    List Mgmt. 2017 Draft Discussion (cont in Pt 2)

    Any athletic testing available for D Fog? How does he rate for speed & endurance? Looks like a great power athlete but how much work is he going to need to do on his tank to get up to AFL standard? If there's nothing major wrong there will be hard to go past him at 8.

    List Mgmt. 2017 Draft Discussion (cont in Pt 2)

    Take 2 of Rayner, Dow, LDU, Cerra, Brayshaw, Coffield of Stephenson if there. We are guaranteed at least 1 of these and will likely have 2 available. Ideally one of those two is Cerra/Brayshaw in which case I'm not worried about taking a Coffield/Stephenson as a utility type with the other...

    Jack Higgins debate has me wondering if there's a similar player type available for our later picks. What are people's thoughts on Brent Daniels as a moneyball midget for p45? Speed, agility & touch needed for a small fwd and seems to know how to find it too. Knock seems to be that he...

    I reckon we bring Lamb in to play as a winger.

    2017 Trade & FA Targets - The Last Supper #Ameetos

    I like the look of some of the kids expected to go late 1st/early 2nd. Murphy, Petruccelle, OBrien, Moore could all add that something different to our list. Would prefer to turn Hickey into a 2nd rather than trade down on 8 though. Think we can get 2 guns for 7 & 8.

    That's OK. We need list spots for all our FA signings

    2017 Trade & FA Targets - The Last Supper #Ameetos

    Getting late in the piece now so I want to see us do some housekeeping and get smart about re-positioning our lower picks to 2018. Points mean nothing this year because there are very few f/s or academy stars. It won't be the same next year. We should be pushing our 3rd & 4th round picks into...

    2017 Trade & FA Targets - The Last Supper #Ameetos

    Change it up a bit on this selecting a destination club issue. If at the end of a contract the player & club can't get a deal done with the club of choice then let the go to the draft (ND only - no PSD option). If they are picked in the draft the club they are leaving gets the next draft...

    2017 Trade & FA Targets - The Last Supper #Ameetos

    Resign Paddy on a long term deal - give him 4 years. Front load the contract to buggery and fill up the 2018 cap. Only risk is with concussions not talent, workrate or loyalty so worst case scenario he retires early and we have only a small amount of cap taken up for last couple of years. All...

    2017 Trade & FA Targets - The Last Supper #Ameetos

    Our priority now should be to upgrade our later picks (43, 57 & 61) into either a pick in the 20s this year or a future 2nd. As they stand now the low picks have basically no value to us. Anything below 40 and I'd be using 7&8 in the draft + a rookie upgrade only. With limited list spots and a...

    List Mgmt. 2015 Trade, Draft, Rookie Draft and FA Megathread

    His ability to break out of a pack with the ball with pure strength in some of the Sandy games was a level above the other guys. It just didn't happen often enough. If he can work on the speed over the first few steps when escaping so he can really nail his kicks and he can just get himself...

    As stated in the post I agree with you that in Jack's case his value to the team will be higher than his trade market value. With the number of half backs we have surely in the next year or two there will be at least one that has more value to someone else than to us.

    List Mgmt. 2015 Trade, Draft, Rookie Draft and FA Megathread

    I don't know why consideration for trade is seen as having a crack at the player. There are a few untouchables on every list (and not always the best players), but after that each player should be assessed in terms of what value they add to the team v their trade value on the open market. Team...

    List Mgmt. 2015 Trade, Draft, Rookie Draft and FA Megathread

    Ruck depth is an area I think we can start to change our strategy on as we get closer to the top. Rucks are generally able to generate more value at the trade table, particularly developing rucks likely to be able to take the No.1 ruck role. I think taking 4 developing rucks is OK during our...

    List Mgmt. 2015 Trade, Draft, Rookie Draft and FA Megathread

    We have to be careful not to be so intent on keeping best 22 players that we miss out on getting genuine star quality in. In trades we need to be willing to let something go to improve the top end of the list. The McEvoy trade was a great example of this. So many of the best 22 or even u23...
