List Mgmt. Contract Status

[SilentHunter_]

Well sounds like we're locking everyone in. Just need mitchell.

 

[RainMachine]

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.

Im sure there's some kind of unspoken understanding within the club that you cannot go to the hawks.

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.

[Cadsky]

Just Heeney, Mitchell, Papley and Lloyd to go, in that order. The rest meh

Heeney, Hewitt, Lloyd, Mitchell and Robinson are the last 5 I'm concerned about. Papley we have the Rookie List rights to for next year anyway so he'll be ungraded without much fuss

 

[Kapanis]

Am I reading it correctly that Heeney is out of contract year's end?

That's standard for drafted players.

 

[Kapanis]

That's standard for drafted players.

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

 

[robbieando]

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

 

[kneecapper]

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

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.

 

[miggs]

Anyone know what type of contract May at the suns has? Would love him in our backline

 

[Swansujelly]

Perhaps the players have done a hawthorn and agreed to take slightly less to stay together?

i have a feeling thats been going on for a while now.

 

[Superstar swan]

Absolutely 0 concerns about heeney ever leaving the swans. Will be a captain one day

 

[robbieando]

Just been confirmed Mills signed a contract extension until the end of 2018 soon after being drafted. Club kept it quiet

Likely Heeney did the same until the end of 2017

 

[Edmund hunt]

What is the latest on Tom Mitchell?
