List Mgmt. GWS Players Contract Status

[ragzztoriches]

What is the consensus here about HH status moving forward, Footy Class (I know , but still) reckon he is a lock to go to sydney on an 8! year deal.

Im not sure if I want us to keep him because I'm not sure how much value/$ he will bring in his current half back flank role, but I was disengaged from the club during 2020-2022 due to illness and surgery so what do others think?

Great news regarding XOH - if it's correct.

Just hope AFL.com.au haven't got their wires crossed and confused Ash's contract extension with XOH (the years match) as there's no announcement on the Giants website or Twitter feed.

Would be embarrassing.

I got the impression it was about XOH but in the about to be announced stage.

imagine if they have confused Ash and Xavier,

if they offer him an 8 year deal on decent dollars, he should definitely take it. That sets him up for life.

imagine if they have confused Ash and Xavier,

As someone who worked in the media for a long time and has seen the rapid decline in 'journalism', I wouldn't be the least surprised.

The lack of official announcement from the Giants is what's got me thinking.

AFL.com.au may have jumped the embargo - but it's just....odd.

Worry no more ...

I'm glad he's staying.

His field kick and ability to take hangers come in very handy sometimes.

Slightly surprised about Derksen as he just wasn't getting a look in the top grade. But glad they have both gotten a couple more years.

has already received a $3 million contract offer to secure his AFL future - and he might have to give up a million if he wants to stay in orange.

The 25-year-old, who joined GWS with pick 14 back in 2016, holds “the most lucrative three letters in football” according to the Herald Sun’s Jon Ralph.

“UFA. Unrestricted free agent,” he explained on Fox Footy’s Midweek Tackle.

“I can tell you tonight there are clubs out there who’ll be offering $800,000 for him. So why is it? Because he’s a free agent, but also because he’s a general defender who kicks the ball really well, he locks down.

“Again, I’ll say it, he’s an unrestricted free agent. He was third in their best and fairest in 2020, he has not finished in the top 10 in the best and fairest in any other year.

“GWS are aware of what’s going on, they’ve offered him five years at about $650,000. He’s in the leadership group, his partner plays for the Giants Netball team, she’s an Australian Diamonds netballer.

“It’s obscene money ... he wants to stay, (but) he’s probably going to have to give up a million bucks.”

Perryman had interest from Port Adelaide back in 2020 and the South Australian club again has interest in the versatile Riverina product.

He has played 115 AFL games but only once, in 2023 when he featured 22 times, has he played more than 19 in a season.

I like Pez, but holy ****, $800k mainly 'cos he's UFA? That's crazy $$$.

line in the sand moment.

Similar situation to Harry, I think. Other clubs will offer huge $$$ to prise them out of the club (the old adage, need to offer more to get them to leave), beyond what their worth is. Depends whether they want to make huge bucks, or can see a future at this club, and being locals (as much as you can for this club) will accept less.

 

[GWS Goose]

I think we'll do the same as with Himmelberg, Cogs and Kelly plus other. We'll offer him a good contract, but less than he could get elsewhere, hopefully he stays because he is happy, but if he takes the extra million over 5 years, who could blame him.
The more you earn, the less the extra bit of cash means. The difference between $650k and $800K means less than the difference between $400 and $550k

is looking to "block out" any potential distraction in his contract decision as the Giants look to snap their form against a red-hot Carlton this week.

Perryman is one of the game's most wanted out-of-contract players, with the versatile Giant being hunted by Port Adelaide, Adelaide and Hawthorn, with other clubs also interested in the unrestricted free agent.

The Giants, too, have put a five-year offer to keep Perryman, who said on Monday there could be progress on his situation in coming weeks.

"It's been interesting. I've never gone through this too much before. It's a pretty boring answer but I try to block all that stuff out and that's why I pay my manager so he can look after that," Perryman told AFL.com.au.

"Up in Sydney it's easy as you're kind of away from it all. Hopefully something can happen pretty soon over the next couple of weeks or month but if not we'll just try to keep playing good footy.

"My manager is always in contact with the club and trying to sort stuff out so he's working bloody hard."

The 25-year-old, who was a graduate of the club's Academy and a first-round pick in 2016, said the focus on his future had been something new to him.

"It is a little bit weird to be honest, but as it's gone on you get a little bit used to it and you just try to worry about being the same person each day at the club and not letting that affect the way you are at the club," he said.

"I've had some good mates leave the club over the years and obviously boys have signed on. There's always plenty of support there and plenty of people to reach out and talk to, so I'm pretty lucky on that one."

Perryman's focus is on turning around the Giants' form, with last year's preliminary finalists losing to Adelaide by 16 points on the weekend. It was Adam Kingsley

's side's sixth loss from its past eight games after a five-game winning run to start the season.

The club has averaged only 10 goals a game through that period, a significant gap behind the leading flag contenders.

"We spoke about it after the game and we're just that little bit off. We're trying bloody hard to turn it around but it's just not coming at the moment. We're still confident we can turn it around and we'll get our review done today and look to move forward from there," Perryman said.

"Our hunger around the footy has dropped off a little bit from all areas – forwards, mids and backs. If we can get that back to where it needs to be then our ball movement usually takes care of itself after that."

Perryman returned from a month out of action with a hamstring injury to face the Crows, with the defeat leaving the Giants sit in 10th place in a cramped ladder, with 13 teams competing for a finals spot.

He said any concerns about a slip-up being costly could be set against the opportunity of a win over the Blues, who have won their past five games.

"I kind of look the other way – if you get a good win this week then you're back in top-four nearly. We'll probably look at it with that point of view and say if you get on a good run this time of year then it can be a good time to be playing your best footy," he said.

"It's only a game from 13th to fourth or something like that so you've got to look at it that way. If you're looking at it the other way then it's not the best frame of mind to be in so we're definitely looking at the positive side of things."

 

[GWS Goose]

I like the hope to have it sorted in a couple weeks line.
That implies he is likely tpo stay.
