    Re: List Management 2015

    Great thread Doc. Isn't Kelly a key defender?

    I would like some reinforcements in the ruck/key forward area. Kreuzer is an intriguing player - I really rate his work ethic around the ground, and his forward craft is very natural for a ruckman, but the injury history is hard to ignore. If he passes a medical, I'd be very keen to look at someone like him.

    In an ideal world he would be perfect for us wouldn't he?

    Unfortunately if he's fit, he'll cost too much, and if he's affordable he won't be fit.

    I think he is slightly undersized for that, plays more as a mid sized defender/mid. His height is deceptive because he's all neck.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    Bingo.

    I actually think a good forward/ruck is a very hard thing to find, those who are even adequate at it are often maligned. Ty Vickery is out of favour at the moment, with Griffiths in front of him (and I really rate Griffiths). That sort of player would suit our forward structure and he's an adequate ruck.

    I really want a genuine second ruck/forward on our list and one more key defender. I think a tall back option of Roughy, genuine CHB, Talia (who is quick and can take the guys Morris does now) would be an ideal framework to work from.

    I hate Vickery but he's big, aggressive, can take a mark and is a wonderful long kick. He is a better realistic CHF option than anyone I can see and with our young stars demanding more and more money we need to consider the best option moving forward. Vickery is ok and would be well priced. He's certainly better than Redpath or Cordy forward and I think we really need to be looking at another key forward.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Not necessarily. Carlton are stretched with their salary cap - they would be reluctant to offer too much coin to him after the Dale Thomas fiasco.

    The gift that keeps on giving; Eddie Betts got absolutely smashed on the weekend and still kicked 4 goals!

    And he's on $600k to $650k pa to kick largely junktime goals.

    If he's 191cm I wouldn't mind selling real estate to the bloke who measured him. In the flesh he looks about the same size as Matthew Boyd.

    Looking at the OP it's an incredibly young list we have at the moment. While we need to balance the salary cap, age wise we're in prime position to sign a 25 year old FA, not that too many are jumping off the page from that list mind you.

    Agree with that, it's a pretty shoddy list.. What about someone like Tarrant or Grima from North? They have quite a few talls and when they are at full strength there will be a couple who won't be in their best 22.

    It lacks quality in the 24-27 age bracket no question, but it's pretty well balanced in terms of positional options and of players who should make it vs players who might make it. Another decent cut at years end to players clogging up space and we'll be on pretty good track.

    Don't fancy Grima, he's undersized and injury prone, but don't mind the idea of Tarrant. He's got big upside and shouldn't cost much given his injury history, unless Norf are just desperate to keep him.

    Re: List Management 2015

    Hopefully the sub rule will be axed for next season which will lessen the need for a forward/ruck. Don't get me wrong - it would still be invaluable to have a Ryder type on the list, but at least reverting to a standard 4 man interchange should make it easier to play 2 legitimate ruckmen if desired.
