I'll update as more list changes or re-signings are announced.
Which key players from last season are yet to re-sign?
Paul,
Fordham and Lambert are big losses, both massively important to us last season. Kai Owens, Max Williams and James Rendell would be my targets to get stitched up quickly.
Yep, getting those three back is important, for sure.
Another huge loss. Ryley Stoddart to Williamstown.
Saw a comment on BigFooty saying that Stoddard and Kai Owens were probably leaving Frankston. Stings to see Stoddard go, hopefully the part about Owens isn't true.
Yep, losing Stoddart is a debacle. If Owens is added to that, then this is yet another year of changing coaches and having to rebuild. A couple of years back we were every chance of playing finals before covid bit us.....and with a young team that was seriously going places. Now, as we continue to show a lack of stability off the ground, we lose the guts of our team and are in danger of slipping to rock bottom without some good replacements.
It's time this club got serious about its' direction. With what is ahead in terms of changes to the VFL, we won't have a club in ten years time, maybe even five.
Tom Murphy has returned to Frankston after a season spent with Sommerville in the MPFNL.
Frankston have recruited 2022 premiership player George Grey from Casey
Another former Dragon, Kornberg is doing a good job getting his former players who want opportunities to come down the highway.
Didn't know he was originally from the Dragons. It's a good sign in my opinion, doubt he would be drawing his former players over if they didn't think well of him.
