2025 Free Agents
Posted: Thu Oct 17, 2024 8:19 pm
Didnt want to start a new thread in GD, so starting it in here (less traffic, I know, but I guess we're talking about other teams players and something thats 12 months away).
Now with the trade period over, I wanted to look at next years free agency list. We know we will likley be saying goodbye to a few of the older players next season and they'll be some room to move. So who is out there? (Note: a lot of these guys will be re-signed well before the Grand Final is here, but let's look just for fun anyway)

From that link above, I think the big ones are:
Darcy Fogarty - 25yo Key Forward with some baggage.
Brandon Starcevich - Who doesnt have room for a familiar family name? (Helps that his uncle was my very first favourite player. Also Bobby Hill can practice his ladder climbing at training).
Tom De Koning - Who wouldn't love taking one away from that club? 201cm ruck. (Cox retiring?)
Sam Draper - See above.
Andrew Brayshaw - I can see the photos with Maynard now. Won't sign with us.
Luke Davies-Uniacke - That's for meddling with our Houston trade. Take their best player. What a land this would be.
Oscar Allen - Key forward.
Dom Sheed - I mean, could you imagine.
Marcus Bontempelli - Yes please. Getting a bit older, but far out, engrave the 2026 cup now.
Ed Richards - Family connection. Has become a good player. (Sidebottom retiring?).
Here are our free agents:
Mason Cox
Jamie Elliott
Will Hoskin-Elliott
Jeremy Howe
Brayden Maynard
Brody Mihocek
Scott Pendlebury
Steele Sidebottom
Oleg Markov
You'd think Maynard and would be the priority. And you'd think a few there may call it a day this time next year. Checkers and WHE I think we'll hang on to. Pendles may have the record in his sights. I dont think anyone there would get a call from another club, but it would have been interesting if Tassy were coming into the comp in 2026 instead of 2028 as I could have seen them taking Howe, Checkers and Cox.
