List Management 2015

I thought he was out of contract and then resigned recently.

December 8, 2014 - Ruckman Matthew Lobbe signs new four-year contract as Port Adelaide ticks off another big name

I thought he was out of contract and then resigned recently.

He has 3 years left on his contract but apparently said at his exit interview that he felt the combo with Ryder wasn't working and that he may be better off looking elsewhere. Makes sense with Port recruiting Charlie Dixon and Ryder being a better Ruck than forward.

Port are also rumoured to be very, very tight on salary cap, which would make them more open to moving on a player on good coin who may be surplus to requirements. On AFL trade radio they said Hinkley keen on keeping Lobbe but others in Port List Management happy to trade

The article was written by Jake Niall so this has credibility.

You would think that this one could have legs.

There is the link to Bevo, he's a free agent so no cost, our CEO mentioned something about FA's, and he suits the age profile Bevo felt needed to be bolstered.

Suckling is like Jeff Thompson. Can really hammer the ball but quite often it goes anywhere and he has no other strings to his bow. He's really player 18-20 at the Hawks and if they get a compo pick they'll be more than happy with that.

Personally I like him. You need that big leg cannon in your side. If Bevo thinks he can play a role that's good enough for me.

Me too, we need a new whipping boy

Yes there are certain woofers that would love that

[lemmon]

Not sure about this one. Doesn't defend well enough for the back line and doesn't win his own footy through the middle. I wouldn't hate the move but I don't see him adding much of what we need

A whipping boy that actually sucks for once!

I don't mind him as a player, despite his obvious weaknesses in defending, but I'm not sure he fills any real need for us? I would have thought with Murphy/Boyd/JJ/Biggs and then Prudden/Webb in reserve we wouldn't even be thinking about a HBFer.

Perhaps he pushes up to a wing, but even then, we have pretty good depth.

I wouldn't hate the move but I'd rather we use the money on a KPD or somebody like Aish.

[Go_Dogs]

I can see why he appeals as Boyd is likely in his last season, and besides JJ/Biggs we don't have a lot of fast running, long kicking depth for the half back area. Webb and Prudden are different types of players at this stage.

[dog town]

Hard to know what to think without knowing what we are offering him. I will say that guys with a weapon like him are invaluable in tight finals. Obviously a different player but guys like Stewy Dew come to mind.

[jeemak]

We need an outside player with a penetrating kick. If he's good enough to play in a Hawks best 22 over a very successful period and competent with defending to an extent where fitting into a structure effectively isn't a problem then he's probably good enough for us.

Our defence has players in it that would have been troubled if not afforded the comfort of the fledgeling but reasonably strong structure we put together this year. No player is perfect.

How many players have won three and above premierships across two clubs?
