Next year we will be well positioned to pick up a very good player with the amount of players who could well be out the door through retirement or de-listed.
Geary , Ryder , Roberton , Frawley , McKernan and players like Dunstan , Carlisle , Lonie , Ross , Kent , Joyce all off contract - none of these are on massive money but it leaves more than enough room to bring in another A level player and of course any extra cash will be used for re - contracting players we need to keep.

Hopefully Carlilse and Ross have great years and we want to keep them

Aside from us picking up Frawley have any other clubs signed up DFA's yet?

The above reasons are why I want us to target Jackson Callow in the draft, a more solid Josh Battle

, which we all know can play either end of the ground. Because of Mings building tank I’d probably throw him to CHF & put Callow in the goal square.
Besides another Jack in the side wouldn’t go astray.

Just a news story on him on channel 9 news.
Nice mover, big lump of a lad

So a bloke that was retired and a bloke no one has heard of - maybe clubs are gonna wait till the 2nd DFA period. I can't believe that no one wants Sav.

If it ends up as Pick 8 for Saad and Savage can't get a contract - its absolute confirmation that 2020 was a very strange year!!!

 

[King_Steele]

Gallucci time?

triggering bro

 

[tomjoad]

They might be displeased, but noone else wanted them. If they tmwant more years or $$$ they obviously have to work harder.

I think big Jake has pulled his weight...despite the rumours about attitude, or personality clash with Ratts. I think the problem with his contract is related to his underlying back issues. It makes him a year on year proposition, although no doubt he's taken a pay cut this contract. Lonie is a victim of circumstance...he's small and not overly fast...Butler, Gresh & possibly Higgins (if as good as some think) are more the full package. He is a clever player though...and applies pressure...and in my opinion is a better player than Kent. I'm happy he signed on, but yeah, it's up to him to own his spot.

I agree, i think Lonie is better than Kent.

Lonie at times is quite selfish in terms of going for me call or doing the team thing. One game this year he did the self ish thing. He got dropped a for a couple of weeks or more, came back and was a different player.

i know its 2 months late but was wondering if anyone had inside word on why jack bell was let go after 1 year? the kid had talent?

There was a single poster saying his training levels weren't good enough.
Outside of that, nothing.

I was disappointed to see him go - not really knowing much about him apart from people saying he moved very well - then I had to remind myself he was a rookie pick - more often than not there is good reason rookie picks weren't drafted on to a main list - there will be exceptions and we always hope for that - but rookies are not seen as being as good as the guys who go in the main draft

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

It was a s**t year to be rookied as a project ruck. List spots are at a premium now.

good news is that rucks are being given chances much later down the track. If he’s good enough he’ll get another go.

 

[gringo2011]

I think it was just list size reduction. He's super thin and project ruckmen take a long time. He looked promising to me. I can see him getting another go in a few years after building his body up.

Well Alabaskis must have come on. Admittedly a big lump, but had extremely limited football nous and skill from what I saw at training.

Bell has Alabakis covered in all aspects ....suprised with the release of Bell myself .

Big Sam had a contract already for next year , could‘nt play in senior team at lower level competition
wasn’t good enough.

As have said before think Gags has done a great job overall , but the McKenzie contract extension
& the unnecessary contract extension for Geary at the time for me are mistakes in hindsight.

We could have picked another young delisted Free Agent and rookie listed Geary ,spoken
to others connected with the club they felt it was disrespectful, I didn’t .

Yeah, he was lucky.

I, for one, agree with the club.
Gears has one more year and I think it would have been very disrespectful of them to put him on the rookie list.
We are better than that.

 

[BrutThough]

Perks of being a Cat B rookie.

I think it's the culture setter factor that gets him another year. We have been to a few club events and from observing Geary from a distance, he really seems to have an ability to be on the same level with all the players over every age group, even in the Bruce, Newnes era of isolated cliques. His contribution is probably what he gives outside of footy as much as on field.

He's also an exemplary trainer so sets levels of expectation. To me I hope he doesn't play 23 games next year but I can see the logic in keeping him as well. We have an unusually large contingent of players from other clubs so risk losing some of the passion for the jumper with out his type of heart and soul attachment.

There would be some romance to the little battler holding up a premiership cup too. He's almost the ideal person to do it as far as he's earned everything he's ever achieved the hard way. It would be a beautiful story, the little pack donkey winning the Melbourne cup.

I reckon it’s a great move by us, 1 year with triggers meaning if Carlisle wants to prolong his career then he has to be at his best. Always felt with Carlisle more than most that he was much better towards the end of his deal.

He was great towards the end of the year for us, I’m sure it was partly as he wanted us to go deeper into finals but he was also playing for a contract so wanting to up his value for us and to show other clubs what he has got.

An in form Jake is a huge asset to the team.

He is a small forward one of the hardest positions on the ground, I think you need to be a little selfish to play the spot well
Dammed if you dammed if you don't, you can do 20 pressure acts but if you don't kick a goal thats what people will look at

Nah i saw it on the field In one game, and then he didn't get a game again for a couple of weeks or more. People on here also noticed it.
