Players out of contract at EFC are:
Kaine Baldwin
Cory Brand
Joshua Eyre
Aaron Francis
Brayden Ham
Dyson Heppell *
Cian McBride
Jye Menzie
James Stewart
Alec Waterman *
(* = unrestricted free agent)
IMO, only Stewart and Menzie are non-negotiable re-signings
Baldwin, Brand and Eyre should get another 1 year so the new coach etc gets a look at them and can make a decision.
Stewart has signed on for another 2 years.
Agree with your thoughts on the others.
Liam Stocker enters his third season at the elite level looking to add to the five games he played in his debut season. Having spent the majority of his pre-season training as a midfielder, Stocker was singled out over the pre-season by Senior Coach David Teague for his work in contested drills over the course of the summer. Just as likely to win the contested ball as he is to punish the opposition with his disposal by foot, Carlton fans will be looking to see a spike from Stocker in 2021.

It appears the Irishman is looking to return to Australia. What a great HB line that would be with Hynd on one side and McKenna on the other. I wonder if we are even talking to him. On the same note, I hope we are still in touch with Tippa. You never know what can happen especially if you do not ask.
Too far for Baker now he's on to it, now he’s got it, OPEN GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Dons are in front by one point at the 8 minute mark
Yeah, last year Dunkley and Bobby Hill wanted to come to us. Now it seems they`ll go to any-body but us, but who can blame them not wanting to come to our shambolic lot?.
We are keen on the Jack Bowes and pick 7 combo. Competing with Geelong for that deal (though I would have thought we have much more cap space than the cats - especially as they seem to be getting McKenna).
We are also keen on Corbett from the Suns. 190 cm tall, 26 years old ... but has only played 36 games over 4 seasons for less than a goal a game (33 goals). On paper doesn't sound great.
I would have thought our major priority would be a quick crumber. Sadly, Bobby Hill is one his way to the pies.
The other priority would be an experienced big bodied FB. Laverde has been punching above his weight all season.
