List Management 2015

Re: List Management 2015

The ability to go over 100% of TPP if previous years were under only recently came in, along with the ability to trade future picks (pretty much on the same day).

These changes should add spice to an already very active trade week.

Re: List Management 2015

yeah they're not happy with the idea of him leaving!

Sounds like it's all upside then

WESTERN BULLDOGS

What they need


THE Bulldogs must be careful as they approach the trade table this season.


While they have undoubtedly enjoyed a fantastic year, they must not get carried away when evaluating their list and target their premiership window too early.


In saying that, the Dogs would love to add a couple of talls to their team. A key position player would give Tom Boyd much needed support as he continues to develop, while a quality ruckman is a must.


The Dogs would take another blue-chip midfielder if he became available, but you can’t see them going out of their way to secure him.


Who is available?


THIS trade period looks one where a host of ruckmen will be available.


Matthew Leuenberger and Stefan Martin have both signalled their intentions to leave Brisbane, while former No. 1 draft pick Matthew Kreuzer is yet to re-sign at Carlton. They may face stiff competition for Gold Coast’s Zac Smith, but he is also worth a punt.


As for key position players, the Dogs are unlikely to target Jake Carlisle. However, that’s not to say they won’t try their luck for a key forward.


Could they lure Adelaide’s Tom Lynch amid a host of Victorian offers? It might also be worth trying an ambitious play for Sydney’s Sam Reid.


Otherwise, GWS could be a gold mine for the Dogs. Fringe players like Andrew Phillips, Lachie Plowman and Adam Tomlinson would be well worth the effort.

Re: List Management 2015

I don't agree with much of that article. I think key defence and ruck are greater areas of need than a key forward. Boyd and Redpath should both continue to develop and we seem reluctant to play them both in the same side anyway.

Tom Lynch is a good player for Adelaide but with Stringer and Crameri I'm not sure why we would be interested in adding another third tall type.

Of course we would take a quality midfielder if the opportunity presented itself - what team wouldn't?

Plowman or Tomlinson would certainly be interesting propositions if available.

Re: List Management 2015

If we don't land a Carlisle or Henderson would we consider bolstering our key defensive position stocks with Michael Hartley?

At 22 years of age and 198cm and 102kg he's the right size to play on the forward gorillas.

Has anybody seen him play at Coburg?

The Ex-Pie who could be thrown an AFL lifeline

WITH KEY defenders in high demand and short supply, former Collingwood rookie Michael Hartley could get a second chance in the AFL later this year.

Hartley spent 2012-13 on Collingwood's rookie list, but after playing in four NAB Cup games at the end of his first pre-season with the Magpies two serious shoulder injuries limited him to five VFL games over the next two years.

Since being delisted by Collingwood, Hartley has put his injury problems behind him and produced two outstanding seasons with Coburg in the VFL.

Agree. Key defender, ruck and mids are order of the day. A FA ruck should be easy enough. Those GWS boys would be great and then it's trying to get a KPD. Lynch and Reid are weird names to through up.

It's just the same old lazy rubbish they throw out every year for the Bulldogs. They need a key forward.

Lynch is kind of tall and plays forward, he'll do. Maybe some other fringe tall too, Reid had a Dad or something didn't he. Then throw in a couple of tallish young players at an expansion club that have struggled to play seniors and you have an article. This despite our midsized forwards being the best in the league, and Reid showing less than Redpath who we're already playing.

We get a recruit called Tom Liberatore next year. He's a gun.

Re: List Management 2015

Heard talk today that Jason McCartney may be heading to GWS. Likely replacement is StKilda's Chris Pelchen.

Anyone else heard this?

Source please, I refuse to consider this without one. I rate Macca and detest Pelchen.

See Late Mail Live on AFL website. Entry at 4.44pm.

Apparently, Pelchen was at WO this morning, meeting with Dalrymple.

I'd rather have no one than Pelchan. No one at all.

From here

Former Hawthorn and St Kilda list manager Chris Pelchen was spotted at Whitten Oval on Friday morning deep in conversation with Bulldogs recruiting manager Simon Dalrymple.With speculation mounting that Dogs list manager Jason McCartney could be headed to GWS to replace Stephen Silvagni, is Pelchen in the frame to replace McCartney and inherit one of the AFL's most exciting lists?

I've been more complete major trades than Pelchan. I volunteer myself to the club for the role.

Oh, and F*** GWS and GCS.
