Keep, better than a draftee taken at pick 70.

Our rep. on SEN just said Menadue is out of contract and we'll access his position in the next week or two.

At least a 1 year deal should be on the table, has shown improvement year on year albeit slowly. I think Miller is in trouble and Moore could be looked at for a rookie position. My take on things :shh

That was Blair Hartley

At least a 1 year deal should be on the table, has shown improvement year on year albeit slowly. I think Miller is in trouble and Moore could be looked at for a rookie position. My take on things :shh

My take after listening to Blair Hartley is that he is unlikely to be offered a contract. Rookie option at best

It all depends on who, what and how many we're targeting in the drafts, whether well use a pre-season supplemental pick again, leave a spot free for the mid-season draft, Higgins' recovery/LTI list etc...if there's DFA or two in our sights...with Weller, Grigg & Butler already out we might only delist one or two but we could  just as easily delist as many as five (Townsend, Moore, Menadue, Aarts, Miller.)...:shh

I’d keep Menadue and Moore out of that lot. Reckon they’ll give aarts another year too.

Looks like Towner and Miller being delisted. Hopefully Towner onto the VFL list.

Sounds like Menadue is gone from what Hartley said on SEN....Butler's departure will probably save Aarts for another year,,,though it shouldn't - clearly not AFL standard... Moore might get some grace due to being injured for most of last year, though I doubt it...Miller looks a bust but you should give a bloke with his size & pace at least a third year...tipping we won't though....the other thing to take into consideration is that Baker, Chol, Pickett and Stack have surely all earned themselves permanent upgrades to the senior list....hell there's even an arguable case for Eggmolese-Smith as well(though I don't think he will be this year)...  :shh

As has been reported, Pickett will be on a rookie contract next year under the conditions of his mid-season drafting.
Smith would still be under a rookie contract due to his recruitment under academy rules.
Stack may also be able to be kept on the rookie list under his pre-season recruitment rules, like Pickett.

Like all rookies, both are able to play seniors while remaining on the rookie list.

Think Menadue has been told he's delisted which is why he was looking at Fremantle.
Same with Moore I think.
Miller can be rookied if necessary but don't think Moore can as he has been on the rookie list before.

Forgot about the MSD contract rules re:Pickett.. can't imagine Stack would've extended his contract for rookie wages thogh....and yes I believe Moore can't be re-rookied after being elevated.... :shh

I think he should get a contract for a year, I don’t see the value in letting him go,

The value may be we pick a player in the draft like Sydney Stack to take his place.

Interestingly everyone seems to think Miller is a goner.

I know he hasn't showed much so far but he's 195cm and has been with the club two years.

As a tall I would consider keeping him another year or two on minimal $$$ since we know they take longer to develop.

Yet everyone wants to keep Menadue who after 5 years is apparently starting to show signs he might make a player?
