    Re: List Management thread (For 2022)

    Stef on another year? Your joking right? No chance.

    We have Grundy, Lobb, Meek all looking to float clubs and we re-sign the animated corpse of Stef Martin?

    God, I do question our club sometimes.

    If we retain Martin clearly we do not value list spots.

    Surely you can't be serious?

    Disagree, Martin is our 3rd choice ruck. If we are down to 3rd choice and need those 4 games any replacement will be sufficient.

    Too much of anything is no good. Loyalty is important, but surely there’s a limit.

    Melbourne will take Grundy and at $600k Meek is a very expensive VFL ruckman (because we've locked in English as our no 1, no doubt in the MC mind)

    Not that I think we should retain Stef but it was apparent late in the season that Sweet still hasn't passed a decrepit Martin.

    Haha how dumb are we. Martin is past cooked he's frigging charcoal.

    I don't want to hear that he is a ruck whisperer and we play better when he is in the team. No more Martin!

    Thought this might be a tipping point for you. Certainly shows me that we are taking an attitude of 'dont need to change much' to list management.

    Can't and won't believe this.

    I mean, I don't blame Stef (girls girls get that cash, if it's 9 to 5 or shakin' that ass) but this is straight up mismanagement if true.

    Is it an acceptance the Lobb deal is tote in wasser die?

    The mitigation was a Martin extension for min chips.

    I don’t think Lobb and Stef are directly competing for a spot.

    No, but maybe a ruck depth thing.

    I'm buggered if I can come up with a valid reason.
