wow that is comprehensive, as an avid WC fan since day 1, thanks for the input

 

[WCE777]

Comprehensive list overhaul in 2024, I think there is another year where 6+ delisting's/not offered contracts to go?
Who is on the shortlist not to get a contract beyond 2025? My list:
C Jamieson
J Cripps
D Sheed
T Brockman(if doesn't improve on and off field)
L Rawlinson
J Petruccelle(trade NM keen)
M Flynn(if doesn't improve injuries)

 

[silver1951]

I have to laugh at some of the blind supporters saying we’ll make the 8 in 2025. I’ve even seen a couple talking top 4 and 1 fella making the GF. I think muzza makes an excellent point, we’ll have probably another 6 to go in 2026. I would think that 27/28 we could have a tilt at the top 8. Till then, there’s still some heartache ahead.

ROLL ON FOOTY SEASON….I miss you!!!!!!

 

[Bill Birmingham]

I thought Rotham showed great promise initially, and would progress within a few years - sorry to see him go and I have wondered if injury cruelled him to the extent he lost confidence and couldn't reach his potential.
Same for Jamaine Jones - a versitile player, perhaps too much so and therefore had insufficient opportunity to cement a game-to-game role.
Then there's Jack Petrucelli - sometimes I have thought he could be a run-down-the-small-forwards back pocket specialist. Or even a burst forward player on the ball - get the ball and rampage forward by any means, just like Yeo does. Probably too late for all that now.

If Flynn stays fit, and Barnett makes progress then Bailey may well be on the chopping block. Doesn't seem to have the footy nous to go with his athleticism. Trade bait I reckon. Still cant believe we didn't grab Dodson in the draft or Knobel in the rookie draft..

Be interesting where BW ends up, good second ruck but Flynn has 1 more year.
You might be right, I would be happy to keep him as a second ruck, we need a ready made ruck this year or next.

 

[CursoryMercenary]

I wouldn't be offering Allen a 3 year deal on mega bucks, 2 deal maximum on slightly improved terms yes. If we wants to walk I'm fine with that we should get good compo for him.

In a years time I'm sure the Pricktorian media will be all over the fact that Harley will be out of contract at the seasons end. Seriously it's going to have to a be a God almighty offer if we are to let him move on.

Official confirmation that McGovern has signed on for 2026

 

[Keys]

Sandy Brock joining on a one year rookie contract as a SSP signing filling the last official spot on our list

Another spot will open up if/when we place Sheed on the inactive list following his ACL injury

Do the Eagles have to keep Harley till 2026 end? It’s a given he’ll go back to the vico swamp, so imagine what we could get if they traded him out at the end of this year. Still, he’s contracted till the end of 2026, so i suppose Eagles are committed till then as well. Just a thought though.
