Agree with others but the club may want to keep options open and offer 1 year in some cases. I would probably put Jordon up there on priority signing especially as he is an RFA this year (due to being delisted then rookied last year) and depending on how he plays I would like to see Weideman continue with us but right now he wouldn't be a top priority. definitely not an RFA, he's just a FA so no ability to match but can't see him wanting to go anywhere or any clubs really throwing any more coin at him than we'll offer as he's a pretty bog standard next tier midfielder which every club would have developing on their list already, i'd still expect an upgrade to the senior list tho

April 23, 20214 yr Author Updated for my Equal #1 favourite player: Christian Salem. 5 year contract. A demon until 2026.
April 23, 20214 yr Author My top 3 signings for this year: Oliver, Gawn and Salem are all wrapped up! Next lot: Luke Jackson: sign in 2021 to extend beyond next year - will cut out any noise of him returning to WA next year. Sam Weideman: see if he can earn a new contract. Christian Petracca: Not too worried about him now that Oliver and Salem have signed but would like him to sign sooner rather than later to forgo Free Agency and stop the nonsense that he is going to Collingwood. Angus Brayshaw: also OOC and FA next year - not sure where he sits in the pecking order but would love to see him stay a demon. Hey, why would any of our players want to leave!

April 23, 20214 yr I'm really rapt with how this all sits. Having Gawn, Oliver, Viney, Lever, May, Salem, Langdon, B Brown, Pickett, Rivers and Tomlinson all signed up to at least the end of 2023 is really good work IMO. Now to work on Petracca, Fritsch and Jackson.
April 23, 20214 yr The 2022 out-of-contract list is an interesting one. I don't really want to lose any of them on current form and in my view only Melksham and McDonald are at risk due to age and fluctuations in form. Both could easily earn contracts beyond then however. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few one year contracts given to fringe players to have a delisting buffer for next year.

We are heading for a time of great list stability and as you say some 1 year contracts to a many of 2021 OOC players. The ones that a likely to miss out are those with a history of injuries: Hore, J. Smith, AvB; Nietschke or time to retire: Jetta and Jones (even tho it will be sad to see them go).. That is 6 changes without too much thought. Baker, M. Brown, Daw may not get another go. Just those changes will make our list stronger and then there are trades.
April 28, 20214 yr Author Another of my 'priority' signing locked away: Updated for James Jordon re-signing till 2023. Edit: Correction for duplication of Spargo and Sparrow as advised by @whatwhat say what Edited April 28, 20214 yr by Lucifer's Hero

May 5, 20214 yr Better get him on the List LH just announced he is ours until 2029...!!!!! Waaaaaaahoooooooo.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I agree I see him as a priority signing for the club's future. Would be nice to sign at least one of Bedford or Chandler by the end of the year too. I think both have a future at the club, and will play a role this year given the chance!

May 13, 20214 yr luci, could i suggest you have a chat with mods such that when you update your excellent chart that the chart at the start of page 1 also gets updated (much like the membership thread). Makes it easier to quickly find the latest chart

Makes it easier to quickly find the latest chart Good idea. 'George' is a mod so he is able to edit and update the membership thread. The chart is an embedded image so it would be difficult to update and keep the formatting. An option might be for me to have open ended 'edit' facility for this thread but perhaps not technically possible and I copy the latest to the start of the thread. Or the mods may find a way to copy and 'lock' the latest version to the start of the thread. I would like to also keep the updates in the body of the thread so the on-going dialogue makes sense, especially to infrequent readers. @Demonlandwhat do you think the options might be?

May 13, 20214 yr Author Yes, easy to copy into a new post at the end of a thread. But I do not have access rights to 'edit' the first post or insert the latest table at the start of the thread.

May 13, 20214 yr Four long term chronic injury players could be delisted at seasons end. A few others Hibberd and ANB likely to be re-signed Melbourne have managed their list well.
