List Management thread (For 2022)

Not a lot of movement so far, but great to see Jones locked away.

Can’t believe Grundy is looking like a pick 27 with Pies paying salary and we aren’t up to our eyeballs in it, but I guess we couldn’t get the sell to Grundy and manager.

GD and Grundy open to taking a pay cut.

Which player F’scary?

sorry about delay. Long, Tall Darcy

2021 we really needed to cut deeper.

Counter to that is who else was on the chopping block:

- Wallis - only 6 games and not really in plans - but was our vice captain, sets standards, good person - I don't think many had an issue with a 1 year contract and backed him to get back in the best 22

- Crozier - 1 year in to a 3 year deal

- Stef - should have been gone and replaced

- Schache - played in the GF, had a contract, plenty of upside

- Cordy - played 19 games

- Butler - I think he's shown us what he will be. Should have been cut.

- Khamis - showed with his games in 2022 that he was worth keeping

- West/Garcia/McNeill - clump them together but they all contributed last year and again this year. I don't think a late pick or other rookie would have been less speculative thank keeping them.


Conclusion I see two other potential changes in Butler and Martin, with a question mark on Wallis. I don't think we managed the list particularly well, but I think 6 changes off a grand final is fine and if we were getting rid of the others it needed to be for trades - not speculative late picks.

Our biggest limitation in the last few years has been Darcy and JUH swallowing all our draft capital, as again if you could drop Butler and replace with a second rounder that is a different story to dropping Butler and replacing with pick 80.

If Cordy joins Saints, what compensation is reasonable?

for the Saints?

We should probably make a contract thread or something so we can have easy access to this kind of stuff.

The only ongoing joke better than this one, is Essendon.

Kind of disappointed that we weren't into Acres, I reckon he will be a good signing for the Blues.

Agreed.

Given our wing issues and Hunter a likely departure, this would have been a good move.

Hate to say it, but Carltons list looks great. They're going to be more than a handful for a while.

A Bigfooty poster that has been on fire has said Zaine has told his teammates that he is going, I think it's best for both parties.

Good luck Zaine!

Yeah no ill will for me. Tried his guts out for us. BullGod.

Twomey tweets that Zaine will head to St. Kilda on a 3-year deal.

That's not a move I'd be making, but kudos to Zaine on getting that.

Safe to say I've been hard on him, but won't forget his heroics in 2016.

If you need a lift to the Saints, happy to shout you mud guts

[hujsh]

Cordy offered 3 years. Gets him to 29 at least which is a good career for a guy that tries hard but is obviously limited. Great result for him can't fault him

[EasternWest]

Also we'll also always have the knee of God.

[macca]

Zaine has played 107 games , does thst qualify for father and son ? Hopefully the genes do not skip his kids generation

[bulldogtragic]

Plus that huge tackle to kick the first in the GF.

Had a few clutch moments, and took them.

If he’s getting $300,000 it’s weird compo by the afel to give it to Carlton, ruling out compo for us. Or that we didn’t try to trade somehow, or maybe we couldn’t? Strange.
