Contracts

[ImperialPurple]

With clubs needing to use 3 picks in the draft, and Freo looking to elevate Crowley, Warren and Duffield, the senior list needs to be trimmed down by 6 players.

I would think that Woodsy will be shown the door; and I would think that the others will come from a selection of Andrew Siegert, Dylan Smith, Luke Webster, Daniel Haines, Andrew Browne.

Does anyone know that contractual status of any of these guys? Or any others that are unlikely to get a chance at the top level.

There are other candidates who could be "let go", but contracts for another year prevent that from happening - unless traded. And among the rest, I can't see there would be anyone of real interest to other clubs.

I also think that any trading will be player for player - not player for draft pick, as CC has already said that they will possibly just use 2 picks to draft young guys, and the third to re-draft someone. So they won't be after any more draft picks - possibly just to upgrade the ones they have.

Anyway - my question in short form is, who is "eligible" for delisting? Anyone know?

Is Macca ellegible for the Vets list next year? If he is that would cut the list to five.

note that many of my assumptions are wrong. Also recent contracts haven't been added.

Dunn and Johnson have since been signed. The most noteable uncontracted player is Medhurst.

Well Haines was reselected at pick 69 in last years draft, so that leaves him with another years contract up his sleeve does it not?

I think you're right IP it will be out of those 5 players who will get the chop. Browne and Webster being chances of being redrafted if someone doesn't beat us to them. It'd be kinda stupid to give up a quick midfielder with Brownes talent.

Macca will be eligable for the veterans list.

Not sure, I think you only HAVE to get a 2 year deal the first time you get drafted.

Good.
