Consensus seems to be Zac.

[Con Gorozidis]

Almost cetainly will be Zac

[Hurricane]

Most reports indicate its Dawson.

Regardless of what kind of a player his is or was if he has rejected an offer as has been reported Freo is welcome to him.

BANG BANG

[InkerSaint]

None of the articles have mentioned Raph, is he signed up already?

[Joffa 5]

It says there's contracts on the table for 3 of the quartet. I was under the impression there is a contract on the table for Zac (Whether he signs it or not is another story). So does that mean one of Dempster, Peake or Ray haven't been offered a contract?

Consensus seems to be Zac. Sadly he is the hardest to replace structurally

Agree, he is no superstar but very hard to replace. I would also like to see how he goes under the new coaching set up, I think the new set up would be good for him.

Or it means some have already signed.

I'm sure I'm reading too much into it and fully expect Zac to be the one to go

[WinnersOnly]

Perhaps out of all of this Raph CLARKE has been squeezed out?

When you think about it, he is the player whom we have plenty of backups available to fill the position. I dont know what he would attract money wise but I get the feeling he may be the one on the outer so they can keep Dawson?

From a list management perspective it would sense!

[Junction Oval]

The Club has had plenty of time to shuffle the Contract Offers. Let's hope that they have retained their priority players. The Coaching/Fitness positions have been settled and they are looking pretty good for anyone who wants to stay.

I get the feeling that Zac is sitting on an offer that we can't match. Only a few days now before we finally know. 18 pages of comment on Zac on another thread, indicates that there is plenty of interest by supporters, in the outcome.

[IluvHarvey]

I had no idea what this thread was about when I read the title!!

I am not happy about how Raph is never mentioned. Would rather lose Zac.

I actually cant follow how people can say that. Zac is a KPP and no obvious replacement and Raph is an ordinary HBF and there are other options there. Zac for all his apparent failures has a much better finals record than Raph. If it was a choice and obviously it isnt I would have Zac as the last to lose out of all the apparently uncontracted players.

Simple get rid of Raph bring in Simpkin?

LOSE NOT LOOSE

[borderbarry]

Of the two, I would rather lose Zac. There. I said it again. That is my opinion. I am sure that a younger player on our list can fill in at full back given the chance. lZac is not irreplaceable. Far from it in my opinion.

Who is this magical player who can replace Zac?

+1 - Zac cops a rough deal from all & sundry IMO. A HBF can easily be replaced... thats where you send out of form midfielders to find form!

LOSE NOT LOOSE

And surely "player" should be plural or It should read "one experienced player"

[Dr Spaceman]

LOSE NOT LOOSE

Maybe it's cryptic.

Some consider Zac to be a loose player at times

Also I think you will find he had some prunes to dinner last night.

[SainterK]

Set Zac loose, set him free?
