2024 List Management Thread

Re: 2024 List Management Thread

I hope not. I'd rather play someone on our list who has earned their spot rather than someone who's going to clog up another spot on our list. We have enough of those types already.

We can pick up 19yo kids that were overlooked. We were looking Gallagher at the MSD before we used a third rounder at the ND on him. I’d use Pick 5 in the MSD on a kid burning up his comp as a free hit to bring in more talented kids. But not a recycled type I agree.

Was Cleary an over ager? I swear we took another one recently before the Gallagher draft. Lachie Young was as well IIRC

Sorry but my level of confidence in doing this is at an all time low. I see the next Bramble, Scott, Baker, McComb taking a spot and I don't want no part of that.

Not sure on Cleary. VDM was an overager too. We should give our draft guys some more opportunities considering they look to have nailed Freijah & Gallagher in the pick 40’s. Time to let them have a MSD Pick on a kid now.

100%. If we do that, I’m not on board. But I have to believe our draft guys are showing they can nail top picks and later picks. Time to give them a good MSD Pick.

You're talking me around but if we draft another one of these retread guys I'm coming for you. Deal?

How about, if they go for a retread we join forces and take pitch forks to WO together? I’m with you.

Trent Bianco does nothing for us going ahead. We need more kids in to start finding some good young players. With the amount of debutants this year, I’m wishful thinking someone at the club sees kids as more important to our future than Bakers, Poulters etc. The fact we ID Gallagher for a MSD Pick tells me our draft guys can spot kids for the MSD. Then we went the retread and spent an ok pick on him. So let’s go get a kid and if it fails that’s a failure I can live with.

Re: 2024 List Management Thread

Well now that you mention it Bianco is the first one that comes to mind.

Yep. Some posters ask about how good Milesi is. We don’t really know for sure. But he nails the top picks and has got a RS nomination from a Pick 40 odd this year (Gallagher) and a debut this week in the same draft range (Freijah). I’d say our next premiership will more likely come by giving Dom and his team more opportunity to succeed (like 5 picks last year) so to me we simply must back them in with good MSD Pick. Some rookie draft picks would be nice for them too.

Vandermeer was an overager when we drafted him wasn't he? Ie 19 when we drafted him. I think the same with English.
Lachie Young was a 19yo as well albeit a rookie pick

Re: 2024 List Management Thread

Does an expedited call on Libba's prognosis prompt us to grab an extra warm body via the MSD?

Who naturally debuts immediately, as is the way.

Not sure that makes a great deal of sense? The MSD gives us a free hit to replace guys on the LTI list and they are only given a 6 month contract to begin with if I recall correctly? We'd be crazy not to look at a couple of players who fit areas of need and see how they develop over that time. We could potentially find ourselves a late bloomer ala Picko or Moz.

It's whether we keep them on the list long term if they don't show something that's the worry. Our list management team absolutely shouldn't be holding onto list clogger players, however that doesn't mean we shouldn't pick at all just because we haven't nailed it at 100% success rate before. That's just cutting off one's nose to spite one's face

I prefer BT's view ie, see if there are any 19 year olds that were missed in the draft and top up with some young future prospects. There are some gems out there, just have to find them.

I believe the players can nominate their contract terms - eg 6 months or 18 months. So a player with multiple clubs interested might nominate an 18 month minimum term.

Re: 2024 List Management Thread

So we now have two spare spots, possibly three with Libba.

What types of players do we target with say three spots?
