You can update it now to say Morten has signed...
Also i would love to see us make a play for Castelen from Wanderers.
I know its a risk with his injuries but he is just such an exciting player and he is off contract. Him and Morten running at defenders and hopefully a new striker who can score a goal, we would finally be exciting to watch!
Didn't Miller say earlier this year that the club plans to have less players coming off contract each year. That they would look at staggering contracts so they could focus on retaining the 3/4 coming off contract each year? By looking at that including Nordstrand there's 10 coming off contract at the end of 16/17 season... #Jets
There's nothing stopping the Club re-signing any of those 10 from now and until there contracts run out.Quote:

Miller has also said he didn't like re-signing players to contracts longer than he'd be at the club to leave a bad legacy for the manager who would replace him.Quote:

Just be proactive and sign the blokes you need ASAP
Not saying what is and isn't right. Just stating what Miller said.Quote:

Big plus about this signing is that Miller now has a striker signed and sealed early that we can build our recruitment around. Don't have to be waiting until 2 weeks before the comp starts for the central striker to arrive and hoping that the combination also works
Another ST and 2 wide players and we are just about set, could get by with Cowbie at LB again.Quote:

We were hamstrung by this and had limited ability to attack down the left hand side through the fullback. Great player with a future at the club, but we need to do better than simply "get by" next year.Quote:

Dylan murnane from victory worth a shout too imoQuote:

i still think he deserves another year.
actually I think you may find its the other way round these days. admittingly zullo's out for the year but garrucio took the spot off him a while backQuote:

is there a list of a league players coming off contract somewhere
Connor Pain from Tards
That guy is terrible! GVE dream, just a good athlete, terrible touch though!Quote:

He's got tiny little short carnie arms.Quote:

Boogs and Wilkinson, two ex-gyppos at the back?? no wonder Birraz wants to leave... FFS keep Mullen! TBH though, I think Mullen is underrated, the times he had to come back to cover because others weren't where they were supposed to be, and the cards that should have been the other way round can't be held against him, he's a clean tackler and worked well all year, and when Boogs isn't suspended the pair of them work pretty well together

Personally i reckon we will have a crack at signing either Clut or Borrello. I'd prefer Borrello, but i think we will try to get one of them with Oar playing their now.
We need to find players who can't get first team football at their current clubs but deserve to, or players being replaced next year. I don't think we have enough to offer to pinch any top level talent from other teams in this league.
Exactly why I suggested PainQuote:

His career has also stalled as Victree are a successful side and the signing of Kalfallah has left him out
He would get a start everywhere else in the HAL
Yep, i'm with you on that one. Add to the fact JP would know him as well.Quote:

People's thought on Shannon Cole as a left back option? Bloke can take a free-kick as well.
Borrello and Cole have re-signed. Id take Pain as well. Not a bad player for not much money. Way better than someone like Hoole/Naumoff.Quote:

Could see us signing both and can't see why we wouldn't
The problem I have with Pain is that he reminds me so much of Virgilli. Very fast but zero end product. Unless we can move on Brennan/Pav it would be a no for me.Quote:

As i said yesterday, would love Castelen.
Also wouldnt mind Clut as a lot seem to rate him and its a real possibility.
Nick Ansell i reckon has big potential as does Donachie.
Stefan Mauk is at Adelaide now, is he signed longer than this year? I would assume so.
Even Pablo Sanchez, seems to always be on Adelaides bench but has a pretty bloody good scoring record!
Who ever said Pain is like Virgilli is bang on for me.... couldn't have put it better myself!
No doubt we will end up with Marc Warren and Leigh Broxham!
Thank ****. I was getting worried some pork chops would come up with supporter group 'The cole mine' or something of that ilk :brrr:
Sign Ryall at the same and call them the "Cole Minors"??Quote:

Borrello is being pushed out by Oar and is more finished article than Clut so i'd rather sign him. Cole would be a decent option at LB, Cowburn then becomes backup for both fullbacks and fresh legs in the midfield.
Ansell resigned.Quote:

Pretty sure borello signed a extensionQuote:
