List Mgmt. 2025 List Management discussion - part 2

[stavro#4]

I obviously saw something different than you. He was okay but I just don't see what he does that looks exceptional in any way. I think his best bet is to play as a third tall forward where he isn't exposed one on one. I accept that he's coming and I'll hope for the best but didn't think today was a good game from him. Hopefully he can take up Battle's old role.

In what world was “exceptional” the bar he had to vault here?

 

[jwikked]

Why?

I would've preferred the Doggies made the 8.

Why?

 

[billings2paddy]

He looks better on paper. Not a basher but he looked their weakest link in an exceptional defence.

Battle is more consistent than aleer

In what world was “exceptional” the bar he had to vault here?

I'm didn't think he looked very good is the subtext.

He lost alot of one on one's in a good system

I thought he was just ok as well.

I'll back the club in to get him to a standard like they did with Dawson. If he can free up Wilkie and Sincs 10% more, then that's the improvement we need

So did Sam Taylor.

Let’s unpack what we did see.

Impacted the play and intercepted.
Impacted contests.
Poor body work 1:1 (losing to Sharman)
Looks a safe kick

For 600k. I’m okay with that. That improves us.

 

[stavro#4]

I'm didn't think he looked very good is the subtext.

Thought he was better than Caminiti and plenty are happy to persist with him as a key back

 

[hangdog]

Tauru 3 kicks, 2 marks, -1 metres gained. We must be getting an upgrade.

Yawn.

Come on now, i know you're trying to make a point, but at least make the comparison a like for like

 

[hangdog]

Depends of his roll quite clearly, which I’ve asked about.

Where did he play and on who ?

Can confirm it was a spring roll

 

[hangdog]

Was there any follow up on what Cerra and Jiath were doing at the club the other week that I may have missed ?

I think they were just picking up the last of Battle's stuff from his locker.

 

[bird_man]

Today was definitely the best game I've seen Leek play all year.

He has been very ordinary for the rest of it though and was only solid today. Fingers crossed the money rumoured is false.

 

[BrutThough]

Trav will be quality, be patient.

Let's not forget how Dunstan started his career. Let's not forget Billings' 5 goal game against Dogs where Bont looked like the poorer option. I have no doubt Murphy Reid ends up a player, but still early days to cast comparisons.

Trav hasn't grown into his limbs yet. It's unusual for someone his height to have the baby giraffe syndrome but he has it when he runs. Once he puts some size on, he'll be fine.

Hammer kept Cadman goalless with just three marks

Sharman was much more influential on Aleer

How do you know it's 600k?

 

[Parkysp]

One of the things I love about Trav is his handballing. He hits them with purpose and hits a team mate in a better position on the outside. In a team that does a lot of loopy loopy loosey wristy it stands out.

 

[Yawkey way]

Battle is more consistent than aleer

Takes a lot of marks and gets quite a bit of the ball, he’s want to on his money.

Aleer hasn’t impressed me but let’s see how we use him, maybe he’s the new Cordy.

 

[Joffaboy]

How do you know it's 600k?

The same way you are sure, positive, indisputable, that TDK is on 1.8 and King is on 1 million.

 

[Joffaboy]

Takes a lot of marks and gets quite a bit of the ball, he’s wont to on his money.

Aleer hasn’t impressed me but let’s see how we use him, maybe he’s the new Cordy.

Ross will get the best out of him, and will free up Hammer to go to his rightful spot, up forward.

 

[billings2paddy]

Was there any follow up on what Cerra and Jiath were doing at the club the other week that I may have missed ?

I hope not

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Was there any follow up on what Cerra and Jiath were doing at the club the other week that I may have missed ?

It wasn’t Jiath

Jiath will not be coming either

 

[billings2paddy]

The same way you are sure, positive, indisputable, that TDK is on 1.8 and King is on 1 million.

Because of what's reported not just your opinion?

 

[BrutThough]

How do you know it's 600k?

Tim Watson mentioned it was 600k plus incentives the day after a phone call from the club when he claimed we were offering Harley Reid 25mill

He's got the raw ability and lots to work with. He's just going to take some time.

 

[Yawkey way]

Ross will get the best out of him, and will free up Hammer to go to his rightful spot, up forward.

If he kept Cadman in check maybe he’s in the right spot, but having choices is a good thing.
