My sources tell me straight swap for Jack Riewoldt

Whether this comes off or not, I'd be happy with it. Allows Sammy to go back into defence, giving Maysie more leeway to intercept and attack. Then we go after some hard bodies experienced mids (free agents preferably) Barlow, De Boer, Ellis-Yolmen(not sure if he's contracted or not) come to mind, and even Mayne as a defensive fwd(doing a deal with Freo for Matera). This then allows us to use our draft picks to go get our Academy kids, and the best U18 talent available.
Which also allows us to then progress their development at the required rate, rather than throwing them in the deep end before they're ready, as we've done in the past.
All in all, our Suns go forward...............:D

Yeah reading the article again it does'nt state if he will be upgraded or if they have extended his rookie contract.
Can they extend the rookie contract?
i thought they have to be either upgraded or delisted once their rookie contract is up?

Joyce has a two year deal, all but confirming that he's getting an upgrade to the senior list.

Wait, so our options with him were either to extend his rookie contract to a 2nd (and final) year, delist/cut him from the rookie list, or upgrade him?

Good on him, took his chance with both hands and is reaping the rewards. Considering some of us weren't even expecting him to be drafted at all (Budarick was the one being talked about most) it's been quite a rise. Its also refreshing to have someone sign so quickly and easily. We should draft all our players from the GC area ;)

So that's minimum 4 players needing to leave or be delisted

3 through the draft plus Joyce

Is the rule still in place that rookie upgrades count as a draft pick? Cos if so then it is still technically only 3 minimum. Although we already know of 3 players who wont be on the list next season, and we still have more delistings to come.

Russell and Tape were the obvious ones. I don't care about rookies because their impact on us were minimal, but I'm interested to see what we end up doing with the uncontracted non-delistees.

That's 4 confirmed open senior spots now.

Schade and Matera (Contracted but possibly on the market)

Leslie (uncontracted but would have currency in trade period)

Clay Cameron (on the cusp - depends on how many come and go - could be delisted and redrafted as a rookie)

Russell, Tape and Stanley were good clubman and were serviceable however i do feel like Tape and Russell didn't live up to their potential. Am i right in saying that Lynch, Swallow and Day are the only two remaining players from the original 2010 draft now that Prestia and Tape are gone.


You've named 3 players.
