List Management 2015

Re: List Management 2015

Excuse my ignorance, but why is Will Minson being kept out of our current side? If lack of mobility is an issue then surely he won't want to be playing in the VFL next season, no matter what Bevo says. Am I alone in doubting he will be with us next season?

Will has a contract for next season so I actually think he will still be with us in 2016. I'd be surprised that other teams would see him as a viable option for one season.

Someone will definately pick up Will if we are willing to release him. He would still have 2-3 years in him. clubs like Swans, Lions, Cats, Blues, Bombers could all use an experienced ruckman, maybe others. What we could get for him is arguable and I would suspect it would be a gracious trade in respect of his long service to us (ie late round pick).

Re: List Management 2015

Should we look at Stevie J?...we have an awesome forward line already but certainly could add some value and experience. Sure not what we need but hey if he is on the market and the price is right.....

Macca's not here anymore.

I would pass. love him as a player but we have quite a few mid sized forwards already. We have other areas of priority.

My only interest would be if we can't secure a genuine CHF type as I'm not sure about Boyd and Redpath. Boyd and Johnson for a year or two if we recruit a talented tall forward. Imagine Stringer on one side of the forward line and Johnson on the other. It would be a highlight real from game to game. But that is if he comes as a free agent on limited cash as a cherry on the top type trade rather than a prolonged battle for his services. As you say our efforts must be elsewhere.

Johnson is finished, he is slow, his mind tells him to do some trick, but his body won't respond.

A BIG NO from me.

How would Johnson go playing the 'men of mayhem' way?

Men of Mayhem is built on speed, and maybe this is why Luke likes to throw in youngsters at the sharp end of the season. Johnson is too slow now.

Re: List Management 2015

I think we have a few younger and better options to play Johnson's role. Let him go to Carlton for his retirement. Or Richmond. Or North. They are in the premiership window according to their supporters on the weekend. Bless.

Yep, I like our forward line being a furnace of pressure and repeat forward 50 entries and Johnson will not add to that at all - he will take away from this great strength of ours. We have enough pure attacking talent up there already.

Re: List Management 2015

Agreed on Johnson. Would only be to play Tory's role, and SJ wouldn't come here to play VFL.

If Tory isn't available, SJ only takes opportunity from a Webb or a Pearce. List clogger for us.

Great player though still with a year to offer. Someone will give him a shot, I reckon Richmond wouldn't be a bad fit.

Apparently Carlton are only offering him 2 yrs, he wants 4.

Re: List Management 2015

I think Stevie J could offer something to a few contenders but not for us. I still think he would be in our top 10-12 players individual talent wise but our system is about team pressure/defense. Having one just not buy into that means a break in our chain, his opponent becomes an easy out for the opposition.

Ruckman, its all about a ruckman.

If a line has been pout through big Wil - which it seems it has then we need an option all we are doing is destroying other players by playing serious minutes int he ruck.

Stefan Martin is a MUST.

Martin will be staying at the Lions. Leuenberger just hasn't got the form to inspire me especially with the money being mentioned.
Perhaps Bevo will demand Tom Boyd gets very fit and use him more as the first ruck.
