Who hasn't signed yet?

[Streaker]

Saw on the news last night that there were still 6 Dockers and 10 Eagles who haven't re-signed yet.

I only got a quick glimpse of the Eagles list and the first 3 names were

Matera
Sampi
Wirrpunda

Did anyone see the whole list?

Why hasn't Wirrpunda signed?

Thats what I want to know. Something tells me that there is more to this than meets the eye. MDB, have you heard anything?

There's no hurry just yet, lets see what cards are layed out on the trading table first.
Plenty of options still available before we need to worry about them putting pen to paper.

I know for a fact that Wirra is building a new house at the moment. Not that it in itself means that he wouldn't move, but at least it indicates he's thinking of hanging around for a little while.

I'm pretty sure All the 2001 draftees are out of contract. Judd has been re-signed which means Sampi, Seaby and Hansen would also be out of contract. I know Haynes is also out of contract. Thats all I can think of at the moment...

Only one Im really worried about is Wirrpunda. You would expect Haynes, Matera, Sampi, Green etc to re-sign.

 

[GoEagles]

Wirrpunda is the biggie. Can't see Sampi or Fido moving over east.

Haynes was put on a 1 year contract last year and will be uncontracted from the 30th September - although he had a great first half of the season I wouldn't be suprised if the club considers him as trade bait if the right deal can be stitched up.

It was rumoured that we would swap Haynes for Cameron Mooney.

Mooney? Pfft, If we recruit Mooney, I will... start barracking for the Dockers

 

[The Passenger]

I remember mid way through the year, someone from the Eagles said we had a very low number of players coming out of contract at the end of this year - 11 or 12 it was, so I doubt we still have 10 guys yet to sign...........unless we've only signed Judd and Cuz??

 

[Frodo]

Trade Fido.

I never thought od it as a possibility but top small forwards do tend to get traded eg Ronnie Burns, Jeff Farmer.
And there may be a trend to play without specialist small forwards eg Brisbane, Bombers

Just a thought

If we swapped Haynes I'd rather it be for a draft pick.


As for Fido, don't think we'd ever trade him. The Matera name is part of our club, and he's been just to damn good for us over the years.

Contract shmontract. They don't necesarily mean that a player can't be traded - as you are implying.

What do these two words mean to you when talking about contracted players: Trent Croad...

So would you trade Kerr for Lloyd and Hird?

Every player is tradeable if the right deal is offered.

2 Down 7 to go.


"The West Coast Eagles have re-signed young defender Darren Glass and unheralded half-forward Rowan Jones."

"The Eagles still have a host of players out of contract, including Phil Matera, Jeremy Humm, David Wirrpunda, Ashley Sampi, Adam Hunter, David Haynes, Kane Munro and Callum Chambers."

Club chief executive Trevor Nisbett was confident all would be re-signed before the club champion awards early next month.

 

[Sera]

It would be interesting to know how much these two are on...

And you have the nerve to have a go at me for suggesting Fletcher as a possible trade?

Mid-fielders like Fletcher are dime-a-dozen. Small forwards who can kick 50+ goals a season aren't.

Once again you prove that you are a fool.

On 10 tonight, Gossage was suggesting that Wirrpunda was offered a contract that was a lot less than he was asking for. For the clubs sake I hope we don't lose him.
