News Two more Magpies re-sign for two years.

Reid and Fasolo.

Nice work.

Very happy with those two signings. I honestly though Reid's form a little back was similar to Cloke's situation where I thought he was gone.

Happy to hear he and Fasolatha are hanging around.

Great news for the club.

So who is left other than he-who-shall-not-be-named? Wellers? Harry O?

Has Jolly got a contract for next year?

 

[dogbert]

Wellingham, Harry, Krakouer, Macaffer, Goldsack. Don't think I've left anyone out?

Jolly has another year to run on his contract.

 

[SpongePie]

Reid signed? Oooooooooooooooooooooo YEAH!

That is great news about both of these boys signing but what is even better is that the digit has been telling us all season that Reid would be leaving to join his brother,I wonder if he will come on here and admit he was wrong I suspect not but F--- him anyway,good on you Ben and Fas well done boys.

 

[well left]

Very good news on both Reid and Fas.

The other posters are correct. We would have put aside what we have offered Cloke for 4 years, knowing that if we do relent and go with 5 years then that price will be lower than the 4 year price.

It may come down in the end to the other guys out of contract. Say if we have $250K a year budgeted for Wellingham but he asks for $300K, then that might affect our decision making on giving Cloke the extra year if we are 50/50 on it at the moment.

As much as I rate O'Brien, Wellingham and Goldsack and would like them to stay on, if one of them is the casualty of our salary cap and recent success than for me it is a better result than losing one of Thomas, Pendlebury, Reid and Beams.

cast your minds back 4-6 months, and the contract issues we were going to face this year were surfacing.

many discussions were had over who was the most important, impossible to replace type player at collingwood. was it pendlebury, was it cloke, or was it reid. many, including myself, said reid.

ben was always the one we just had to get done, simply because tall, mobile, highly skilled CENTRE HALF BACKS are probably the most prized players in the game. pendlebury is obviously important, but with our mid depth, and the way draftees are being trained, other mids can be sought. as for trav, well with the modern game revolving around multiple goalscorers, he was not as vital as many had thought.

this signing needs the recognition it deserves.

I'd like the list of current out of contract players also!
