Maybe they didn't expect McNeil to be available? So long as they tempered MacPherson's expectations and were clear on the scenario I don't have a problem with it. Hard to get outraged when we have so little information.

It's not free in terms of $$$ though. If we genuinely don't think he will make it I guess there is no point adding him to the list. We will probably never know the answer though.

We can then add up to 2 Cat B rookies. We already have Buku, leaving one Cat B spare, probably an opportunity for Raak but unsure what the Cat B deadline is.
You nailed it! You should start a thread on this subject.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
I'm hoping that the AFEL allows any and all overlooked FS & NGA for all clubs another year with Priority Access status. If that's the case, as it makes sense for the kids and clubs, then we'd have a year to look at them with a season of footy.

Even if we thought he was a long shot, a 190+ athletic defender seems like a worthwhile type to take a flier on.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
I have doubts about whether Gardner ,Cavarra and Hayes will ever add much to our team. Hannan is touted as the panacea to our small/medium forward issue but he will have to 1. get a game and 2. perform to the level everyone expects of him. We still badly lack a KPD, that is our achilles heel in 2021.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
Are we able to place both Raak and McPherson on the Cat B or do we only have space for just one more player ?
Could another possibility be to train with us and play at Footscray then be picked up in the mid-season draft ?

Not sure where this is coming from. Hannan is a depth player at best. He will be in and out of the 22 during the course of the year.
Hopefully one of our small to medium forwards becomes a consistent performer. I still have hopes that is Dale but he needs to be hungrier and get himself involved more.

We like Wood, Crozier and Williams to play tall and run off their man
That being the case I don't think Keath & Cordy leaves us short, if they're injured Naughton could go back
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
Western Bulldogs midfielder Toby McLean is expected to on the club’s long-term injury list for 2021.
Busts in silhouette It means that the McLean can be replaced on the senior list through either the Pre-Season Supplemental Selection Period or the Mid-Season Draft
I wonder if we will look for a Key Defender?

Re: List Management for 2020/21
For Buku to play, he’d need a LTI to get onto the Cat A list at a minimum.
