Lovely jubbly, ticking off those out of contract stars nice and early. Grimes, Balta, Bakes and now Vlastuin. Now for Shai, George and Kmac, then the kids and the older guys.
 
Still a few to go & there would be a couple of nervous ones - (Doesn't include rookies)

Reckon it will be the final year for Houli, Naish and Garthwaite. Maybe Chol also depending on how he goes.

assuming the old fellas - Sheds, JR and Dave are going nowhere and Bachar is done.

and with the important proviso I hope all these blokes re-sign,

$hai is the only untouchable on that list.

I fully expect the media to be anonymously tipped off by Ralph Carr about $hai shopping for houses in Fremantle in about August
 
5 years will take him to 31-32. Think he’s probably sacrificed some dollars for greater length. Great to have him recommit.

Be interesting to see how the 2019 draft class is judged. Sometimes after the initial 2 year contract is up some are let go. But given 2020 was basically a wipe out apart from a few reduced number practice matches, so they haven't had a real chance to show much.
 
Congrats on the 5 year deal Nick. Good tough old fashioned no frills footballer. Would be one of our first selected each week.
