    List Mgmt. 2026 List Management

    Realistically all but about 4-5 of the out of contract players are the types we need to see at least half a season from before any decision is made. I'll be happy if Switta, Wagner Johnson are signed up by the mid season bye. Think on potential re-signing Nicholls is pretty much a certainty as...

    They're sitting second with the best net run rate in the competition (by a fair amount btw). Am I missing something or does that most likely mean win the remaining games and we finish top two? No team is that consistent so can see us finishing top two even if we drop another game - Must win...

    Davies is barely smaller than Murphy. I've seen them them standing next to each other and I doubt there is 4cm difference. Reckon they're both close to 2m tbh. Also both a definitely got some height on Draper who's listed at 197cm.

    List Mgmt. 2026 List Management

    Rucks aside clubs don't often keep 30 year old depth players. If list management are comfortable in the ability of the younger KPPs to step up to AFL level when required I don’t think the club prioritizes McDonald over youngsters that could take over from Pearce and stay in the team for ten...

    List Mgmt. 2026 List Management

    Someone saying Murphy looks good at training doesn't even come close to putting him ahead of Davies who was miles better at WAFL level last year. Murphy is starting a long way behind and until actual matches are played I'm not convinced. McDonald is different because it's age and experience vs...

    List Mgmt. 2026 List Management

    I'm quite convinced there's more at play than just that tbh. It'll depend on list spots, depth charts etc. I'll use Oscar McDonald as an example. If Draper had shown his 2024 form in 2025 and Nicholls had played games and looked good there is probably enough depth there that it is all over for...

    They'll give the talls plenty of time if they show much at all IMO. There isn't any hurry to get rid of players. If anything I think it'll be like this year where there's 5-6 list changes at most. Tbh that's probably only 3-4 actual delistings. The first rounders, trades and the odd mature...

    Think we'll only delist 4-5 including retirements if we have a half decent year tbh. There's obviously a lot more candidates than that at this time of year but let's just see how the season plays out. Think this is the year we trim our KPD stocks. Hopefully Draper shows enough that we don’t...

    Train on stints have been extended past the new year. Outside of that no.

    True but that lasted maybe two test matches before it was binned. Reckon he's been picked in the top six every test match he's played since and pretty much never without a specialist spinner picked (until the last six months) In shield cricket he was always a top six batter and part time...

    Steve Smith was 24 before he scored his first century. If he's not a generational talent I don't know who is. Michael Clarke was 23. Thing is most of the most promising batters in Australia are a few years off that. Question for George Bailey is whether he picks the above average shield player...

    I can see the arguments to the contrary but I like having a night watchman remaining that can actually bat a fair bit. On this wicket Neser might be able to make some decent runs before Smith takes over. That's different to Boland who doesn't really have the shots to do so.

    Too many dot balls putting our team under pressure. As great as Marsh is he faces a lot of dot balls and turns 2s into 1s a lot. Faced nearly half an innings of dot balls today and also didn't hit a single two. T20s are won by teams that make the most of as many balls as possible. That's...

    Don't get used to this the next few years unfortunately. We're waiting for guys in their early 20s to become test standard. Hopefully that happens but batting talent aged between 25 and 30 is dire.
