Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
Will be a lot of contract extensions next year I would imagine ..all that money we have extra in the salary cap will be used up . Although I would say Murphy Morris and Boyd will be gone . That's three we don't have to worry about .

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
Those three will be counted as vets so won't alleviate much cap.

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
JJ is the top priority for next year - need him locked away from the clutches of other suitors, of which there will be plenty
-
Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
Daniel and Dunkley are the other must retain players out of contract. After the past week we need to be conscious of losing anyone.

While I agree he is the top priority he is also so close to Stringer he won't be too willing to listen to other offers if we pay him a bit better than fair market value.

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
This is being discussed in the 2017 rolling thread. If any mod wants to sticky it, I'm happy to keep updating it as things update.

I believe the veterans allowance has been abolished for 2017, replaced by an increased salary cap for all clubs.
Veterans rule change put all clubs on a level playing field

Certainly does, half the list is up. Calls to be made by/on Morris, Boyd & Bob. Adams staying or going. A few recent ACL players up again in Smith, Redders, Smith (& Bob). Priority JJ, Picken, Crameri, McLean & extended 2014 & 2015 draftees like Collins, Dunkley, Webb, Dale etc.

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
Devise a brilliant trade strategy.
-
Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
At least it will be easier to clear the three required delisting's next year with it unlikely that Bob, Moz and MBoyd going on to 2018.

Yep. If Rourke & Lynch get upgraded then we can look at 6 out going players to upgrade them and use 1st & 2nd rounders, our upgraded 3rd rounder and our downgraded 5th rounder.

It's likely there will be no rookie list after next season, just an extended primary list, so the rookies will either be included on the primary list or delisted I imagine.

Would this mean each team will have to delist three players still or will they reduce the number for one season ?

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
Anyone want to have a go at prioritising the Class of 2017 re-signings?
I can start you off with:
1. Jason Johanissen
Then the choice is between Crameri, Adams, Dunkley, Picken. Bailey Williams then Lukas Webb then Kieren Collins then Bailey Dale. Murphy, Morris and Boyd.
And still there's more. Redpath and Smith both with significant knee issues would be in the first list otherwise. Hamilton and Honeychutch are decent depth players with good skill but how necessary are they? That leaves Brad Lynch and Josh Prudden. Don't know much about Lynch but Prudden can read the play well and can play senior footy and seems to be in our plans because we kept him around the place. I must have left somebody off? I didn't start out to write an essay, just to nominate JJ as Number One in Importance.
Gee we have a good, healthy list of players, we might have to enter two teams just to make sure everyone gets a game! It's going to be a big year.

That's why we won two premierships last year. :)

He is one player I will be watching closely this year... Was a big improver through the 2nd half of 2016 and has some serious tricks.

It's that stage of our lists development where I tend to lose track of which Bailey and Lynch and Williams is which. They all just sort of Coelesce into one mass and some come out the other end good players and some get lost along the way.

Made the final of the grand final sprint too from memory. Seriously fast kid with those tricks you mention. I hope his trajectory keeps n it's rise.

A lot to like about Lynch, excellent both sides of the body and can kick a long ball. Lindsay Gilbee type for me, hopefully will continue to develop and maybe see some senior action this year.

Yep. Got a problem at either end of the ground? Zaine'll fix it.

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
From what I've heard about Collins recently, my understanding is that the coaches see him as being another year away from senior footy.

Still very young at 19 years old, so I am not surprised. Won't be 20 till the end of the year (14 December)

Yeah, he looks like a grown up but he's just a kid.

I tend to think that is right. He was always going to need a longer term apprenticeship before being ready
-
Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
What are the reasons behind the belief he's a year off being ready. Surely not from a physical perspective?

45 surgeries since his last game wouldn't help either. I like our young talls have some time with Cloke saying he wants to play passed his 2 years and Moz wanting to play next year. Plus Tom Boyd is coming into a green patch hopefully, with Cordy & Roberts too. With 6 or 7 tall kids, we just need to hope 2 or 3 really come on. As per our other posts, a good mature ruck or good mature defender in trade or free agency wouldn't hurt either.

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
Dogs speedster Johannisen puts contract talks on hold
REIGNING Norm Smith medallist Jason Johannisen has put contract talks with the Western Bulldogs on hold until the end of the season.
Johannisen's manager, Tim Galic of SMA Sports Agents, told AFL.com.au on Tuesday there had been no movement in his recent talks with the Bulldogs, with the parties remaining a long way apart over the terms of a new contract.
Given this impasse, Galic said he had told the Bulldogs he wanted to discontinue negotiations until the end of the season.
Johannisen is due to come out of contract at the end of 2017, but will be one year shy of qualifying for free agency.*!
Some club sources believe the West Australian is seeking up to $700,000 a season to re-sign with the Bulldogs.*!
He did not do his cause any harm with a blazing performance against Collingwood in round one, when he finished with 30 possessions and two goals to earn eight votes in the AFLCA award.*!
The 24-year-old has emerged as one of the AFL's most explosive rebounding defenders in recent seasons and would appeal to any club looking to bolster its run off half-back.
AFL.com.au contacted the Bulldogs but did not receive a response.
Johannisen finished sixth in the Bulldogs' best and fairest award in a breakthrough 2015 season, then followed that with a 10th placing last season despite missing nine games with injury.
Johannisen was one of the Bulldogs' stars in their fairytale 2016 finals campaign, averaging almost 25 possessions across the four games.
He shone brightest on the biggest stage, running Sydney ragged in the Grand Final to finish with 33 possessions, nine inside 50s and seven rebound 50s. He polled 10 of a possible 15 votes in the Norm Smith Medal to win by two from Swans midfielder Josh Kennedy.*!
Johannisen joined the Bulldogs at pick No.39 in the NAB AFL Rookie Draft at the end of 2010, and made his debut in round 19, 2012.
He has since played 65 games and kicked 20 goals.
