List Management 2015

Re: List Management 2015

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 don't feel that we need to be too black and white about it especially where elite level talent presents itself and I'm not including Carlisle in that.

I'd make an exception to look at it if Dangerfield (or another elite free agent) declared that he wanted to come to us.

We're going to start to look an attractive proposition pretty quick.

Re: List Management 2015

If we were worried about bringing outside players in, we'd have no Crameri, Hamling, Roberts, Dickson, Biggs, Stevens, Boyd or Darley.

At the end of this year a handful of players will leave our list and a handful will enter.

Most of the additions will be kids, but 1 or 2 experienced, best 22 now types can only benefit us.

I have faith in our culture and our recruiters. The idea that an individual or 2 will come in and infect everything is fanciful for mine.

BBB - Bring Back Brian?

Anyone think this is a good idea?

I actually don't but here's the case for it being a good idea - sounds like he won't get another year at Hawks, someone to tackle the gorillas as mentioned in other threads, Bevo would've coached him at the Hawks so would know whats coming, feel good story (? maybe), cheap as chips, he won't need directions to find the Whitten Oval, grand final experience, my Dad will be able to yell "Brian" at the top of his voice and smash the seat in front of him once a game which will annoy the hell out of my Uncle Brian who will be sitting next to Dad..... umm can't think of any other reasons.

Seriously main reason would be tackle the gorillas while Roberts, Tallia, Hamling, Roughhead etc continue to mature. Anyone?

Don't know about Bryza but one C. Ward would be bloody handy for where we are at now.

Poor tonight and a classic Brian moment or two.

This sounds a much better idea.

The only thing that worries me is that one of the rich clubs poach our recruitment staff.

This is easily my main concern.

I don't really have an opinion on who we should or shouldn't trade for. I also think we might be surprised with what we get anyway given Bevo will be involved to some degree and he has largely been not so predictable with how he sees a team line up.

Re: List Management 2015

This will be the first time he gets a say on our trades and picks so looking forward to it.

Re: List Management 2015

It is human nature for us to throw up names of established players that we know well, but our recruiters have shown a canny ability to spend stuff all and find hidden gems in other lists.

Reading the various media and trade gossip, there are some desperate teams out there and some silly deals are going to go down. I would be perfectly comfortable with a couple more Biggs/Hamling/Dickson types, rather than blowing high draft picks on a Sherman/Djekurra/Akermanis type under the giddy thrall of the premiership window.

Gonna be a fun trade week though, can't wait to see what we come up with.
