Our Uncontracted Players

Correct me if I am wrong but the following players are out of contract this year.

Mitch Clark
Pearce Hanley
Callum Barlett
Jesse O'Brien?
Amon Buchanan
Bryce Retzlaff
Cheynee Stiller

Who will get offered another contract or who could get poached by GWS?

IMHO:
Clarke - enough said about this one and many threads on this.
Hanley - need to contract for another 3 - or till he decides to go home to take over the potato farm
Barlett - i thought he was still under contract. If not true Bartlett - he should definately be offered another 2 year deal which would limit our exposure to career threatening injuries (which are hopefully done now) - but take him beyond the GWS window and give him a chance to develop into a great midfielder. He should be in the mood to extend given the support through his injuries but sometimes this results in a player wanting a 'fresh start'... Would not be upset with 3 year deal....
On the fence about Retzlaff but have to give him a go for the next few years, particularly with the current height issues.
Buchanan would have been cut if he was not contracted to us beyond 2011. Paying for him anyway and hes probably good around the club and an influence in terms of the hard footy you know Vossie loves (I love how he attacks the game which is nice and hard at it).
Stiller. Not shattered if GWS come and offer but think they may be looking elsewhere. He did get a little better this year, but still....

Mitch Clark - Would sell his grandmas jewel's for some more money. Only going home for the coin.

Pearce Hanley - Re-signed a couple of weeks ago. I believe 3 years, whichis great news as there were a few clubs after him

Callum Barlett - Still contracted. Not sure for how long. I wouldn't give him more than 2 though.

Jesse O'Brien? Not sure, but would only give him one because there is other dead wood to go first.

Amon Buchanan - Contracted unfortunately. Voss must have been drunk to get him in the first place. Has a crack, but he's done

Bryce Retzlaff - Not sure, but you would have to give him another gig. Still seems raw, but is learning.

Cheynee Stiller - Not sure. Ill pay his contract for him not to play. PLEASE take him GWS.

I think Beams may also be out of contract. I thought he signed a one year contract ?

I've always assumed that since a player getting promoted to the senior list from the rookie list happens through the draft, it's the standard two year contract but realistically I've got no basis for that assumption.
 
Jesse O'Brien? Not sure, but would only give him one because there is other dead wood to go first.

Mostly agree with the rest but really on J'OB? I thought he showed quite a bit early in the year and see him as a real chance to be best 22 for a few years to come. What are other people's thoughts on this?
 
Jesse O is still very raw. He'll be one of those footballers who reach their potential later than most I think. Sort of has all the tools but has a lot to learn about how to best use them. I hope the Lions persist with him similar to how they have with Sheldon.

I'm pretty certain Goose Maguire is out of contract but I don't think GWS will be all that keen on him.

where did you see that Hanley had signed a new contract. I know that there was talk of him having negotiations and keen to sign but I haven't received an email or text from the club about him, he certainly wasn't in that last group of signings that were announced.

happy if you have some inside knowledge that has yet been released by the club but at this stage i'm pretty sure Pearce hasn't signed on yet.

more than happy to be proven wrong though
 
I think maybe with Hanley they might have been waiting on Mitch Clark's contract to work out the final details. Hopefully that means it can be signed and announced soon.
