Thanks to trikster for creating the initial list. Moved it here for mods to keep track and update it more easily.

Bold text indicate players are FAs at the end of the current season. Those that are so because they've previously been a free agent at another club, or a delisted free agent, are explicitly noted to avoid confusion. Italics indicate players that are FAs at the end of their current contract.

I spent a while trying to find the contract info of the players we have with unknown contracts when I made the initial list (I think it's my post here that trikster mentions in his post).

I'd like to think Martin's contract ends this year, but I think Paine and McGuane are on two year contracts.

Yeah, I did a bit of research when posting this up too, but it was mainly assumptions. Crisp probably wraps up his this year, assuming a two year contract upon being promoted which isn't unreasonable. Similarly Martin could be this year or next (two or three years), Paine probably in two years (maybe three) and McGuane this year or next (assuming one or two).
 
Just for interest, this is whether the players become free agents once their contract expires (bolded), or the first year they'd be a free agent

Im fairly sure Paine and McGuane are both this year.

Source? I've dug for info on them a few times and haven't turned up anything. I think you're right, BTW, at least for McGuane. I'm not sure about Paine.
 
Cant find any links but I am sure both came on two year deals in 2013. So the source is my gut feeling.

Didn't Cutler re-sign in Nov until 2017?

I said "Can you imagine the angst around here if Clarke, Gardiner, Close, Freeman, and Mayes all walked out of the club in the same year to their various home states and/or Victoria?"

You said "We aren't in any danger of losing Freeman to homesickness mate;)"

I said "thus the and/or Victoria bit..."

ie I put the words "and/or Victoria ..." in my first comment to take into account people on the list who not only left here to go 'home' but also those who choose to go to the glorious heartland of the game in Victoria...
 
I am a little concerned that so few contract extensions have been signed off this year. It does seem as if almost all other clubs are making regular announcements and we are very quiet on this front...I wonder what's happening behind the scenes?

Someone else would have the updated list but there aren't many to sign. We won't be in any rush to sign Leuey, Aish, Golby, Maguire, Staker and Adcock. I think the only one is Harwood who's probably borderline important to the squad.

Would be good to get next years free agents signed up early though.

In fairness we re-signed a lot of players last year. It has been quiet so far this year, but there have been a number of stories about contracts for Leuey, Adcock and Aish waiting until the end of the year now. There was also a story recently that we are starting work on players our of contract next year already. Taylor, Gardner, Redden, Andrews and Rich to name but a few are out of contract next year and must be absolute priorities for re-signing

We finally have confirmation that McGuane is off contract this year so only had a two year deal, as most expected. Given the lack of corresponding articles for Paine I'm going to take a punt that he got a three year deal to persuade him to come north as part of the Karnezis trade and hence is off contract at the end of next year.

Our known delistings have been struck out for the time being until the official list lodgement.

I feel that anyone who has read the list in the OP owe their apologies to Jordan Bourke who has gone unnoticedly absent in the list from its creation up until incorporating his delisting. :oops:

Punt proven correct by our moving him on to the rookie list for 2016.
 
Stef Martin has signed a 3 year extension, keeping him with us until the end of the 2019 season.

According to the above list - another 17 senior list players off contract at end of 2016.
:eek:

10 vitals: Rich, Mayes, Taylor, Zorko, Green, Gardiner, Paparone, Clarke, Dawson + McGrath (all aged 19 - 26).
7 others: West, Bewick, Lester, McGuiness, Watts, Clayton + Merrett.
