List Management for 2020/21

Well maybe for the good of the team, one has to move?

PS: who is 2MP?

"2 Metre Peter" Wright from Suns.

What is the situation with Josh Caddy?

Appears to be on the outer at Richmond. Which is a common theme for him - happened at Geelong also.

He seems to be able to play as a medium forward who can take a mark and kick a goal.

Peter Wright from the Suns

Argh, my suggestion earlier that got shot down by Sedat.

In the lead-in to the Elimination Final, Bevo spoke a number of times about the size of our big men compared to the size of the Saints big men. We are sure to recruit someone 2m+, more than likely for a key position rather than ruck.

Bruce isn't quick and I think we have a preference for the more mobile tall's in the back line so that might mean it's more likely to be Naughton but moving a player who is capable of kicking 50 goals in a season doesn't quite seem right to me

True.

We have played Naughton, Bruce and English up forward, so 2MP, could interchange with English - Ruck/Forward, so maybe we don't move either?

Can Schache be reinvented as a backman, ala Liam Jones

It was interesting in what he said, Ryder plays taller than his 197cm height and that they had (was it?) 7 players around that height
He then said something about they caught us with their pace.
Perhaps we need to strike a better balance if we can recruit well

[Bulldog4life]

Would love Goldy, but a 2021 first round pick for a 32 year old in a team openly telling players to look elsewhere and dying to offload age and salary space so they can begin their very public rebuild?

If Sam power has any negotiation prowess - We take his salary off them for the next 2 years and give them a packet of twisties! Chicken flavour. Snack size.

Goldy has strongly made it know he wants to be a one club player. Not everyone wants to leave their club.

I'd like to think so but I just don't see it. We haven't got a great track record in developing KP players

Sweet, Trengove, Lewis Young and Schache played a combined 4 senior games this season and in a season where the coaches recent comments were about a lack of height. I think this means we will be looking elsewhere to address our needs

I am writing off this season as far as player development is concerned with no VFL.

I can't see a new contract for Trengove, which means we will be desperate for a backup ruckman.

Schack did have a number of injuries in the second half of the season. True he was dropped savagely but really never had the time to work on it uninjured and push for a place. The potential plus side with Schack is worth keeping him on, particularly ahead of players like Dale, Gowers, Greene and Lloyd, and with Dicko retired. He's our mobile forward mid who happens to be a lot taller.

Can we find him a mentor who will turn it around for him? Johnno maybe?

I don't understand feet and inches anymore.

As Rocco says, just because they are tall, doesn't mean they can play. We need to really vett who we chase.

So 6 ft 7in is just over 200cm. Based on what Bevo says and our lack of height, let's vet from this list of players over 200cm. Is Alex Pearce an option?
