Howe, Sidebottom & Adams all contracted through to 2024

Not sure anyone who played for them today is out of contract

Cox was but i think he hit a trigger for next year.

Pendles sidebottom and howe are all quite old but playing well enough to go on. Elliot and hoskin elliot would be marginal but probably go on.

Markov would likely be ooc (being an SSP rookie) and i dont think ginnivan has signed yet but i could be wrong.

I wonder if Pendles reconsiders.
Not much more he can do now, and the end can come pretty quickly at 36.
Still, his second half was very influential.
Sidebottom is an absolute gun of a player, week after week.
I do wonder if the hard work and the hunger will be there off season and next year after the 2 years Collingwood has endured.
We certainly lost the hunger this year, and no matter what people say, it is a human nature thing.
Rare teams can back it up year after year.

I'm going by footywire which is as follows

J. Elliott apparently 2025
Ginnivan, Hoskin-Elliott & Markov listed as 2024

Has BF changed ALL posters details with there being no mention of which team we support?

It's only since the end of the GF and likely linked to the premiership cup badge beside the premiership team

You may have noticed BF shit itself earlier - when that happens, different options get turned off so it can reset itself and this is likely just one of them an will be reset in time
 
If that Pies team is the standard, we get really fit for next year and anything can happen.

Need to bolster our midfield though because as it is won’t cut it.
They are the standard as far as effort, commitment, intensity and fitness.
We do not have resilience in our key players.
Guthrie, Danger, Blicavs, Duncan, Cameron, Stanley all had significant season impacting injuries.
And they are a year older.
I do not have great faith in the crew behind them to be ready to hit that next level.
Atkins is a battler, and gives 100%, but he can go missing
Parfitt has not lived up to his true potential yet.
Bruhn, Clark, Bowes- if they are our best future, and I do rate them, I think they are a fair way below the rest of the contending 12 teams.
 
Sorry, that sort of analysis is drivel.
Their dominance did drop off a little late this season, but they are absolutely relentless. That wins them the flag.

I can't get academic about a game of footy. But this spectacle today was brilliant, captivating, skills on display all match, an unlucky loser, and a fitting winner.
Yep- pies have played at a high and consistent standard for two years now and their best footy in both those years was as good, if not better, than anyone’s. ( except ours last year). Had to beat a good team today. Absolutely earned this flag.
