I would assume so but I won't put them in til they are official

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Wow, 2014 is a massive danger year for us in regards to contracts. Hopefully we get a majority of them signed up very early on.

 

[BoonDawg]

Love the idea for the thread.
Small fix - under contracts you have Hunter listed twice.

This thread has the same aim as the post-season "facts" thread but this one covers it better and more clearly. Mods, i suggest you delete the other thread and sticky this one. No need to transfer posts from there to here as there is nothing new to be added and it would just clutter up this thread.

Well done BRG93!

Will be a great coach for the Footscray bulldogs. Very excited about him being head coach. My brother in law knows chris maple really well. Maple coached in Ballarat years back and has taken sides from being dead last to finalist teams within a season. Is supposedly really good at developing young players.
He has been good at the bulldogs so far, but I am predicting that he will be great for the Footscray bulldogs. He will really shine as coach.

You know what I had my phone out to take a snap, then remembered I'm not a silly teenager.
Should I now forget how old I am and just do it from now on ?
