2023 List Management Thread

Re: 2023 List Management Thread

"flexible" , could there be some live trading ?

Sam wants to keep the first pick, and potential second rnd pick or another 2nd round pick in this year's draft.

Was going to say Sam's pretty flexible.

Asked about Lohman said he wouldn't comment on individuals but looking for pace and covering the ground as well as intercept ability down back. So Lohman/Doedee rumours matching that.

That'd probably fit Liam Henry as well.

I think our needs have changed a little bit and we were desperately lacking grunt on the inside against the Hawks and GWS in particular, so I'd hope we are looking for a contested, centre-square on-baller through the draft as well.

He mentioned having an eye to the future with regards to having players come in as our mid brigade ages (more in the context of the draft) but also mentioned earlier that the priorities established at the start of the year hadn't really changed (more in the context of trade discussions)

I'd love to know how he plans to keep our first pick and not have it go towards a bid on Croft.

Powers comment that we will take between 2 and 4 picks isn't that inspiring.
Way too conservative with list spots.

It's only going to be good if we land a top 5 pick. Otherwise yes, it means we'll hardly refresh the list.

With the picks we have, can't expect more than that

Agree but if we get 2-3 top end picks and a trade or two in I'll live with it assuming we're matching a Croft bid

We certainly should be expecting more. We are flexible with a number of scenario's.

Whats the problem with picking from later in the draft? Power mentioned that the draft list is strong early (we like it) and then evens out after that (the depth is pretty good).
We also held our ground that we wanted a 4th rounder in the Dunkley trade and the indication is that we may not use it now.

We took just 3 picks at the National Draft last year and it looks like we might do something similar again this year.
If the depth of the list isn't that great and we missed finals surely we need to be a bit more darting than that?

Yeah, but he's flexible so maybe 4 could stretch to 6 and maybe we'll do 2 or 3 trades.

I guess we've brought on Poulter and JOD as young players outside of the ND too.

Lets see if we can move up the order but if we land Croft and just 2 others from the draft it's another strong indicator that we are rating the list that we have.

Well what I am saying is the late picks are hit and miss as we have seen the last few years when we didn't have the early picks.

We either have to trade players for picks or swap first rounders for multiple 2nd

Not true at all - players available may not be as good as the ones you have on the list

You've also said that this year we didn't have depth so shouldn't we be looking to take some chances given Power mentioned that he liked the depth of the draft?

2 is an interesting low water mark isn't it.
