Bolded are the ones only worth keeping IMO. Possibly Wallace as well.

I hope we re-sign Wallace, Hellier, Borthwick and Indovino for various reasons.
Getting hold of Tahana appears to be a decent coup. I'm not sure what's gone on with him of late but a year ago he was rated one of SA's better draft prospects. He's still only 19 so hopefully this move will work out well for all concerned. Chippendale (as mentioned elsewhere) is a SANFL premiership player, he's had plenty of injuries but could be another excellent signing.
There's been nothing official from the club confirming that Jackson Starcevich will be playing for us in 2017 (there's just been the players' claim in an NT newspaper article), so it will be interesting to see what happens with that one. It seems reasonable to think Michael Still will try his luck elsewhere next year, so we do have a vacancy for a tall forward or two to fill.
Perhaps our female supporters might be happy with a Chippendale.
Though at 85cm weight it leaves a lot to the imagination.
Haven't you heard...size doesn't matter...

It's accurate to about Round 16 of the 2016 season. Matheson is listed as "REHAB" in the link, yet he came off of the Rehab list and played again late in the year.
Of the unaccounted, I'd like to retain Still (gun forward when fit), Wallace (handy back pocket/running half back small), Hellier (leadership), and Indovino. Not fussed about any of the rest, bar maybe Josh Turner (aka Mini Lingy)...

I don't mind Jesse Wallin either - He's got a bit of pace to work with.

I remember after his 17th year people where talking about him as a 1st Round Pick.
So be very interesting to Follow him.
Interesting to Find out why he Decided to leave SA for Collingwood(Victoria) and Choose the VFL over the SANL

You'd be surprised how much more you can make playing in the Ammos vs the VFL, although I have heard they're looking to put a salary cap in to combat spiraling player payments in 2017.
VAFA players don't earn a cent as far as I'm aware
His wife will be the bread winner in the family now.

In leagues outside of the VAFA.

Ah, should have read properly. Yes, you're right, the VAFA is a genuine non-paying amateur league. No idea why Brown would give up the $$$ he could get elsewhere tbh.

Wouldn't have thought so Dave. He could have played in the EDFL or another similar league with pretty casual training for some pretty nice $$$ in addition to any job he has.

I have serious doubts that any VAFA clubs have the clout to organise high paying jobs to lure players in Dave...So he be getting money from his Job
VAFA don't pay players
