List Management thread (For 2022)

You are bang on about the problems of taking VFL mids but the few times I saw Garner he hasn't done enough to warrant serious consideration but for a rookie spot maybe he is worth a try.

For me no to Garner and no to Sullivan

Just watched Sam Power interview today on our website. Thoroughly professional and didn’t give anything away whilst being respectful of Freo & Lions. Well done Sam, I’m confident you’ll broker a fair deal for Lobb and Dunkley if Freo and Lions want to play ball.

I say yes. I saw him play live and he looked pretty much at home. Like JUH, just got to play these guys, sometimes it is going to be a baptism of fire but these guys are good enough.

At a guess Tarryn Thomas.

Reported to be on $700k pa each of the next two seasons.
That's huge coin for what he's shown so far

JJ re-signing on a much lesser contract
Dunkley money free'd up
Hunter money (potentially) free'd up

We have cap to play with, and we should.

If that's the case I'd wouldn't be bothered in chasing him too hard.

Pretty much the same coin as Hunter. Both clubs should be themselves to get more out of the other player… trading salary compromised players with each other where cap isn’t an issue. Makes perfect sense to me to go after TT, and Clarkson would be himself to get Hunter back to his best, while North get a seasoned player. TT is a point of difference for us.

That’s basically a straight swap of salaries with Hunter. What if North were happy in a straight trade for Hunter (or a slight pick upgrade)?

Nothing changes in our cap.

JONES SET FOR DOGS RETURN

LIAM Jones is set to rejoin the AFL, and the Western Bulldogs, on Tuesday with the club expected to lodge paperwork for his free agency signing.

Jones quit Carlton before this season due to his COVID-19 vaccination stance but the Dogs have secured him to bolster their defence and will sign him as a free agent.

An uncertainty on Zaine Cordy's future as a free agent meant for a wait on Monday, with potential dilution of free agency compensation if Cordy departed for a rival club, but the Dogs are tipped to proceed with the Jones move on Tuesday.

Cordy has a two-year offer from the Bulldogs, but the unrestricted free agent hasn't signed it, with the backman catching links to St Kilda.

The Dogs' addition of Jones would trigger a compensation pick for Carlton, who will then have a clearer view of their draft hand before securing Blake Acres. – Callum Twomey

Hunter won a B&F to warrant that salary but Thomas is being paid that more on potential.
It might not impact our cap management position but he would be leapfrogging a few of our players so is it really worth it?

Welcome back Liam.
Bye bye Zaine.

Would Hunter want to go to north though?

I’d suggest restructuring the salary like Schache. Which was $1M over 2 years, we made it $1M over 3 years. We’ve paid for ‘potential’ in the past, sometimes very successfully. Sometimes Schache, sometimes Tom Boyd.

If the choice is keeping Hunter treading water on $700k, trading him for peanuts and paying some salary, or replacing him with a new player on a similar wage who we think can offer the team more and reach a higher level. My preference easily is TT.
