List Mgmt. Bringing them home! - Updated 14/Jun/2018

[Taylor]

2008, 2007 and 2006 added now that the 2006 and 2007 class are hitting free agency.

I don't know if I will add 2005, there has to be a point where we consider them too far gone.

On a side note... rough year for WA delistings.

 

[Apenesslike]

Looks like the day of the specialist defensive or forward pocket is numbered under the current interchange rules. Teams look to be shaping their lists to maximise the onfield rotations. Midfielders across every line.

A lot of the delisted players were useful role players however a liability under the new interchange rules.

Broughton could come under consideration as he is a defensive midfielder, but age and explosive speed are not in his favour.

 

[Taylor]

Joel Hamling (2011 Pick #32) 195cm/87kg - Key Defender WESTERN BULLDOGS - Until 2015? (here)(here)(here)

Signed to the Dogs.

If I don't know the contract length I'll put them into the next year and see what pops up over the season.

 

[stax on the mull]

Not a high profile ex-pat, but Harrison Marsh (Sydney Swans) is contracted for 2015. From the details of this player review article/interview on the Sydney Swans AFL site.

The All Australian selectors aren't a bunch of clowns after all.

This year anyway...

David Ellard (2007 Rookie Pick #34) 177cm/80kg - MID/FWD CARLTON - Until 2015 (here) (here)

Signed for one year.

 

[Taylor]

Kane Lucas (2009 Pick #12) 188cm/85kg - MID CARLTON - DELISTED 2014 (here)

Drafted by West Coast.
Removed from the list.

Also in this mornings function Ross made it very clear that they're targeting FA's, he says enticing Victorians over is a very difficult thing to do. So they're strategy moving forward will be to target WA boys and get them back over here.

Reading between the lines I reckon Freo have their eyes firmly fixed on Rance.

I agree. We could get Rance at the end of next season and then Hooker at the end of the season after.

Not a free agent so much - but also, Coniglio.

 

[Kram]

Just lol at West Coast getting Lucas.

What was he even doing on the list?! Cale Morton 2.0

 

[Wizard]

Just lol at West Coast getting Lucas.

I wouldn't have been upset if we had taken him tbh.

 

[Agenfrida]

I wouldn't have been upset if wechad taken him tbh

I would. He's a grade A spud.

 

[Wizard]

I would. He's a grade A spud.

Got to disagree personally, clearly he hasn't proven himself as an AFL player yet. Theres no argument there.

His debut season looked really good, he ran the lines well and his skills looked pretty good. After that he barely got on the park for the best part of 2 years before having what looked like a breakout season in 2013, then once again getting struck down by injury.
He is yet to have a full run at a pre-season and into a season without suffering some issues. I think hes a good player and will be a solid contributor if/when he gets his body sorted for an extended stretch.

Time will tell, I guess. I don't watch a great deal of Carltank games, but I've seen Lucas play a dozen or so times. Never really impressed me. He might surprise and turn into a player though.

Becuase of where he was drafted i hope he doesn't.

Any idea if Rance's mum and dad live in WA?

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Pretty sure they are WA. I'm remember some interview a few years back a journalist interviewing him before a game talking about Rance changing from a Pav lover to a Pav lova. Cringe worthy.

Signed for 2 more years.

 

[free at last]

So cotchin has been locked away until 2020.Now the RFC's priorities will shift to Rance.

Rance is surely going to be targeted by bondy and Lloyd in 2015...
