List Management 2015

Re: List Management 2015

Sydney can't do that - I checked with Swans fans. $350k limit includes any top ups by the previous club.

That's DR. Scratch that plan then.

Surely Minson can take a new contract at $350K with the Swans over 2 seasons (or 3) much like Lake did at Hawthorn.

We could also payout his contract shortfall under out cap from 2015.

Hadn't thought of that. That would have to fire up AFL house who are just itching for a reason to strike back after Colless claims about this rule. We'd have to be prepared to annoy the bosses I guess.

I think the AFL will lift the trade ban.

But secondly why would Sydney want Minson? Tippet and Pyke seem to have found the balance.

Re: List Management 2015

I'm undecided if a very good, mobile ruck is a priority, or if we need to bolster our defence.

The only time we really struggle in the ruck is against the absolute elite - so a handful of times a year - but these are the teams we'll be playing at the pointy end.

Really wish at least one of Talia, Roberts & Cordy can stand up as the gun key defender we desperately need.

We just need to get smarter and disciplined (and with age - stronger) around the stoppages as we showed with some improvement last weekend against Goldstein, where we tempered his potential dominance. What is attractive with Kreuzer is he is a very smart footballer around the stoppages, who works very hard for his midfield, which would cause our opposition no end of concern when adding Bont, Libba, Wallis etc to the mix. And aside from his tap work you get to add another elite midfielder type to our stoppages given his style. It would be a super get IF it could be achieved but my gut is telling me he will re-sign with Carlton.

Re: List Management 2015

I was told the opposite that he is looking for money and that he understands that he is unlikely to be part of a successful side at the Blues. He will be leaving the Blues I reckon.

Not how I hear it at all. Apparently a year or 2 ago, GWS offered him $400k a year more than Carlton but he stuck. One of the reasons they love him there.

Jack Redden has walked out on Brisbane. There's zero chance he won't end up at Port or Adelaide but what do we think of having a crack? Think we have more pressing needs.

Yep, this. He has already shown massive loyalty to Carlton, and if they can score pick 3 they would have no qualms about him leaving now to go elsewhere.

Re: List Management 2015

Anyone think Brisbane seem a bit like us at the end of last year? Lots of rumours and the whole place is about to blow up....

Time to get in their players ears...

Agreed Sedat. Damian Barrett reckons Carlton have put an offer to Kruezer they know he can't accept (main sticking point, years) and that Dogs are leading candidates to get him.

Brisbane are very well stocked for decent young KPDs. Hmmmm...........

Daniel McStay is BFF with Tom Boyd and have been since young kids. Reunite them I say.

It seems to blow up at Bris Vegas at the end of each season.

Re: List Management 2015

one reason I have no problems with interstate teams having their own development. Remove the go home factor.
