Hi all,

(This isn't a troll) - I have been compiling a list of each club's players and their contractual status (to view, click here - http://www.magpies.net/nick/bb/viewtopic.php?t=25648 ), and I'm wondering if you can help me out here.

Are there any changes to be made to the following list/do you know the status of players 'unknown'?

Richmond:
Contracted:
Pat Bowden (2007)
Nathan G Brown
Travis Casserly (2007)
Brett Deledio (2008)
Brent Hartigan (2007)
Cleve Hughes (2007)
Kelvin Moore (2007)
Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls (2007)
David Rodan (2007)
Troy Simmonds (2009)
Jay Schulz (2008)
Will Thursfield (2007)
Shane Tuck (2008)
Matthew White (2007)

Uncontracted:
Andrew Raines
Greg Stafford
Richard Tambling
Danny Meyer
Adam Pattison
Dean Limbach
Greg Tivendale
Dean Polo
Luke McGuane
Darren Gaspar

??
Chris Newman
Ray Hall
Mark Chaffey
Tom Roach
Daniel Jackson
Nathan Foley
Trent Knobel
Will Thursfield


Thanks fellas,

Roach and Jackson are both out of contract at the end of this year. I would imagine Knobel is too. He signed for two years when he came across and hasn't been extended at any point.

What strikes me as interesting is:

  1. Moved to extend White's contract now, rather than wait till next year - I assume hierarchy must believe he will come on in leaps and bounds next year
  2. Tambling has not yet been re-signed for next year - does this mean anything?

Richie signed a 3 year deal, not need to worry.;)

Will Gasper be signed to a new deal?;)
 
Nice and helpful. :eek:

I'm sure this is all friendly information sharing, which I'm all for in most cases.
Giving out what we know about Richmond players contracts to a Collingwood site just doesn't sit right with me though. :confused:

With the signings announced today most of our talent is now locked up. so no chance of any of them being lured into the PSD or poached by other clubs. Apart from 2 or 3 possible exceptions, most of the remaining unsigned players would be the ones with questions being asked about whether they stay or go. On the other hand, we don't have much to trade with either. I suspect there will be a lot of talk about us trading, but little actually done unless we throw a 3rd or 4th round pick for a bargain player somewhere who isn't getting an opportunity, like Bowden last year.

*1 = Meyer was reported as 1 year some places, 2 others.
*2 = Tambling was on a list of kids we have signed, suggested for 2 years.
*3 = Were on one-year deals, may have missed then signing-on again.
r = should have all been one-year deals.
 
Maybe we should get some info on salaries as well. That way they'll have an idea how much needs to be offered to a player to coax him away to go with the info of when he should be coaxed.

Look, I might be going overboard here but the last time we had a list capable of winning a premiership it was decimated by a trade war with Collingwood and the catalyst was the poaching by them of Cloke and Raines.
After 24 years we are finally putting together a good list and Richmond supporters are falling over themselves to give a Collingwood site contract dates when they're asked for.

If we contacted RFC for this information we wouldn't be given it.

With due respect to Nick's fantastic website, when it comes to giving them this information I reckon stuff 'em.

Agreed mate but appears a tad too late now. Sure the info might be available but why make it easy?
 
as if the clubs dont already know. if we can compile a list this easily how easy do you think it is for professional recruiters to know everything about who is contracted for how long?
 
Most clubs know when certain players come out of contract, some even have plans in place knowing full well when these guys are free agents (GM has a very up to date dossier);).

I would be very surprised if some dont even know who is on what and how it gets paid (media contracts etc).

1. All the info is from press release and available on websites. Just google it.
2. Every player has an agent. Even if clubs would like to keep the info quiet any AFL club could ring Ricky Nixon and find out who is out of contract players are.
3. LMAO at clubs finding this info out from a website or being inspired to launch trades by reading a list like this.
