I just don't know if Logue is good enough but he's played some solid football this year and as you point out he is athletic. Given we haven't contacted his manager I'd suspect that rules us out as an interested party but things might change.
He's also been used as a defensive type forward in recent weeks.

Just on his manager I'm not sure Young is the most reputable guy going around.

Which ones are reputable?
Player managers are really gross people.

Re: List Managment thread (For 2022)
I do wonder at the names of a "forward who can go back'
Weideman? Can't get a look in to Melbourne's struggling forwardline even with McDonald out
Someone from Adelaide?

Unpopular opinion - if we miss other targets, I'd take Josh Walker on our list. Release Keath to play more intercept, Gardner and TOB to battle for the third spot.

The answer is Naughton.
Honestly I think it was a throw away line - the most likely one was McStay.

You don't take a once in a generation FF like Naughton and let them rot in the backline.

Bit rough. I know a guy who is low level, involved with a handful of younger draftees and he is one of the best blokes you could ever meet.

FOOTSCRAY SET TO UNEARTH ANOTHER VFL GEM?
THE NAB AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft may be done for another year and the national and rookie drafts may be months away, but two Victorian clubs are keeping a keen eye on Footscray captain Lachie Sullivan.
The 24-year-old has been a dominant force in the VFL this season, averaging 26.3 disposals, 5.6 tackles and 98 ranking points from 12 games, after finishing fourth in the best and fairest in 2021.
Sullivan has polled the sixth-most votes in the VFL Coaches Award with 47 on the board. The five players ahead of him – Jacob Dawson, Rhys Mathieson, Boyd Woodcock, Paddy Dow and Luke Dunstan – are all currently on or have been on an AFL list, with the next two on Sydney's list.
AFL.com.au understands one club enquired about Sullivan ahead of the mid-season rookie draft but weren't able to proceed because he was ineligible after not nominating for last year's NAB AFL Draft.
Sullivan's manager, Cam Read from Inside 50, attempted to get an exemption at the last minute after learning of that club's interest through, but the 180cm midfielder was knocked back by the AFL after missing the deadline.
Footscray has been a breeding ground for talent in recent years with Anthony Scott, Will Hayes, Ryan Gardner, Cody Raak and Robbie McComb all graduating to the Western Bulldogs, while Jordan Boyd (Carlton) and Mitch Hannan (Melbourne) landed AFL opportunities after starting in the VFL program at the Whitten Oval. Could Sullivan be next? – Josh Gabelich

Re: List Managment thread (For 2022)
At Rocket's luncheon yesterday he mentioned the one thing he would change would be not to hang on to players longer than you should. He admired the way Clarko turned over players, even if they were long serving players like Lewis, Mitchell, Hodge. This is something the Hawks have always done, even before Clarko.
We need Bevo to do the same and really think which players are the ones we should keep, and who should finally be delisted/traded away in order to get the best team on the park. It's great to be loyal, or hope they come good, but eventually we need to turn the list over.
PS: No more Footscray VFL players - I don't want Sullivan.

Rocket seemed to have a lot of faith in marginal players and the likes of Mulligan were probably on the list 2 years longer than he should have been.
Regarding Clarko I went to presentation he gave to Accenture years ago where he talked about the recruiting of Buddy and Roughy but one of the main points he also shared was the reasons why he let Peter Everitt go even though he considered him one of the most talented players.
They were working on a midfield drill and Spida was the centerpiece of the drill but despite the fact that Everitt mastered it early on it wasn't clicking for the midfielders. Everitt started moaning to Clarko that it was the midfielders problem to resolve but Clarko needed Everitt to solider on. It was after this drill that he knew Everitt wasn't the sort of club man he wanted and he was gone at the end of the season.
You don't necessarily have to be ruthless but if players aren't meeting the standards then it needs to be addressed.
