    Awesome!

    "Some of Sydney's biggest names are off contract next year when free agency is introduced, which would allow the likes of stalwart Adam Goodes, Jarrad McVeigh and Ryan O'Keefe to move freely to other clubs if they so desired"

    I'm not worried about any of those except Ryan... I wonder where his head is at a few years down the track from his last attempt to leave? My guess is as close to the end as he will be by then, he will stay and finish up a one club player and then return to Melbourne.

      Good signing, he's been average this year but he did enough last season and during preseason to show me that this is good news. The more important re-signing is Rohan, however. I can definitely picture a few Victorian clubs getting into his ear, maybe Geelong to try and get us back for taking Mummy.

        Great to see Jetta locked in, but that's the one I'm hanging out on.
        I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
        We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

          Good news.

          I'm not looking forward to free agency though.

            Great news, but I'll breathe a bigger sigh of relief once we lock in Sam Reid to a long term extension as well. Anyone know if he is out of contract at the end of this year?

              I assume he is as draft selections sign 2 year deals only once selected by the club, hence the need to sign rohan aswell.

                We'll be lucky to keep them all. GWS can offer Sam and Gary a lot more money then we can pay them so it wouldn't surprise me if one of them goes.

                  Yes, it is inevitable that they will get someone..

                    I was thinking more of the go home factor than the GWS one. Both Gary and Sam (both country boys) had recent articles where they said that they really struggled at first to adapt to Sydney life. They followed up by saying they're pretty settled now but i still take that with a grain of salt.

                    Jolly had an article the same year he left saying he can't see himself anywwhere else but in Sydney and could see that he wanted to finish his career here or something along the lines.

                    Let's just hope like hell they both follow Jetta's lead.

                      I'd imagine we'd have some cash to splash around too? Goodsey and perhaps ROK would come under the Vetren's list? I do not know the fine print, however, I think that means they are / would be exempt from the salary cap?

                        I think it's been a blessing to have Gold Coast enter the comp a year before GWS.
                        The big money will still be tempting, but potential recruits will have seen first hand the floggings gold coast are recieving every other week.

                        So I don't think there are going to be as many willing to leave, unless it's for better opportunities.

                          GWS have two years to recruit uncontracted players versus Gold Coast's one. I'd be very surprised if they don't snap up at least one Swan.

                            Have a look at the talent Gold Coast have. They are going to be some side in a few years. If I was a Suns supporter I'd be so excited by watching the development of these young players.

                            The money, being part of history and playing with some of the best young juniors available will tempt some players I'm sure.

                              I reckon that Bevan will most likely go to GWS.
