Re: List Management for 2020/21
Breaking down like this, if the assumption is Raak doesn't get a bid:
38 Main List - 34 already contracted, JUH & MacPherson - Last two spots Hayes & Cavarra, or one and another pick, or one and a DFA
4 Rookie List A - Sweet, Gardner, *Smith, Live Pick
2 Rookie List B - Khamis, *Raak
The maximum list numbers.
Say Jetta or Stack or some DFA talent is desired. Hayes can always be delisted and picked up with our one live pick in the rookie draft if he gets to our pick. A somewhat safe bet.
Then it's:
In: JUH, MacPherson, Raak, *DFA, Treloar, Martin, Hannan, Hayes (RL)
Out: Dickson (ret), JT, Suckling, Greene, Lynch, Porter, Gowers, Young, Hayes (ML)
That's an impressive 8 player list turnover. Into 6 players and a Cat B after the list size reduction.
Re: List Management for 2020/21
Khamis was upgraded to cat A basically the same the night he was drafted. I don't think you can downgrade any rookies back to cat B.

Not sure how many rebuilding sides make two out of four finals series.

I don't think anyone has been able to explain this. It was a truly mystifying event.

I think we need to stop inventing excuses to explain poor results and start performing to our abilities and we will achieve better results
We have enough quality players
Historically you have been a strong advocate for the club not cutting the list deep enough.
What excuses do you see Beveridge inventing for our poor results?
I also use to think our list was better than it was.
I truly went into 2017 and 2018 thinking we'd be a top four team. I even held out hope we'd be a top six team in 2020 but if anything we went backwards compared to 2019.
If its not the list - what needs to change for us to be top four?

I see the reasons being offered here like the hubs, no VFL and a young an inexperienced list and it never quite washes with me because it's roughly the same challenges for all teams over a cycle of a few years
I've highlighted the area's that Bevo and the coaches need to rethink throughout the season but I suspect we are resolute with our approach and we will have to wait this one out.
I just don't believe the quality of the list is stopping us from progressing deeper in finals but it can always get better.
2021 shapes as a big year for us, a real yardstick season.
Re: List Management for 2020/21
What’s the rules about rookie upgrades now? Roarke has been on the rookie list for 3 years (well 6), which I thought was the cut off before you had to promote or delist. Do we need to make that call on Roarke or have things changed?

He is about 15% more frustrating than Schache, without Schache's height and huge tank.
I'd consider a KPD DFA though if there was anyone decent. I'm surprised it never 'clicked' for Sam Durdin - first rounder KPD that just never put it all together. Part of North's 11-player cull.

I saw Durdin out bodied by Fergus Greene a couple of season back in a marking contest so you're right he just never reached his potential

An assumption on my part. We’ve had a max list and Buku. The club hasn’t been clear how we’ve done it. My best guess is he’s a Cat B.

Good pick up, I thought he was on two. I know some clubs are asking for dispensation to work around rookie list spots, Brisbane got it last year to keep Matt Eagles an extra year on their RL. I guess there's an argument we could make to the AFEL. If we can't get it, then we promote him at the expense of Hayes or Cavarra (only uncontracted main list players) and maybe look at rookie listing them at our picks. Or, we cut Roarke and look at picking him with our first pick in the RD. I'd hope there's a gentlemens agreement between the clubs to allow all clubs to pick back their own players, owing to circumstances.

I was thinking the same thing. We apparently upgraded him to category A after he was drafted for no good reason, yet as you say this year we had 1 more than the max list. This lead me to the same conclusion - somehow Khamis is a cat B rookie.

I think the risk of losing Roarke in the rookie draft is one most of us are willing to take.

Most, except Bevo...
Re: List Management for 2020/21
Since the third man up rule was banned from the start of 2017, Bevo has paid no attention to the value of rucks and that has limited our success.
