My hunch is Hawthorn will be the team he will go to should he leave.
They more than anyone will give him the chance of success & Sam Mitchell won't go too much longer.

Ch.7 and FoxFooty commentators will be praying that it won't happen anytime soon.

I wouldn't have considered Hawthorn. Hawks would probably offer him about the same we could.
Carlton might offer him a Tom Boyd deal.
i am sure Mitchell's year spell in the Neafl wont enter his mind

Love Mitchell and want to keep him but............

In player value terms, inside midfielders are a dime a dozen. It's not fair but that's how it is. Mitchell is probably worth 2 extra clearances per game over and above whoever might be next cab off the rank. If, say, we're offering $500k and Carlton are offering $700k, let Carlton have him and we'll take the trade. It'll be a good one and we keep regenerating our list. Hewett, Heeney and Mills will likely be ready to step up into the midfield next year.

Heeney's the one we need to keep. He's the most complete footballer we've had in years.
 
Laidler signed on for two more
 
Am I reading it correctly that Heeney is out of contract year's end?

Surely clubs will through the cheque book at him and say name your price?

All players taken in the National Draft are subject to a standard minimum two year contract. We likely have already re-signed him for year 3 and maybe beyond before the start of last season (same with Mills) but haven't gone public with it.

Without the confirmation for the purposes of this list we list all drafted players as two years and rookies at one year
 
Luckily, no. He's not an unrestricted or restricted free agent and I can't envision any circumstance in which he'd request or we'd facilitate a trade. Don't stress, he'll re-sign.
Thanks kneecapper, stressed I was!

Thanks for the clarification
 
Yeah only way you lose young guns is like Aish where they request trade.
Boyd is another example. But GWS could have very easily played hardball on that and, thus far, it shows exactly why most sensible clubs are reluctant to throw a bunch of money at promising rather than proven players. Just crazy that they had 10% of their cap playing VFL last year and on the same $$ as Lance Franklin.
