've been within a beesdick of a Rising Star nomination in the last round.

He'd be ahead of M Jones, JKH and Kent in terms of playing similar position for mine, he'd be in my best 22 next year thats for sure.

Those contested marks Harmes took in the forward line to kick goals in the last game against GWS were pretty special. Plenty to like I would have thought.

Still no Toumpas

I believe both Harmes and King have been on the rookie list for 2 years now. You can only have one 3rd year rookie, that is King. That being said, Harmes has to be cut or upgraded. I'm guessing the latter
