Theres a valid argument that all of those guys outside of Fordham should get a new contract. I really hope we keep Nielson on but he would be borderline

Surely the list management group wont keep all of Thompson, Hansen, Waite and Gibson though - hard to argue with their form this year though
It's goign to be interesting to see what we do at the end of the year. Like you say, you could make cases for just about all of those guys to get new contracts but obviously that can't happen.

If I had to guess at this stage of the year I would say that Thompson will retire, Hansen might leave via free agency, Swallow will be traded for peanuts and one of Wagner, Nielson or Mountford will be delisted then re-rookied. Difficult decisions though. We might also trade players to get currency for the Kelly trade if he nominates us.

We'll be keeping Nielsen 99.9% IMO.

Been unlucky with injury and and now getting a clear run at is showing good signs. Was very good in the VFL last week and is growing each week.

I guess if we need list spots it doesnt necessarily have to come from that out of contract list (although you would expect at least 1 or 2 to go)

Goldy may be traded
Swallow may retire
Wright (?? - cursed with injury)

If you add say Thompson retiring (if he is in current form i dont want him to though) then we have 3 - 4 list spots with the potential for Kelly (or another trade) coming in and 2-3 spots for the draft
 
I thought it would be good if we had a thread to keep track of the players' contracts.

I'm updating the OP with each announcement.

Can the mods please update the OP.

I've just updated Froggy and Durds. Have a squiz to see if any others require updating.
 
But Higgins, whose latest contract expires next year, insists there is no regret associated with the Western Bulldogs' 2016 fairytale.


So his contract ends in 2018. Mods, could you please update the contracts thread.
 
OP updated with Higgo's 2018 contract.

We are going to be making some serious tough calls at the end of this year. Those senior guys are all in good form and deserve a 1 year extension unless they die off at the end of the season

Ive said it a million times but i hope we extend Nielson for another year

Could not give you 3 names to delist/retire at seasons end.

Waite? Mullett?

Wright is contracted for next year, and before his injury offered more than Mullett, in my opinion.
Agreed. I'm a big Sammy Wright fan but Fishy has made big strides this year and Sam is coming from a long way back now. I still think he offers more defensively but he'd be competing with Jmac, Fishy or EVW for a spot right now. (Or, ahem, Atley.)

Swallow, Waite might retire, we might call time on Gibson and or Thompson, Hansen could seek a F/A deal and anyone of Maj, Goldy and Ats could be traded. Thought Jacobs might be cooked with his foot injury but he's coming back. Wright is a worry.
That's all pretty speculative outside of Swallow though. I know Gibson and Thompson have been good this year but they might be phased out with potentially a year or two to play like Boomer.

I don't reckon the cuts are going to be that savage this year if the draft watchers are correct.

We might only delist the compulsory three players.
You have to take three in the draft (or promote rookies to make it to 3) and we're certain to bring in at least one trade or free agent. I guess you're factoring in players being traded out or taken by other clubs as FAs though.

Yep.

Let's say we drop picks 1-2 & 18-19 on JK and end up with a 2nd & 3rd round pick.

I reckon we might only use those 2 picks and upgrade Zurhaar with the 3rde pick.

Jamie MacMillan wrote a big article about how he loves the club and would never consider leaving, I've heard it personally from him too at last year's cocktail party. I wouldn't worry about him.
Liam Anthony said the same and look how that ended. Money talks LB, and since I've been avoiding the daily yum cha at Lucky Chans, the money has been falling out of wallet.
