Number 3 still a glaring omission :S

Happy days!

Great boost on the eve of finals.

Where is Gaffy signiture!

 

[ep2018]

Trade Gaff at the end of the year. Dont want to be shafted when he is out of contract next year.

 

[WCE_Phill]

Sad but true!

 

[groga]

Guys gaff will sign over summer. They are working on an extension as we speak! RELAX

 

[new breed]

OMG Timmy was temporarily right ......We need to apologise a little

 

[lynchy magic]

there was a video on fox sports saying that Darling was going to sign soon and Gaff would sign on in the coming weeks as they were still working on the contract.

Just watched it, says Darling was close to signing and Gaff would after the finals. Don't think we have anything to worry about in regards to gaff right now.

Same. However, if he is not signed by trade week, then I will be a bit concerned.

Gaff is no problem. There are THAT many threads about Gaff, so lets not make this one of them.

Great news with the signings of these three, realistically all were going to sign anyway.
Does anybody else think Embley will struggle to be best 22 next season though? I hope its only a one year extension...

 

[richy4]

Of course, but worrying right now would be silly. Let him finish off the season and make up his mind.

Wish they said how long the deals where for, Embley was only meant to get another year i read somewhere.

Yeh Embers is on a one year contract was in the paper a few days ago.

 

[Biggie]

Great news and will be better once #3 signs too.

 

[Mancey]

This year or next year?

 

[greennick]

This year or next year?

This year. I will be shitting myself if he isn't signed by trade week next year.

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

So the club hasn't disclosed the length of the new contracts? Is this because of the Judd-as scenario a few years back? Great news anyway.

 

[Mancey]

West coast are notorious for not releasing the actual lengths of contracts. It's a pain

Nah it's good look at all the fans going nuts over gaffs contract.

Much better if it's kept in house aka Luke shuey's.

 

[larrikin]

I thought Kennedy only signed on for longer earlier this year

 

[pantskyle]

I am happy

 

[dajesmac]

People do realise that not all players have to re-sign/extend their contracts at the exact same time right...

 

[dajesmac]

I thought Kennedy only signed on for longer earlier this year

That does ring a bell. Was it shortly after his 10 goal haul?

Or did I dream that.
