You've been a fan for a while; you were keen on him when it became apparent he was on the move from Collingwood.
Why couldn't he get a regular gig at the Hawks? What is holding him back?

Speaking of new profile pics I must say I am seeing a strong resemblance between myself and my new profile pic..

I'd rather keep Hunter - Phillips' hurt factor is poor, he isn't quick or strong overhead and it's debatable if he still has that running power.

What happened to him? He was a serious good player in that GF. His got a tank, looked like he could mark and not bad kick. We really need to find an Ed Langdon type player
Is Blake ACres worth looking at?

Probably but if it's Jones, Lobb and Rowe coming in that probably is close to the extent of what we would do.

Re: List Management thread (For 2022)
Aside from the Dunkley situation if all we do is recruit Jones, Lobb and Rowe and gift further contracts to a host of average only players including Cordy and McComb I look forward to us finishing 10th in 2023.

Especially if the sub par play significant number of games. I’m waiting to see what magic Power and also our chief recruiter can weave. Plus what coach assistants we bring in. Go Dogs.

Re: List Management thread (For 2022)
So Melbourne have the best tap ruckman in the game, and rightly or wrongly they are aggressively chasing possibly the 2nd best tap ruckman in the game. They won a flag 12 months ago, not 6 years ago.
Richmond, rightly or wrongly, are aggressively chasing midfield bulls to bolster an area of clear deficiency. They have won 3 flags since we won ours.
I hope we are similarly doing everything possible to aggressively improve our list balance and depth quality while we have a core group of elite talent.

I think it's misguided to think the only way the team can improve is through trading. Yes it's the most immediate way to add talent to the list but we've seen plenty of circumstances where that hasn't helped (Essendon, for a long time Carlton, Hawks post 2016) and plenty of examples where teams have improved despite trading out players or having senior figures retire. I think of Port's campaign after drafting the likes of Rozee and Butters instead of trading like they had been doing (Motlop, Watts etc)
Sometimes the talent is there and there are just other changes that need to happen in the background that are less obvious to us.I'd love to see us bring in an A grade or B+ key defender but we should still be expecting a better standard from this group of players next year even if we don't manage that IMO.

Re: List Management thread (For 2022)
After watching Lobbe tonight surely we have seen enough of him over the years to see he is no good.
