Team Mgmt. Current Contract Status (AFL & AFLW) - Updated in OP

[Doss]

We'd be silly to get rid of Gregory.

Kid has potential.

We'd be silly to get rid of Gregory.

Kid has potential.

Rookie him then and give him another year or two at the flight plan. If Fletch retires give him one more year on the senior list.

 

[yaco55]

I think he will be moved on, after a promising start to the year he has petered out. His trade value would be pretty low.

Agree - Will definitely get picked up by another team - Especially those who need small defenders.

 

[yaco55]

I agree with this.

Fletcher is irrelevant to Carlisle and Hurley - Fletcher is holding back Pears.

 

[eth-dog]

Fletcher is irrelevant to Carlisle and Hurley - Fletcher is holding back Pears.

No. When Hurley/Fletch have missed this year it's been Carlisle going into defence instead of bringing in Pears. It's quite clear that they want to play Pears forward (spending all his time forward in the VFL except when we need a loose man in defence). If he retires this year I'd bet my bottom dollar Carlisle, Hurley and Hooker will play defence

 

[yaco55]

Pears missed 4 or 5 games around the first bye - Either Carlisle or Hooker will play forward unless someone jumps out of the ground.

 

[eth-dog]

Pears has played defence once this season

 

[ChampTurboBucko]

Club should be looking at getting the brothers on long term deals. The both of them.

God damn it.

 

[ChampTurboBucko]

God damn it.

You cannot deny the future of the club is predicated on signing myself and my lesser but still good brother jerret2zerrett to ten year contracts.

What players are out of contract this year and yet to resign?

Here's a list of players who are/were out of contract in 2014 and can't remember if they have resigned or not.

Daniher, Joe
Fletcher, Dustin
Gleeson, Martin
Gregory, Sean
Hams, Will
Hardingham, Kyle
Howlett, Ben
Jetta, Leroy
Kommer, Nicholas
Van Unen, Dylan
Winderlich, Jason
Zaharakis, David

 

[Zach Package]

Daniher is in year 2 of an initial 5 year deal.
Kommer got another 2 years.
Zaka got another 3 years in march.
Winderlich has a trigger clause for next year.

Desperate for Gleeson's signature

[craffles]

Updated list of out of contract players yet to resign in 2014.

Fletcher, Dustin - retired
Gleeson, Martin - 2 years
Gregory, Sean - delisted
Hams, Will - 1 year
Hardingham, Kyle - 1 year
Howlett, Ben - 2 years
Jetta, Leroy - delisted
Van Unen, Dylan - delisted
------------------------
Winderlich, Jason- Trigger clause

Highlighted in red what I think will happen, with Ambrose to be upgraded at the end of the year

 

[eth-dog]

Gregory is a project player, unless he's getting rookied I would be surprised if he was delisted

 

[daffo]

Jetta is the only player that will deff not be playing with us next year.

 

[eth-dog]

van Unen and Thurlow won't be on our list.

 

[daffo]

You're right about Thurlow but Van Unen will get another year IMO.

 

[eth-dog]

Based on what?

 

[lenny2013]

There will be definitely be 3 primary list changes and maybe 4 depending on such factors as retirements and if we could pick up dfa ruck man like Luke Lowden.

We are likely to use picks 19,49,4th rounder to upgrade Ambrose, and also in the market for a 3rd ruck ar la Lowden style.

 

[eth-dog]

If Licha's retirement rumours are true, here's my updated expectations:

Ashby: 1/2 years
Fletcher: 1 year/retire
Gleeson: 2 years
Gregory: 1/2 years (possibly to rookie list)
Hams: 1 year (possibly to rookie list)
Hardingham: 1 year
Howlett: 1/2 years
Jetta: delist
van Unen: delist
Winderlich: retire

rookies:
Ambrose: 2 years (upgrade)
Dell'Olio: delist
Rayner: 1 year
Steinberg: 1/2 years (promotion promised when Fletch retires)
Thurlow: delist

Which would leave us with 4-6 draft picks/rookie promotions/1 or 2 DFA signings

 

[Yoda_]

Delist:

Dyl Van Unen
Leroy Jetta
Jason Winderlich (retired)
Dustin Fletcher (retire/potential 1 more year)
Corey Dell'Ollio [rookie]
Fraser Thurlow [rookie]

Paddy Ambrose upgraded leaves us with picks 19, 50, 68 & 86 + 2 rookie draft selections should the obvious demotion of one of Hams or Gregory come to fruition.

 

[eth-dog]

Wouldn't that leave us 3 rookie picks since Rayner is Cat B?

 

[yodellinhank]

Fletcher is irrelevant to Carlisle and Hurley - Fletcher is holding back Pears.

Pears being no good anymore is holding back pears.
