Great to see Banners has signed on for another 3 years. I heard a lot of talk in the beginning that he should be used as trade bait, but personally, I could not consider the idea.....

I got the news from Channel 10 which announced Banfield signing a 3 year contract. I'm not too sure if Merenda has signed or not, I haven't heard anything lately.

Great news for the club, the fans and of course for Banners. Im pretty sure Merenda has already signed.

I hope I can draw the conclusion that they think his knee is 100%. We missed him but it sure gave Rowan Jones an opportunity for experience.
Gret news regarding Banners.
His last two years haven't been that flash, but I think he may bounce back under Woosh.
At his best, he's one of our more consistent midfielders.
Hopefuly Merenda isn't to far away from signing. He Seems to be getting a bit of match fittness back, and could be set for a big year in 2002.

A bit harsh to say his last season wasn't too flash considering he did his knee in round 9. Assuming the knee holds up, he has some good footy left in him.
I'm also pretty sure Merenda has already signed. I think it's only big Troy left to sign, so MY fingers are crossed.... I'd say it's a sure thing though..

Surely we shouldve signed Wilson by now... whats taking the club so long?
Yeah, but he's been a bit up and down for the last couple of years.
I'm not sure he enjoyed playing the more attacking football Judgey wanted from him.
He's still an absolute class player though.
Maybe Wilson's been inundated with offers from other club's and he's just weighing up all his options.....
Seriously though, he's sure to want more than the one year contract he had for his 'rookie' season. As I've stated before, I think he could have 2-3 years ahead of him, although I can't see the club giving him more that a 2 year contract (giving themselves the option to reassess him after it expires).

Maybe the decision on FF is not finalised and how things shape up in preseason training under Woosha's eye will decide how things go.
Woosha still has the three options of Buszan, Cummings and Wilson. None of the three have signed and although Buz and Scotty have been delisted they could still be drafted. Sunday will sort out if Buz is going elsewhere. The December draft will determine the final position.
Of course I am speculating and the odds do heavily favour BB being retained but Buz is training with WCE and Woosha can't have seen a lot of BB before preseason training started so I wouldn't blame him if he kept his options open until he had chance to see what he felt was best.
