List Management 2015

Re: List Management 2015

Amazing how many top draft picks are moving after only a few years on the list and for chump change lets be honest. It looks like Menzel is next, what is does show is how important it is nailing your first pick. We have had our share of shockers over the years but finally we have got it right. More than right in Bont,Stringer and Macrae ))))))))))))))))))

Early, but last year's first two picks (McLean and Webb) look like long term players to me too

I'd take Mclean over Aish Toumpas Freeman and co everyday of the week.

Every touch is quality with MacLean.

I'm ready for this trade period to end. its served its purpose, i.e. to help me detox from the footy season, and now I just want it to finish without us doing anything stupid (and it doesn't seem like we will).

Re: List Management 2015

Imagine how much better 8, 9 and 10 would have gone if we had of nailed a couple more of the first rounders/early picks we had in the drafts leading up to those years.

If we only knew how to draft back then.
Who kows what might of happened.

Re: List Management 2015

Back to list management, we've been patient during this trade period but if we are to get involved in a trade for a player or something with draft picks then today should be the day it becomes a bit more evident. I just think there is something brewing but it might not be a big name player.

I am not too fussed if we trade for a player or not. I think we are managing our list very well, and perhaps we could pick up some mature aged rookies (Ruck and CHB) that can step in if we need them during the year.

Re: List Management 2015

According to latest trade news from The Age we have made a firm enquiry for Lobbe but he may have already knocked us back.

We might pick up one of the mature CHB VFL agers at the draft anyway (Cogs, Hartley, Brown)

Glad we missed out on Lobbe

I'd hope we are focused on that, we just need to add some depth,

Re: List Management 2015

There has been lots of discussion on various threads about players we should be targeting etc.

There is also discussion around the retaining of Grant, but we do seem somewhat tied in that we do not have the spots to bring in players.

Currently we have delisted 3 senior list in Cordy, Darley and Fuller and added Suckling. That means we have 2 spots available and the certain departure of Talia makes 3.

We are required to go to the draft with 3 available spots.

We cannot bring in another player by trading unless we actually trade someone out.
Obviously Jarrad Grant is in limbo and will be the player to depart if we do add someone else, without another departure.

List management is a balancing act.

Re: List Management 2015

That is the reason why we didn't give Grant a contract though. He is providing the option to potentially trade in a player assuming Talia won't be with us.
