List Mgmt. 2024 List Management Part 2 📃

I'm yet to see 'it' with Wilson. I'm also disappointed that he spent a year at half back when we were told he was recruited as a midfielder. Clearly drafted to add speed to the midfield and yet hasn't played there at the lower level. At face value it looks like a wasted year.

 

[Soapy V]

I'd throw Binns into that mix. Deserves a solid run at it. Can't all him to do much more and he's shown he can step up to the level.

Agree. Only issue is fitting him in on a wing with Acres Kemp Hollands Docherty all available

If he plays it must be as a FT wing

Injury and concussion and only played a handful of games

Plan is to move him into midfield eventually but starting at HB as that's where he has played juniors

He's a beauty

......do we dangle our first rounder for TDK's brother

Geelong need a earlier pick for Bailey Smith......do we dangle our first rounder for TDK's brother

I'd rather dangle it directly from Smith, but SDK wouldn't be a bad second choice. Not sure if he would be worth our first exactly. Maybe our first and their 3rd rounder next year back for some Cody Walker points.

Problem would be is that we won't have the salary cap for Smith but could probably fit in SDK and a bit of help for Weitering is required.

 

[AB_Blue]

Why would SDK want to leave Geelong and why would Geelong want to part with a multi-positional KPP

You can bet your bottom dollar that next year Geelong will be throwing huge coin at Tom

 

[Jatz]

Yeah I have zero idea why anyone thinks we'd be able to get SDK out of Geelong.

If anything, there salary cap is opening up. There'll be more money there, they (sadly) seem to be a better run club etc.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Apparently Smith isn't looking for a tonne of cash. Sounds like he's moving for a Cerra-esque amount, like 700k. We could definitely fit him in.

How can we fit him in when he's going to Geelong?

 

[Arr0w]

The whole selection by age is an interesting discussion. Sides at our level (top 8), aren't blooding or playing kids as a development standpoint, they are selected when ready and or if they add to the whole

• Binns isn't far off finding consistency
• Moir despite some thinking he would be delisted or doesn't have mental toughness is showing rapid growth, another preseason and he could be a regular
• Wilson has to find better levels before being considered
• Lord is a young Hewett type, not far away, but needs to work on some areas
• HOK, tipping he debuts next season

There is no set formula of what age brackets NEED to be, it just doesn't work that way

 

[TENACIOUS]

Looked overweight and really struggled when he came back from injury mid season. Motlop could be a star if he's fit. He's only 20 so has time. Injury ruined his season.

What star qualities, has he shown?

He’d need to find some pace and effort to be a star…

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

Would be surprised if Binns isn’t at least exploring his options and finding a home where he can get more opportunities.

If the Houston & Haynes interest is real then would also think players like Boyd, Young & Kemp might see the writing on the wall.

 

[checkpoints]

If Parker is available would we consider bringing him in to play as a high half-forward and provide guidance/direction to our forwards for a couple of years?

 

[BluStreak]

I get that the concensus is that Smith will end up at Geelong.
I still believe that Austin has to get in front of Smith and do his best to get him to Carlton.
That is Austin's job. He should be getting in front of any and everyone who can make our side better.

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

Could we offer them Pitto?

Geelong don’t often miss when they target a player, I am sure some salary cap room will be opened up through Baileys association with CottonOn..

In saying this if we put Judd, Crippa and Murphy in for t of him and talk about the opportunities that become available through the Carlton business network it will at least make him think.

The main issue might just be football related, I suspect Baz wants to play as an inside mid, we are stacked in this area already.

 

[Soapy V]

Look at sides like Geelong GWS Sydney Hawks and how they have "balanced" development with success.

They know it takes a list of 30 plus to win a flag. During the season they have blooded and given games to players so they have some experience and are ready. This can happen over a couple of years. Some have come on quicker and stayed in the side. Last year Pies flag side had 4 1st or 2nd year players and they debuted another 2.

We don't do that. Many of our younger players were picked out of neccessity

I said during the season we were 'banged up' and many players were struggling to get up each week. Yet, we kept playing them when we could have given a younger player a run.

Binns has been knocking down the door for 12 months, Lord showed a lot straight away and kept getting better

I was also surprised we didn't bring in another player in mid season when we had a spot and so many injured players

I go back to the last 2 weeks of the year. The way many stood up, the way we played and the energy it brought was better than anything we showed all year. Bringing in youth can bring a lot to any side

I just find it strange he didn’t nominate a club, everyone else has that still is playing in finals so I don’t buy that as an excuse at all.

Maybe he’d prefer Geelong or maybe he’s given the dogs a couple of clubs he’d prefer to play with.

Who the **** knows, but right now it’s not locked into the cats only imo

Dogs wanting a pick in the top 12 for Smith... Wonder if we could get involved with something like the following...

Carlton trade: pick 11 + 31 + F4 to Cats
Cats give back: pick 16 + F1

Carlton trade: blues F1 + Cats F1 to Tigers
Tigers give back: picks 12 + 17 (both depend on what they get for Bolton/ Baker)

Carlton
Out: picks 11 + 31 + F4
In: picks 12 + 16 + 17

Richmond
Out: picks 12 + 16
In: F1 (blues) + F1 (Cats)

Cats
Out: picks 16 + F1
In: Smith (pick 11) + pick 31 + F4

We could turn picks 16 + 17 in to Houston + pick 37 and would essentially make it:
Out: picks 11 + 31 + F4
In: Houston + picks 12 & 37

 

[Stamos]

The goals he kicked in the back half of last year, including the 2 in a massive final against Melbourne.

 

[RAPPA]

Voss is far too conservative with the line up he keeps churning out. We then end up with our young players languishing in the twos with no exposure to senior football.

So far he has put together 3 half seasons across the three years. We are not going to land some A grader in the off season that will cure our problems. The problems range from match day tactics, to personnel.

I would like to see more appearances from Lord, Moir and Binns next year, and the blooding of Wilson.

Our small forward contingent is a huge concern - don't hit the scoreboard, fail to apply pressure and go missing for large periods. We're pushing $hit uphill if our current contingent roll out the same performances next year.

If Kemp is going to be the third tall option up forward, then he needs to train in that role, and Young has to be persisted with - he was one of our better players in the EF, and given his age, it would be great long term if he and Weiters can form a solid back half partnership.

The rigid contest-laden game plan gets exposed against the speedier and high pressure teams. I have not seen the stats but feel that more often than not our pressure ratings were mid level.

KPD - speed - HFF and small forwards.

 

[Soapy V]

We tend to forget VERY quickly when players have a bad patch

Motlop has shown some real good glimpses
Cerra is a gun
Walsh is a star
Hewett is just a bull
Ollie showed a lot last year
Williams can really play

Yet people seem to right many of them off this year when simply having a bad run or playing injured

It's such a tough game these days I rekcon most struggle if not close to 100% fit

 

[RAPPA]

Will be interesting to see where JSOS fits into plans next year - will he play second ruck to TDK and Pitto misses out / will we play two rucks and JSOS is a permanent forward / will JSOS be trialled down back / will he be VFL depth.
