    We Got the Power

    Sam is on his way to being one of the best List Managers in the AFL in my opinion. I'm sure he will one day go past that position to higher office.

    Here is his latest take on our recruiting strategy for 2019



    It's a big next 2 years in terms of list management. Let's hope he nails it.

    We have a good recruiting team and I'm confident we will continue to make the right decisions

    We are well placed now and in the short term future with our playing list as long as we remain proactive.

      He's been outstanding from pretty much day one. I look forward to seeing what he can do with this trade period.

        This seems a weak draft he will have his work cut out for him

          This is where he will show his true skill , at reading on what is offer to trade;
          1. Trade in for needs from other clubs ,,sniff out who is available : Keith & Bruce
          2. Trade out draft picks for them or trade up into draft order
          3. Exchange / trade for future
          4. Juggle f/s factor
          5. Work out the maths for draft points ( which is beyond my simplistic view of draft order)

          Go get them sam

          Oh and sadly dealing with characters like dodo....

            I thought this thread was named after me for a minute.

            Anyhoo, Sam is a distant relative, so I'm claiming it.

                Really interesting view Doc. Personally I’ve been so impressed w Power from his ability to do a press conference and say nothing (deliberately) for 10 minutes to the complex list management he is able to grapple.

                Very impressed with what I’ve seen so far.

                  How do you rate him now:

                  Marcus Adams: Picks 32 & 51 (out)
                  Josh Bruce: Picks 32 & 51 (in)

                  That’s enough for a statue.

                      Only 'great'. One bloke thinks about playing and gets injured. The other kicks 36-50 goals a year and 5th best contested mark in the comp. To get effectivly a straight swap is a level of competence we've not been blessed with in a list manager. I'll go with '*!*!*!*!ing great'.

                        I'm gonna wait until I get confirmation he hasn't bricked this Keath deal before commissioning an artist personally.

                          Ye of little faith...

                          But Keath trading in underscores how good Sam Power is at this caper.

                            Quite contented that we gave a bit more than ideal to get the Keath deal done because we owed it to the player to get it done
                            He committed to us early and the onus was on us to get it done

                              Wow, so this is what it feels like to have a fab list manager. I could get used to this.
