Eight extend until 2015: Cameron, Coniglio, Greene, Treloar, Smith, Mohr, Townsend and Golds

[Scully2Folau]

Jess Ries (media manager) just tweeted that there's an announcement at 2:30pm, and last night Fox Sports tweeted that Dave Matthews would be announcing player signings today.

We can only assume it'll be these boys:

It looks like Cameron, Greene, Coniglio and Giles will be amongst them, the others a little harder to tell. Suggestions have included Townsend, Tyson, Treloar, Smith.

Bugg, Shiel, Tomlinson, Buntine and Kennedy were already locked up through 2015 earlier in the year, in all likelihood it'll be the same for these guys.

Huge news for the club to lock up this kind of talent early in the piece.

 

[Scully2Folau]

My guess: (L-R) Treloar, Giles, Coniglio, Townsend, Cameron, Greene, Tyson

 

[IanW]

My guess: (L-R) Treloar, Giles, Coniglio, Townsend, Cameron, Greene, Tyson

Huge news if it's true.

And Im pretty sure I recognise the broad shoulders of Cameron, the height of Giles, the no-step-backwards stance of Greene and the carefully-managed hairstyle of Cogs.

I might make the suggestion that there is no Taylor Adams and thus there would be no Devon Smith.

Maybe Shaun Edwards?

How many signings/extensions did The Suns get in their first year?

 

[Scully2Folau]

Maybe Shaun Edwards?

Good point, maybe they'll be in the next batch with Patton...

Yeah looking at it Edwards could be one of the oranges. I guess we'll find out in two hours!

 

[Danair]

Boy oh boy, wowee!

Suck it Vics (and wa clubs if Coniglio is one)

 

[.Shotties.]

Cameron and Coniglio are big, big re-signings. To the end of 2015 too.

 

[Scully2Folau]

Make that EIGHT:

Coniglio, Smith, Greene, Golds, Mohr, Townsend, Treloar, Cameron

 

[Danair]

All you guys really need to sign now is Patton and Tyson.

 

[Scully2Folau]

Looking at 'Giles' in the secret seven, I can now see Mohr... Haha

 

[Mountain Giant]

Has Mohr done any media work?

 

[Scully2Folau]

As David Matthews points out, all of the record 7 Rising Star nominees have now extended until 2015.

 

[IanW]

This is remarkably good news for the club - but I'd still be happier if I saw Giles and o`hAilpin resigned.

 

[Giant Josh]

Awesome news... So good to head into the off season with such a sense of optimism for the years ahead!

 

[Danair]

I don't think you have to worry about O'Hailpin, considering he was delisted by Carlton and has been out for the year with a torn ACL.

You really have to give it up for the Lamberts and the whole Breakfast Point campus idea, the young guys have obviously formed a bond together.

Every Vic club would've been lining up to poach Cameron and I always thought Coniglio would go back to WA, with all the HUN rumours that he didn't want to move to Sydney.

GWS must be relieved they didn't drop the rumoured 1.5mil a year during the offseason on Cloke!

 

[Mr Eagle]

That's some good investment right there.

 

[Scully2Folau]

Giles will be an interesting one - unless I'm forgetting someone, he's out most valuable player coming out of contract. If anyone who was going to test the market, it'd be him. Then again, they could be negotiating terms with him as we speak...

 

[captainMyCaptain]

The mail is very strong that Giles is on the trade table, as we are after a ruck who will win the hit-outs to advantage on a more regular basis. But as always time will tell.

 

[snitzel]

If Giles left it would be a slap in the face to GWS? They did give him a go after being with port for 4 years not getting a game and then being delisted right?

Wouldn't mind seeing Adams resign soon, Hoskin-Elliot and Tyson I want to see stay.

Players like Sumner and Haynes have not shown as much this year but they are high draft picks and of course need more time.

Sam Frost is a surprise package and seems to bust his gut because he was over looked in the draft and picked up as a rookie, GWS having faith and extending his contract would make him explode I would think.

 

[IanW]

I see it the other way around - Giles has played his guts out for GWS, beating Brogan out as the #1 ruckman. From his point of view, its a slap in the face to not be offered a contract extension at something better than minimum wage.

I can definitely see interest in him from Port, St Kilda and Collingwood.

 

[captainMyCaptain]

On Giles its more of a case of us wanting to trade him rather then Giles not wanting to re-sign.

Have to say very surprised that we have extended Golds contract but clearly the club sees something him that I haven't spotted yet.

You can add the bombers and the dockers to that list, as there is a possibility we could swap rucks with either one of these teams

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

Gotta be happy with that.

Another example of how clueless the hun is
