List Management 2015

Re: List Management 2015

We're also mentioned for Henderson

Lachie Henderson, Carlton, out of contract
Carlton remains hopeful of retaining Henderson, but Geelong and the Western Bulldogs have made big plays for the 25-year-old swingman. Like Dangerfield, it is understood Henderson will either re-sign or move to Simonds Stadium. The Cats appear slight favourites to get their man, who could command up to $600,000 a season.

When are these players going to realise that Geelong / Carlton is rear view mirror looking, with us soon to make the big Sepetmber play . Guys get on while you can.

Re: List Management 2015

Interesting listening to Jason McCartney at the East West annual dinner last night where he once again explained the clubs approach to drafting over recent years.

1. The club needed to inject as much new talent as possible so simply draft the best players available.
2. Don't strech for players for positional needs unless there is marginal difference between the players being considered.
3. Use trading and free agency to target positional needs.

This explains last year's draft where we appeared to draft similar players both in terms of this draft group as well as the players we already have on our list. We simply drafted the players we rated the highest.

He also expressed surprise that so many of last year's draft group have played this year and made strong contributions. Seems that any of them playing seniors this season was considered a bonus.

Should that be use trade and free agency to target positional needs?

Whoops. Missed that one. Funny I've never heard us linked to Henderson before. Wonder if this means we aren't really after Carlisle or we are just having a crack at both in the hope to get one of them?

Maybe we just put an offer on the table to make sure opposition clubs must pay top odds.

As mentioned previously Jason Mac was at the Hawks V CARTON game last week. Might have had Hendo in his sights

Because Geelong know how to look after their players ($) with under the table deals. At least, that's what I heard while living in Geelong.

Aidan Corr has re-signed with GWS. I know GVGjr was keen on him.

Ive moved on to Plowman. Good attacking defender who would thrive under Luke Beveridge.

He was an early draft pick back 2012, what do you think we would have to give up for him and what role do you see him playing?

Would he be competing with Wood, Z.Cordy and to a lesser degree Webb?

Personally I think we still need another key position size player 195cm plus and 95kg plus rather than someone his size.

Re: List Management 2015

I still think our biggest need is a midefileder who is quick, highly skilled (both sides) who is a goal kicker.

Then a key position defender (195cm plus, 95kg plus) who can play on the players like Tom Hawkins, J.Roughead etc.

Then a ruckman.

Certainly will be an interesting off season at the trade table and draft table.

Re: List Management 2015

I want us to target some raw pace. Thought Garlett was worth chasing last year, gee Melbourne got him cheap.

I don't think it matters too much for Beveridge coached team. Plowman is 193cm, tough and attacks the game which are the traits I think we would look favourably towards. Out of Talia, Roughead, Roberts and Hamling I think Plowman could be the best of our tall defenders and I think he would slot in nicely as a CHB.
They would want our first round pick.

The quick fix is Carlisle or maybe Henderson who's names we have been linked to but I think we need to look a bit deeper.

I don't like having two drafts in a row without a first round pick but I suspect we could be keen to use it to acquire a good player who has been in the system a few years.

Re: List Management 2015

If we are really into Carlisle we need to have a serious rethink. I'd question his spirit on what I have seen today.
