Shocktober to Now List Management Discussion

Shocktober Onward (6 Years): Players traded out/otherwise picked up after delisting:

B: Hamling Jones Talia (Daniel, Cloke, Lipinski)
HB: .... Roughead M. Adams (W. Hayes, Vandermeer & part of Bruce)
C: Tutt Higgins Cooney (Hamilton, Biggs & Webb)
HF: Dahl Stringer .... (part of Schache & Richards, R. West)
F: Hrovat J. Grant Crameri (not much)
R: Campbell Gryphone K. Stevens (T. Boyd & La Young)

These are the approximate direct trades, I didn’t want to get stuck in the weeds.

For lots of reasons we’ve moved a lot of 190cm+ players on. Mainly defenders. We’ve also moved on a lot of first and second round players. But Schache, Richards, T. Boyd, La Young, Rhylee West, Lipinski, Daniel and part of the Bruce transaction looks great for the future. While Daniel, Biggs & Tom Boyd were important Premiership Players.

I don’t want another Hamling trade thread. Yes we sold low. But getting anything for Hrovat, Koby Stevens while netting Daniel for Jones is a decent return. Arguably we held some too long like Jarred Grant who was delisted a couple of years after other clubs were asking about him. Should we embrace the players and AFEL want for movement and be more proactive in moving players on while they hold some value? There’s a few that fit this currently.

The lack of KPD defender replacement is obvious, so what else does the quick analysis show us?
