List Management 2015

Re: List Management 2015

I'm extremely concerned about Jackson's ability to tighten up his disposal, though when I have those thoughts I need to pull myself back and concede he's still extremely young and putting excellent numbers together and hope with added fitness he can rectify that issue.

Grant does his best work in close by hand with a little bit of outside work as a second link player. I don't see him changing to a clean and skilled outside player any time soon.

One player I'd be having a very close look at is Geelong's Kolodjashnij.

Out of contract at the end of the year and looked very comfortable against the Hawks forwards.

I wonder why he hasn't signed. Is he similar to Z.Cordy?

Both pretty athletic and similar size, height wise (193cm-194cm).

Kolo seems more suited to the bigger, one on one forwards.

Both will end up as genuine KP defenders.

Re: List Management 2015

He is a really good player. Good runner for his type as well.

With Morris, Murphy and Boyd all getting on, quality athletic defenders would certainly strengthen our depth.

Terrific option to explore.

Re: List Management 2015

He didn't seem to move like a 193cm footballer last night, much more mobile by the looks of things.

Strange that he hasn't signed.

Re: List Management 2015

I wonder if we are looking to top up on a couple of taller player if we would look to the likes of Mitch Brown or Jake Wilson from the VFL? Brown can play forward or back and Wilson is a defender.

Good choice indeed but I'd be staggered if he left Geelong. He was fantastic against us and as you say has continued on since.

Well, if you believe the rumours Geelong are in the box seat to get Danger, Henderson and Scott Selwood. Plenty of dough will be tied up in those 3, plus Motlop is asking for a packet.

If we dangle the right deal in front of him, we could be a chance.

Re: List Management 2015

Whatever happens in the final series, our ladder position at the end of this year will certainly help our bargaining situation.

Whatever happens in the final series, our ladder position at the end of this year will certainly help our bargaining situation. We really need a tall defender other than the current current options. Hope Fletch or Zaine step up.

Yep, hopefully some free agents are keen on winning. Also our first rounder becomes easier to play with. Pick 13-18 at this stage is in the range where a big trade or a downgrade for a good player is more realistic IMO. Every year is critical, but this off season period could be crucial to our sustained success at the elite level.

Re: List Management 2015

I'm not sure we need to be chasing much outside the group we have.

What Bevo has done is prove that the list has quality and depth. To build on that I would hope we look to keep adding young talent and utilising the trade to find opportunities for those who can't command regular games and looking for pick upgrades with those trades.

Having allowed players to show they can play, also makes it more likely that some will have interest to other clubs, where that may not have been the case previously.

We will need to be open minded when other clubs show interest and just look at options that suit where we are heading.

Most of all we need to allow Dalrymple to continue. His picks have been magnificent in the last 3 seasons.

I couldn't agree more. I am really worried about us getting involved in trading/bring outside players in. I don't want to upset what we have in place right now by bringing in any significant change. I feel sick at the thought of chasing Carlisle - who I think is just a player, has a potential ban hanging over his head (we already have Crameri to be concerned about losing) and would be coming out of an ordinary culture.

My only exception would be POSSIBLY in the ruck stocks. Even then, I'm really happy that we have found something in Campbell. I doubt Minson would or should play again - and Cordy is probably a similar story.

Stick to the draft & the rookie draft.

I also echo the thoughts of Bulldog Joe and the Doctor.
