Essendon player contract status

[ant555]

Mods, do you think this thread can be stuck along with the trade thread.? It can then be updated and used by all to see who is signed and not signed rather than simply having a continual guessing game about contracts

if hennaman and bolton are at the club next year ill crack it, both terrible and just block spots on the list for rookies and players when can get in the draft

 

[AnGuS#6]

Hes had 2 years on the rookie list! So he has either got to be elevated to the senior list or he's out the door

I'm hoping we re-draft him as a Rookie, I dont think he's shown enough to be on our senior list, but he's got some potential.

He can't be, he either has to be promoted or he's gone

The mature age rookie rule applies to players over the age of 23. Each club will be able to draft one player under this rule. However, that player cannot have been on an AFL list in the past. This means blokes like Woewodin, Cupido etc do not qualify.

Ben Jolley is still young enough to be on a rookie list, with 23 being the cut off age. He can be rookied by Essendon again next season but to do that we have to re-rookie him via the draft.

That means, we have to let him go. He nominates for the National Draft, doesn't get picked up, get's over looked in the PSD and is still there when our pick in the rookie draft comes around.

So Jolley doesn't qualify for the mature rookie rule, because he's not old enough and has been on an AFL list. But he can be re-rookied if he's still there when we have our pick in the rookie draft.

They must be close to signing him or he would have been offerd up in trade week.

 

[Mrs Mercuri]

Whats happening with the contracts of McPhee, Pev, Johns and Nash?? I hope they get signed up very quickly.

Nash may have signed a contract last week well according to the advertiser he had. Mcphee and Johns are said to be close to signing and Peveril might be on the chopping block.

 

[Longy413]

Nash, two years.

Heard from someone in footy but not at essendon that Peverill is in a lot of trouble and wont be on our list next year.

Strange then that weren't even rumours (at least to my knowledge) of him being put up for trade. Even bolts got one.

[Bender The Offender]

somes news is that pev has signed a one year deal.


Essendon has today started the process of confirming its playing list for the 2007 season by delisting three players from its primary list as well as two rookies.

Aaron Henneman, Joel Reynolds and Tristan Cartledge were all told in separate meetings with coach Kevin Sheedy their contracts would not be extended next season, while rookies Ben Jolley and Tim O’Keefe have also been delisted.

With Dean Rioli (retired) and Dean Solomon (traded) also no longer on the primary list, Essendon has five spots available at this stage come the November draft.

Essendon has six selections in the first 47 at the National Draft and will also likely use the second selection it has at the pre-season draft, so two more places will need to be made available.

One will depend on what transpires with the listing of Adam Ramanauskas while he undergoes chemotherapy while the other will mean a further de-listing will need to be made.

Ongoing shoulder injuries made it difficult for Henneman to play his best football in recent years and he was unable to play a game during 2006. After making his debut for Essendon in 2000, he played 58 games for the Bombers but being sidelined so often made it impossible for him to string games together.

Henneman played 18 games at centre half-back the year Essendon played in the 2001 Grand Final and he looked set to make that position his own before injuries struck him down.

"With Aaron he has been very unlucky and it’s probably been seven years since he played his first match. He didn’t play a game last year when his shoulder operation didn’t come up. How long do you wait and we don’t know what is out there in the draft. He is even a player you could probably look at drafting back," Sheedy explained.

Reynolds was drafted to the Bombers as selection 31 in the 2001 National Draft and in his five seasons at the club he managed 38 games. His career was crippled with injuries and bad luck including glandular fever, osteitis pubis and stress fractures. Unable to take a trick with his body, he struggled to play his best football.

"In Reynolds’ case, he has been here five years and probably hasn’t cemented his place in the side. He has played about 30 games and probably has to get a little bit more in the possession area."

With limited chances at senior level, Cartledge was unable to force his way into the side consistently since being drafted in 2002, playing just seven games since making his debut last year.

Cartledge was brought to the club with the expectation it would take him a while to mature however the development of Patrick Ryder made it difficult for him to cement senior selection.

"Tristan is still very young, but what has happened in football is that the ruckmen are now up to 206cm and maybe that is where the game is going.

"He is a young ruckman, he has to do a lot of work and he knows that. We have spoken about it and he might be a player that could play forward and back too, because he is quite athletic.

"But we have to make way to make some changes on our list," Sheedy said.

In further news at Windy Hill today, midfielder Damien Peverill has accepted a new one-year deal with the club. Peverill has played 115 games for the club after debuting in 2001 following his promotion from the rookie list.

You may be correct but the list i have used have him out of contract in 2006. Didnt he sign on for two years and then get a one year extention at the end of his first year?

I think your right he signed a 1 year extension after his first year

 

[Longy413]

I thought he renegotiated a three year (2005-2007) deal towards the end of his first year.

I stand to be corrected though.
