Have it on good authority that Brad Scott has informed:

* Brent Harvey
* Nick DalSanto
* Michael Firrito
* Drew Petrie

have been told they won't be offered contracts next season. Boomer is apparently shattered. Don't be surprised if Hawks come sniffing as Clarko is a big fan. At 38 years of age his form is still brilliant. Can't tell me he wouldn't be better than Blair.

Maybe an Assistant coaching playing role for a year.

Actually would not mind Boomer at the PIes for a one off season, now we have lost swan, the caff, tooves and maybe cloke, We now need some experienced players to mentor out kids, and Harvey would be ideal for one season in that role, and he still plays damn well. :idea:

Agreed. Boomer is shattered hence couldn't go on SEN tonight.

Last matches in Melbourne. Club's way of saying goodbye to fans!

Lol....as if the coach would tell 4 senior players on the eve of finals that they are being discarded. Your good authority is a moron.

What coach goes into game thinking they can't win! And besides, they might play the Bulldogs or Hawks week 1. Your source is one from a bottle.

If Harvey was 28 and in his current form he'd be offered a 4 year deal.

Worth a 2 year contract for the right team.

The other guys are finished.

Pass. We're likely to make finals in 2017 but they're the sort of player you might consider if your top 4 and looking to go the extra step the following year.
