Thanks chook, will edit. :)

That's a helluva lot of players coming out of contract next year - half the squad. :eek:

Re: Who's contracted till when?

Re: Who's contracted till when?

IP - I think I can also add Sandilands and Headland for 2007 and M Carr 2006 - I also agree with all of your 'out of contracts'. Will be interesting to see if they are all offered new deals.
 
Re: Who's contracted till when?

1. Webster - out of contract
10. Cookie - out of contract
26. Copping - out of contract
36. Browne - out of contract
44.Warren - out of contract

So we have to delist at least two of the above.

Webster has done enough to stay on IMO.
 
Re: Who's contracted till when?

I reckon:
Webster - 2 years
Cookie - 1 year
Browne - 1 year

Warren - gorn
Copping - gorn

Parks and Macca on the vets list - 1 year each.

That gives us 3 spots on the main list and 4 new rookies. Any chance they'll re-rookie Juniper or Krieger?

I know I keep coming back to contracts...but is anyone else thinking this is a shyteload of players coming out of contract - many of whom may look at the "go home factor" (highlighted above). It's half the list!

Some may be candidates for delisting, some for trade - but there is some serious talent there that will need to be re-signed. It will be very interesting how the club manages the list over the next few years while the "window" is open.
 
Re: Who's contracted till when?

it's not necessarily a bad thing, means you can reapportion salaries and give us the maximum flexibility to resign the pav. That's probably the reasoning behind it. Sandi will probably get a significant pay rise too.

Farmer and Des probably get a bit less next time round which will free up some space. Couple of those probably get delisted (plus the 3 retirements that are likely next season, hopefully we have some rookies make an impact)
 
Re: Who's contracted till when?

Doesn't the cap go up next season and beyond with the new tv rights deal? Maybe that was part of the thinking in having a large group all out at the same time - we didn't know what would be available until recently, so pretty hard to sign players up. I'm sure I heard they were in negotiations with Sandilands before the end of the season - wouldn't be surprised to see quite a few re-signed before round 1 kicks off next year.

I think Sandi is pretty close atm, if not it will definitely be before round one for him and most of the guys mentioned.

One positive about our list management is the number of guys that we have got from the rookie list.

Although these guys like Sandi, Hayden, Webster, Crowley could probably get better deals if they shopped around, I'm sure they will repay some of the faith the club showed in them by opting to stay for a little less.

Crowley, Dodd, Drum, Sandilands, Peake, Pavlich and Schammer could all be targetted by rival clubs so best to sign them asap. If I was a coach of a team desperate for a ruckman I'd offer Sandilands $500,000pa, looks ready to dominate.

Browne has been told he'll get a 1 year deal.

Headland's next contract should be half what he is on now, freeing up money for the guys who have been performing.
 
Webster and Duffield re-sign

Luke Webster has signed on for next season, whilst Paul Duffield has been given a two-year contract.

Glad to have both players signed up as I believe Duffield will provide another running option off half-back and is adept with clean skills and composure.

Webster was a great addition to the line-up this season and he has the ability to play all over the ground. The flueny in his kicking is fantastic and always hits the target. His skills are crisp and damaging.

Good Luck to both boys in season '07.

Who will be delisted?
 
Re: Who's contracted till when?

Looks like we can add Webster (2007 - another one!) and Duffield (2008).

Maybe we should make this a sticky (Ripper, Sabre??) so we can keep track of the new contracts, especially with so many out next year?

Nothing against Webster, he is a handy player. But there is no way that he is more effective than Headland. I think a lot of supporters get frustrated with Headland because he was a no. 1 draft pick, was an expensive trade and is obviously skilled. So naturally there is the feeling that he is not living up to (huge) expectations. But he actually had a pretty good year, and a disappointing finals series. But he would be in my team ahead of Webster easily.

I've updated my original post with all the latest, and will continue to do so as new contracts are announced. :)
 
Webster gets 1 year, Duffield gets 2.

Webster, Duffield re-sign
7:02:29 PM Tue 17 October, 2006
Sportal for afl.com.au
Fremantle defender Luke Webster has re-signed for the 2007 season, while Paul Duffield has secured a two-year deal.

A national under-18 representative for Western Australia, 24-year-old Webster has had to overcome three knee reconstructions throughout his short career - the last of which came after he was injured playing for East Perth's in the WAFL preliminary final in 2003.

Webster had already undergone two knee reconstructions before making his AFL debut in 2003, and went on to play in the Dockers' first final later that year, a week before suffering his third serious injury.

Having played nine games this season, Webster recently won the best clubman award at Fremantle's best and fairest presentation.

Duffield meanwhile made his debut for the Dockers in the round five clash against St Kilda in Launceston, which was awarded to Fremantle several days later after the umpires had failed to hear the final siren when it first sounded.


A medium-sized midfielder, Duffield went on to play seven matches for the season after being elevated from the rookie list as a long-term replacement for Daniel Haines.

Duffield won the best WAFL player award at this month's Doig Medal presentation dinner.

I agree. Solomon may also play across half forward so that should be two infront of Headland. Unfortunately Des is one of Connolly's favourites so we will almost definately see him in the side round one. :mad:

You have to look at what he's there to do. Des's hardness at the contest and his application were first class this year. But he is not a natural at winning clearances. In the same way the Josh Carr is not able to kick 50m on either feet with any degree of accuracy.

Some of Des's passess to Pavlich in the later half of the season were sublime, and more often than not he makes the right decision. He certainly has a place.

You might also want to consider that forward pocket and half forward flank are graveyards for looking good. You rely on the quality of disposal coming in, and then have some monster half back flanker chasing your b*tt, and then have to deliver lace out to your forwards. Not for me thanks.
