List Management 2018

[Mantis]

He's still 6th on our list for average tackles per game this year. Amazing effort if it's a 'huge flaw'

I'm not sure why tackle numbers is seen as the best indicator in a players ability to defend... So much more to it.

When Mitch is around the ball he tackles well, but his running ability in transition is poor.

[EasternWest]

It's a huge flaw in his game... His defensive running patterns are the worst in our team.

I have absolutely no idea what this even means.

He doesn't know where to run to when the opposition have the ball

Or too slow to respond or not inclined to respond.

Should we start to be concerned that Libba hasn't signed yet?

I think he's still away.

Still on leave, no doubt he will sign - ( I hope )

Libba on holidays can be dangerous. He's a loose unit.

Yep, he is often the last of our players to respond and then just runs around (slowly) like a headless chook.

Mitch mentioned that this will be his first proper pre-season so hopefully he can work on his repeat sprint efforts.. even though he isn't quick he needs to be able to be able to run at his max. for longer which he hasn't been capable of doing previously which has been no doubt hindered by his horrid broken leg.

An update on how I'm now working this thread.

today Post 3 the draft picks as they stand; 6, 25, 44, 61 & 62 have been updated

Sam Lloyd into small forwards group (Post 3), pick 64 out

Lack of pace in that group is a concern. I hope we're targeting a guy in the draft that'll help our forward pressure.

We're reportedly keen on Ben Cavarra from Williamstown who could fill that role.

And depending what we get for ADams and Roughy , I imagine another 2nd and 4th rounders ?
