Nice resigning so far
Negotiations are continuing to extend the contract of James Aish who is contracted till 2015 anyway.
Only Jack Crisp and Matt Maguire remain unsigned for this year. Maguire has been on single year contracts since arriving at Brisbane and Crisp is a required player according to Dean Warren so expect he will re-sign as well.
Awesome stuff Ringo, thanks for that :)
Good to see how many young kids have re-signed already! Expect all 3 of Aish, Crisp, and Goose to re-sign very soon
Crisp should request a trade if he isn't going to get regular games Saints or Melbourne would want him
Goose wanted in the back line or forward line though??
Hopefully he gets another year but dont see he body going further than that
Definitely back line Tabs he is a worse set shot than Sauce.
Moose will get another year contract as well.
Who is Moose?? Do you mean Goose?
Surely his leg issues only see Goose get one more year and thats it??
Of Course Goose - Both Sauce and Goose are going under the knife in off season. Of course Goose is a year to year proposition though.

A little surprised we did not recall Moose. Had a solid game in 2's last week but maybe needs a little more time in 2's
You mean Goose?
Perhaps Goose would have had to play on Moose this week? (IDK who Moose is)

Good luck to Goose on spoiling him though!
Old habits die hard went to school with a kid called Michael Maguire and he had the nickname of Moose. Just an explanation for you.
The benefits of a mod - ;) Think both McGuane and Paine signed 2 year deals when traded so they would be signed till 2015.
Like your work Meow well done.
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-09-23/goose-to-go-on
Goose has now signed a further one year contract only leaving Jack Crisp to sign. Negotiations ongoing with him.
Good news :)

Aish? I flowering hope so! ;D
Or Crisp. One of the 2. Probably Crisp now that I think about it.
Hope its Aish mate. Was listening to his manager the other day and he wasn't too convincing about his long term future at Brissie. Don't think there was much in it, but it just came across weird
Hope for your sake it's Aish. Kid is a gun ;)
It's McStay.
http://www.lions.com.au/news/2014-10-08/here-to-mcstay
Yes McStay signs till 2017 so only Aish and Cutler left from last years draftees to extend contract.
Crisp the only Lion still unsigned
Can't wait until Aish is playing for us in 2016 :P
Aish will be signed and sealed by Brisbane after the pre-season.

He will want to be part of the 2016 and 2017 premiership teams so will sign with again with Brisbane.
Brisbane wont be winning any flags anytime soon.

Another of last years draftees Tom Cutler has extended his contract to 2017 only leaving James Aish to re-sign
Will keep the OP up to date as well so we know when contracts are expiring. Have not been able to find anything on the length of contract we offered Christo had a feeling it was 3 years but unable to confirm anywhere,

Forgot he was a Norwood player :-\ Have any Norwood players ever played for PAFC? Surely money is more important than minor league rivalry (the SANFL is insignificant compared to the AFL)
He's not just any Norwood boy ;)
Jonas is the only Power player from Norwood and he was rookie drafted (obviously not in high demand at the time of his selection - not like the potential demand for Aish). I didn't think the rivalry was that serious :o

Personally I reckon he will re-sign with us sooner rather than later due to the friendships formed with the 7 draftees taken in last year.
To be fair Brisbane has effectively done 2 years drafting with last years draft picks all working out OK and this years draft.
This will look good in any team Aish, Taylor, Gardiner, McStay, Freeman, Cutler, Nick Robertson who have all games during the season and then adding Beams, Christensen and Robinson is a pretty sound return imo.
Hopefully another Rockliff or Black will slip to 67 our first live pick.
Yeh im just wishful thinking out aloud mate. ;)
Yeah I agree, I'd say I'm 99% certain Aish will stay. Normally it is obvious when a player wants to leave (or there is an evident lack of opportunities). Aish doesn't look upset and he plays just about every game. No reason to leave, but the contract delays raise suspicion. But that's probably because it'll take a little longer to negotiate the contract value (he deserves higher pay than the other rookies - also he needs to be paid more or he will suspect that he's being overlooked due to the Beams, Christensen & Robinson inclusion). He'll resign soon, when Brisbane offer him the right price.
If I had to bet, I'd confidently bet that he'll extend his contract. Too much trouble to move if a player doesn't have a good reason
Aish will never be a second Polec.
'Why?' You ask
Because Aish is a good player ;)
Lol nrich I think your Qld heart blinds you a little bit ;)
I think Yeo is a good player. I think Docherty is a good player. I think Longer has a shower load of potential ;)

Don't really know how exactly he is overrated hahaha
I think he is regarded as he should be hahaha (didn't even make Port's top 10 in the B&F - if he was overrated he would have)
He's higher regarded (and so far better) than Yeo, Docherty & Longer and was the highest profile transfer out of the homesick 5. So of course he would get more attention. I think at the most people just regard him as a prospect who has proven his legitimacy so far :)
Nrich is just butthurt by players who leave the Lions as usual. :P

No objection from me to that statement. Polec is starting to realise the potential he has and will be interesting to monitor his performance next season. Polec was not given a fair go by Voss and I really blame him for some of the go home boys.

Who says that? IMO Docherty and Yeo are better, and Longer, being a ruckman, still hasn't full developed, but will be a better player in the future.

No objection from me to that statement. Polec is starting to realise the potential he has and will be interesting to monitor his performance next season. Polec was not given a fair go by Voss and I really blame him for some of the go home boys.
But then again Voss did have the foresight to draft him. Yeah I agree about the limited opportunities he gave them, I think it's because he was coaching a team where a significant amount of players were his friends and former teammates (there's going to be a conflict of interest in those situations). He was a great coach, just didn't seem popular among board members. To be fair, Brisbane had a good list as well back then (despite what the ladder may project) - they always have a strong list, even this season where they were projected to finish last (along with the Saints) we see that these players which many people overlooked (surely everyone thought Rocky/Hanley/Redden/Zorko were fantasy guns and good players but nobody could predict the exact extent of the impact they had this season) - Martin is probably the best example of this, Luey has always been highly rated and West is a premiership ruck man, when those two weren't available we thought it was done yet Leppa created an equally, if not more, effective option through Martin. Leppa has had a fantastic year, again, despite the ladder position, there list is strong and is building up more talent. They have a great core team (will be one of the best in a few years). The problem is the players surrounding the core of the team aren't at the same level (for many it's just lack of experience and will not be a problem in the long-run) as the rest of the comp. The Crows have the same problem but I'd say Brisbane are better off, esp. because Leppa has seen this, and done the most logical thing a coach can do in this situation... Build the list. Christensen & Robinson will most likely be additions, Dayne will be part of the core. A very bright future ahead of the club - Again, I thought Leppa didn't have what it takes but he's been doing a fantastic job, very good coaching and he knows what the priorities should be.
Disagree slightly power - Voss was not the best coach very similar to Buckley great players but have found the transition to coach difficult. Voss did have his favourites (Why Polkinghorne kept getting games is beyond me) but he did not have the ability to react quickly to game day situations. Think Voss would have been a much better coach if he had follwed through on the Eagles assistant coach role and came back to coach after 2/3 years. Believe his new role at Power will further develop him.

Yeah very good point - compare Voss, Buckley, & Hird to seasoned coaches there is a huge discrepancy. Leppa has cleaned up a lot of the auxiliary players that were not at AFL standard (e.g. Polky, Raines, Michael etc.), he has the right mindset and I think if Brown & McGrath had not retired this season he would have done the difficult task of delisting them next season. Although Brown was a legend of the game, Leppa would be capable of making the difficult calls. Voss couldn't - to emotionally attached, Leppa has the right mindset.

Claye Beams and Johnathan Freeman have both extended their contracts to the end 0f 2017.
Great to see these youngsters although Beams is 23 committing. The start of those whose contracts expire this year.
OP is updated and i will keep updated as contracts are extended.
Aish is the big one this year and we wait his decision. Berger and Adcock are Free agents but can see them re-signing with the club. .
YES.
Collingwood, Carlton and Melbourne are the three clubs that have shown the most interest in securing Brisbane's James Aish according to the Herald Sun.
The No. 7 selection from the 2013 national draft has given no indication he wants to stay at the Lions, rebuffing contract talks with the Lions.
Aish is a client of Liam Pickering, So anything could happen.

He's going, he isn't even getting good opportunities anymore in a side that is losing - and has a lot of its midfielders injured. If those two events are occurring and you're playing a tentative player in the NEAFL, he will leave. Didn't look like he was enjoying round 1 either. Personally, I think the Crows should be making the play for him because he most likely wants to return to his home state and not Victoria. Richmond & Essendon should make plays for him as well as he could play a big part in elevating either of those teams to a top 4 level. My bet would be 5% he stays as of now - still only two rounds through the season and that could change, but if I were Leppa I'd be managing him differently.
If he really wants to leave, it's for the best though. If that were the case and Brisbane somehow convinced him to resign, what would be the point..

He was shower in round 1, got dropped, did well in NEAFL, came back into 22. So that isn't really a valid comment.
If he does want to leave though, and is happy to go to Melbourne, then there's now way we'd be letting him go cheaply. First rounder + extra, depending on the club getting him
Was dropped on form as GL says and now reinstated.
The one thing to remember is Pickering is his manager and we all know he chases the dollars for his players so not confident of retaining him but trusting Aish does the right thing by the club that invested so much into him. He is wanted by the club in that the club started negotitaions in September last year to try and tie up all the previous years draftees. Aish is the only one not signed. Hopefully also his strong friendship with Sam Mayes has someinfluence as well.
If he goes as GL says we would be wanting fair compensation for him. Either a first round pick plus or a tall marking forward. Unlike the previous go home boys situation we are in a better bargaining position.
Aish for Vickery! >:D
I dont see Aish staying
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-04-20/lions-pessimistic-on-aish
Good on them, there was no chance that he was staying (it's just the risk with drafting interstate), esp. with Beams, Christo, & Robbo all coming in. The sooner the rest of the Lions coaching staff become aware of this, the sooner they can focus on matters of importance. Brisbane fans seem to think Aish's resigning as a matter of pride... You recruited Collingwood's 2nd best player, there is no pride lost if a rookie departs, certainly considering that in two years prior there were 5 players comparable to Aish departing & no-one of value coming in.
Good on Swann for stating the obvious and cutting through the shower. There is no real reason for Aish to stay, if he wants to resign, then it's at his discretion. If not, Brisbane won't even notice because they will be more focused on pressing issues (like the game against WCE this weekend)
What do you think will happen to our expiring contracted players.
James Aish returning from injury - Suspect he will ask to be traded.
Jed Adcock - Should re-sign
Rohan Bewick - A required player who should re-sign but a trade request would not surprise,
Mitch Golby - Given that he is unable to cement a place in the 22 he may also request a trade.
Ryan Harwood - Would be a required player and suspect he will re-sign but like Bewick a trade request would not surprise.
Berger - Probably playing for his career in the second half of the season and if does not come up may be trade bait. Trent West returning may also put pressure on
Matt Maguire - has retired
Brent Staker - Has been effected by injury over the last three seasons. A difficult one here as we know what he can do.
Paine and McGuane have both been injured. Paine is promising and may get a contract renewal but would be reluctant with McGuane.

My bet is the Lions will get a good deal for Aish.
Adcock is like Sandi, Pav etc. he is either retiring or staying (still too young to retire)
Bewick should stay, if he were to request a trade it would be back to WA (good luck getting a game in either of those teams - career suicide). Golby will probably be in the same position as Bewick (could trade them with Carlton to get a bargain gun).
Berger will stay if he gets the chance - least of Brisbane's concerns now that Martin is replicating last seasons form (there were doubts but I think he's proven he is a genuine first class ruck)
I think Staker will do the right thing by the club and retire (his injuries are becoming a financial burden and at 31 he doesn't have much to offer)
Paine should stay.
McGuane is a spud hahahaha Leppa needs to cut him and state that it is not personal (apparently the two are very close).
Taking most of these players out of the equation, I think Brisbane has a really strong list (would probably steal a few games against the Victorian clubs if they weren't disadvantaged by constant travel - like 7 other teams in the AFL (starting to think that was a reason for the expansion clubs - 2 weeks less travel for all interstate sides)

Great to see the club working to keep promising youngsters with Harris Andrews extending his contract till 2018. Ryan Harwood has also re-signed till 2017. Hope he has a better year next year.

What do peoples think of a possible straight trade being mooted Aish to Carlton for Qlder Tom Bell? Personally would prefer a bigger target up forward such as Tippett or similar. Bell is only 187cm so not the tallest.
Leppa said Redden has no intention to leave so I would personally take his word for it because he said the same thing about Stefan Martin - when the rumours were all that he was guaranteed to go
I would bet on him staying - has more than a leadership role to lose if he moved clubs
People actually listen to what Damian Barrett says? ???
I guess I'd take Bell, but he's not really what we need. Looks like we won't be getting Dixon :(

Okay Leppa, like every other coach, has lost credibility with me when saying "this player will stay" :P
It seems every coach says it, but only 10% of the time the player actually stays
Personally, I think Brisbane are better off this way and they at least get something in return if they trade this 'gloryhunter' (I don't see any other reason why WCE would be his preferred destination than glory hunting)
Apparently we said we aren't overly keen :P
Poor Redden haha
Cannot believe it but it is looking more likely by the day that Aish will be staying. I thought he would definitely leaving since midway through last season. The problem is that he wants to go to Collingwood, however there are no guarantees as they are prioritising with Treloar.
I think Richmond now look the greatest threat. However, they are prioritising with Yarran & Bennell.
Starting to look like he'll have to stay - if he extends his contract by more than 2 seasons, I don't see him ever leaving the Lions - they should offer him 3-5 years
I heard he hasn't asked to leave yet cause he wants to go to a team still in the finals. Still, I'm hopeful that he will stay.

North Melbourne or Hawthorn?
He wont get games in either side... Better chance in North than Hawthorn though but I don't think North will want him until Harvey & NDS retire
Rumours maybe Hawks but his current attitude does not lend credence to someone who is going
I would say Aish is over 95% likely to stay.
The likely loss of Redden has obviously made the Lion's board realise they don't have time for this kid (is still yet to make a decision) and he's becoming an inconvenience.
The reported ultimatum is resign or go back to the draft (it's tough because it looks like no Victorian teams are interested in the kid) and the Hawks have stated they won't be major players in this year's trading period.
It would be prudent for him to resign at this point - doesn't want to end up like Henderson

Great to see the club starting to dictate terms especially after the go home 5,
Have updated OP with contracts expiry for most on list including new contracts signed. Have not heard anything about the draftees in italics but suspect all will renew. Also nothing about Bewick either. If someone has infor on any of theses let me know.

Agree must have sorted out issues with his partner to sign for 3 years great news and waiting for 12:30
Good things come in threes! More to come at 12:30pm #staytuned
and No 2
Pearce Hanley has extended his contract to 2019
and no 3
Mitch Robinson has extended contract to 2018.
This is all great news for the Lions
I just cannot help but think that Daniel Rich will be the big one this season (not too many teams will be after him, but I could see Fremantle aggressively making a play for him).
However, I think Rich will remain a Lion beyond 2016 and would not be surprised if he re-signed in the near future
Lions have promised more re-signings before Christmas so we wait and see. The Big ones being Rich, Zorko, Mayes, Paparone, Taylor and Green.
I actually don't think we need all of: Chrsitensen, Zorko, Taylor and Green.
Anyone else agree?

Yes and no. I don't think having them all is a necessity, but I'd much rather have them than not have them. I think we want them all for different reasons. Bundy has more experience than most others in the team, I think Zorkos in the leadership group, Greens been up the top of the goal kicking at the club for the past couple of seasons, although that probably says more about the team than Green :P, and Squizzy will be one of the best in the competition in the next couple of years.
I'd much rather have them all than not.
Remember though when Carlton were at their peak they had a fleet of smalls as well. Our problem is that thgere has been no real tall forward bringing the ball to ground for them to work their magic. Taylor looks good going down the wing. Green will always have the speed and an accurate kick (although he can have an off day). Zorko and Christensen both provide relief through the mids as well.
Interesting idea though brodman and I am glad I am not on the selection committee having to decide on team balance. Think a lot of selections this year may come down to the opposition.
Can honestly see us making a bruuuuutal play for Rich this time next season.

Think he has lost a little bit of that power and distance since his leg injury 2 seasons ago. A couple of times this year have seen him kicking for goals beyond the 50 arc and failing to make distance.
Club getting busy with re-signings - Youngster Jaden McGartah has signed for 2 years. After a sound debut in Round 1 he succumbed to a foot injury keeping him out for the season. Hoping for better luck this year,
http://www.lions.com.au/news/2015-12-16/mcgrath-resigns
Yessss :D
http://www.lions.com.au/news/2015-12-18/clayton-resigns
Another Youngster has extended his contract - Josh Clayton now re-signed till end of 2017.
Still quite a few to sign as per OP but great to see the re-signings already.
Marco Paparone may be the next to be resigned. may be announced this week, Reportedly signed for another 2 years,
I rate Pepperoni, quality player
http://www.lions.com.au/news/2016-01-30/paparone-resigns
Confirmation Paparone has resigned for 2 years. Retention is the clubs main focus now following the exodus in recent years.
http://www.lions.com.au/news/2016-03-03/lion-for-life
and this one not unsurprisingly only maybe the length of contract being 4 years. Zorko a Lion for life.
This will give you an indication of our youth at the moment as well
"Zorko, who dominated the local Queensland competition playing for Broadbeach in the QAFL before being picked up in the 2011 National Draft, is now the fifth-oldest player on the Lions’ young list (behind Daniel Merrett, Martin, Trent West and Hanley)."
So Zorko at 27 is the 5th oldest on the list.
Rich is the one I would like to see settled early being an unrestricted free agent. Quite few stilll on the 2016 yet to sign as well so hope to see a few more in the near future,
I guess this can go here? Contract extension for Leppa: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-03-07/lions-coach-justin-leppitsch-inks-contract-exension
Personally I think Leppa has done alright so far, there was nothing he could do last year when we got absolutely massacred by injuries, but will need some improvement over the next 2 years now, particularly reducing those late quarter fade outs.
Think we needed to extend Leppas contract to give certainty going forward and with the number coming off contract this year as well. The number of changes to the coaching staff as well needed the stability as well.
You have hit the nail on the head with the improvement in fade outs in red zones of each quarter. So basically 2017 will be Leppas make or break year.
Rumour has it that Rich will be re-signed in the near future as well.
Great news at the state of season
http://www.lions.com.au/news/2016-03-23/rich-resigns
Daniel Rich has signed till the end of 2021 - No returning to WA.
YEAHHHHH
Booo. E. McGuire - fail

It's really good to see him repay the club that showed him so much faith - a big win for the club (esp. considering the fact that many clubs would have been targeting him)

Bewick and Lester have re-signed till end of 2018 so they keep coming and brings to 17 the number of players that have re-signed since end of last season.
Encouraging considering our on field performance. Taylor and Green the ones who I suspect may walk though.

Word is he will re-sign formally in the next week.
Reckon he's put some better games together over the past month. Personally hope he stays with the Lions
One question...
Why does Leppa keep playing Mayes down back when his preferred position is as a wingman/half-forward
It worked for Paparone
However, for a top 10 draft pick like Mayes, it's the sort of decision that would make him want to seek opportunities else where.
It's coming to a point where I think whether he will leave or stay depends on whether or not Leppa plays him in his preferred position
Surely if it's frustrating me, it must be 100x more frustrating for Lions' fans...
Injuries in our defence may have forced the issue and must admit he has been playing well in the last 3 weeks. Paparone is returning in the NEAFL this week so will be interesting to see what Leppa does when he is recalled.
Lester also close to return which will also restrict H/f option for him. Despite our position on ladder we have so many of theses 22 - 25 yo old players vying for positions. My one gripe with Leppa is he still does not want to drop Senior players. IMO Rich could do with a stint in the NEAFL to shake him up a bit. Would create opportunities for other players. With both Gardiner and Andrews back he should also take the opportunity to drop Merrett, My opinion though,
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-06-23/mayes-off-the-market-as-he-resigns-with-lions
Sam Mayes has re-signed till end of 2019 joining a growing number of re-signings.
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/teams/brisbane/lewis-taylor-has-resigned-with-brisbane-lions-after-tense-yearlong-negotiations/news-story/c008f5da01063192299af54c97e09e75
Lewis Taylor has re-signed for 3 years ending speculation. Contract for 3 years believed to be $1.2m.
Josh Green probably the only one now that will walk out. A few others may not be re-signed
Geez 400k a year.....
So we await Gardiner and Green. Believe Gardiner is close but Green will walk. Cian Hanley still unsigned bur suspect will be and may stay on International Rookie list. May change though if his brother Pearce is traded.

I gotta admit, that surprised me. I had him pegged to leave.

That came outta nowhere!
Not really Toga he said he would let Lions know over their bye period. Thought he may have gone though but great that he is staying. perhaps now he can get working on a partnership with Hipwood to become the next super goal kicking duo.
Press release concerning the re-signing
http://www.lions.com.au/news/2017-06-08/thursday-lions-news
All signs pointed to him leaving Ringo, there wasn't a lot of word in the media that he might recommit. Good result for the Lions, would've been back to square one to lose yet another highly rated youngster.
Stunned that he signed, not sure how to feel about it really, reckon we woulda got something good for him.
Ben Keays is the next one I would like to see signed. Think bit harsh he was dropped this week.
Rocky of course coming off as well but all indications are that he will stay.

Would have depended on contract offered as well but could not see any thing other than a mid first rounder at best. Now to start working on that partnership with Hipwood to become the next Brown/Bradshaw.
glad he signed but unfortunately in todays climate a contract doesnt mean much if a player wants to go
Harris Andrews - End of 2021
Ben Keays and Sam Skinner - End of 2019
Yissssss
You Beauty beat me to it G. Future looking good. Just need Rocky to sign.
Also the way he has improved this year need Nick Robertson as well.

Yet another youngster has re-signed with the club for 2 years. Future looking bright Dan McStay extending to 2019.
http://www.lions.com.au/news/2017-08-11/robertson-resigns
Yet another re-signing. Future looking good.
Some sites showing we only signed McInerney for 12 months. So hopefully we re-sign him quickly as I think he is an outstanding prospect.
Here is the list according to my research of unsigned players:
Claye Beams
Jarrad Jansen
Josh Clayton
Jonathan Freeman
Matthew Hammelman
Michael Close
Ryan Harwood
Tom Rockliff
Rockliff and Close really the only 2 I really want to see re-signed.
Robbo!

Jake Barrett
Claye Beams
Tom Bell
Rohan Bewick
Charlie Cameron
Liam Dawson
Matt Eagles
Mitchell Hinge
Luke Hodge
Ryan Lester
Marco Paparone
Mitch Robinson
Joshua Walker
Who on the list are still priorities ?- Would say Robbo and Charlie deserve extensions, Hodge if he feels his body still has it for another year guiding down back.
Of the others maybe Eagles, Paparone, Lester (because coach loves him but do not know why) and Dawson (who has not had a good run due to injury) could get an extension.
Would delist the rest thoughts?

Not a resigning but at least he'll be there next year. I like the commentary from the club around this too, "We're hoping by the time his contract ends he'll want to stay a few more years and be a part of our comeback" or to similar effect.

Little late with this one but Berry Brothers have re-signed Jarrod to 2024 and Tom till 2022
Great News with Anserth extending contract.

Great to see we are also retaining depth with these contract extensions. Ballandeen, Joyce and Madden all yet to play senior football have been extended to 2021.

Continuing to lock up youngsters with Withers extending contract to 2022. Been rumoured for a couple of weeks but now confirmed.

Still quite a few on the 2019 expiry list but surely Robbo and Charlie should be given 2 years at least.
A few on list would be expected not to be renewed though and Hodgey will be the dilemma whether to go round again but suspect decision will be up to him.
Brisbane have re-signed Jack Payne and Mitch Robinson to 2021. Really wanted a longer contract for Robbo so happy.
jack Payne has had an injury ravished couple of seasons but is starting to show some form in NEAFL.
Robboooooooo <3
Yet another re-signing and great to see with Dan McStay staying for another 3 years 2022.
Still a number to be re-signed as per OP. But who is priority on the list - Hodge should be able to decide whether to continue or not, Stef should be given another year and Bundy possibly as well. Cutler, Skinner, Hinge and Lyons possibly worth an extension. Also we need to delist at 3 from our list as well. hate to be deciding on that one as well.
and the re-signings continue with Stef Martin extending for 12 months to end of next season

Sounds like he'll see out his career with the Lions. Great to hear.
ERic Hipwood extended to 2023

So Taylor and Cutler traded, Basti, Keays, Nick Robbo and Walker delisted. Not going to lie, a bit sad they're all leaving. Most those boys stayed through the tough times but aren't up to the top level now.
Would think Basti, Keays, Robbo and Walker could all find a home down the road at Gold Cost.

Heard Robbo been linked to GWS. Keays I agree as well could end up at the Suns. Bastinac and Walker I'm not sure, Walker probably good enough to get picked up elsewhere, Bastinac less likely.
Hinge and Lester have been offered one year contracts,

Hinge and Lester have been offered one year contracts,
Rate Hinge, thought he looked good in his two games. Was a bit surprised he never came back into the side this year, but I suppose we didn't have any injuries and no-one he could've really taken the spot of. Good to see the club show some faith in him.
Lester solid for experienced depth, but nothing major.
So we still have Bundy, SKinner and Corey Lyons to be offered contracts.
Suspect we may give Bundy one given we missed out on Elliott and let Taylor go. Skinner and Lyons may go on rookie list with the promotion of Big O and Hinge who I agree has looked good and worth the shot.
That leaves a possible 2 vacancies on draft one of which may have to be used on Coleman if bids come in National Draft.

I reckon all 3 probably have to go on the rookie list.
We've got 16, 21, 34, 48 + late picks.
Assuming we use 48+ for Coleman, that means 4 picks we're likely to take. Even if we rookie all 3 of those guys, that only leaves 3 vacancies, which tells me that they're likely going to try and pick swap. If we keep Bundy on the senior list and can only take 2 picks in the draft it'll be very interesting to see how they work it.
Bundy has re-signed a 1 year extension to end of 2020.
Only leaves Skinner and Corey Lyons in limbo at the moment.
And we have another youngster committing to the club with Ely Smith signing till 2022.
Now Starevich and Bailey sign til 2024. Most of youngsters now locked away.
