Re: List Management for 2020/21
Surprised that nobody in the media has tackled this issue yet. How can it be that only 6-7 clubs get all of the high profile free agents and half of those 6-7 clubs have been dreadful for a decade?
Even Melbourne seem to be constantly in the mix and would have extensive old boys/private school networks.

If you are recognised as a good Carlton player you probably do have more after football employment options.

Any gems amongst this lot? Maybe TT can help us:

I like how things are working for Carlton and Essendon over the last decade plus.
Plenty of players choose their own version of mediocrity.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
Absolutely great point. I'm always amazed when these players nominate (actually choose, which is another issue) these perennially underperforming clubs. It simply doesn't make sense.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
Why would free agents want to go to the dogs?
We have Naughty, English and incoming JUH potentially three most talented talls in the comp.
A midfield of Bont,Libba,Macrae,Dunkley,Smith and Hunter
The best smallest player in the AFL bar none Caleb Daniel.
Yeah nah lets go to a side that finished..
2014 13th
2015 18th
2016 14th
2017 16th
2018 18th
2019 16th
2020 11th
Aka Carlton
Actually maybe Essendon they haven't won a final since 2004 surely they are due?
Makes complete sense to me

Would we consider McDonald?

Crazy year indeedDemon Tom McDonald has been cruising around Twin Waters in a Mercedes complete with “DOGS54” plates.
A strange look the day the Dees were hoping the Dogs lost. Borrowed car from his partner’s parents ... who are big Dogs fans.

At the right price, yes - but we'd want to get some sense of where he is at physically - hes historically been an excellent performer first as a key defender and then forward
He seems more suited as a key defender and more natural in that role

I view this list reduction and trade period as providing some opportunities to acquire an asset from another club that we can recast into a more effective role for us
We should be considering all KP defensive prospects

Perhaps, he's had an average season though

He has been mucked about from Full back to full forward. I think he is more of a defender.
