Brownlow Medallist
Season is over as far as finals are concerned, and I expect any more retirements to start trickling out soon, so here's the thread for the third year running, go to source for all changes to the playing list over the break.
Nobody goes on the list until there's at least an official club statement, or the name is read out at the draft. Plenty of space for rumours, bargains and lies in the Trading & Free Agency and Draft... are we even bothering with a Draft thread this year? megathreads.
