This Part 2 Continued from Part 1: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/2020-list-management-free-agency-trade-thread.1241035/ What type of players does our list need? Pace, Skill, Class and and goal threat. A winger, forward flank and forward pocket are the 3 positions that we need, plus...

Duffield reporting that lists are likely to be “38 primary, 4 regular rookies + 2 NGA rookies allowed per club.”

by my count we currently have

• 1 Cat B (Thomas)
• 1 Regular Rookie (Tobe)
• 37 on the primary list (With Mundy, Schultz, Bewley and Banfield all on the primary list and uncontracted)

Yeah and i also heard on some podcast or another that there will be an option of 40 main list and 2 rookies too.

 

[CapitalA]

Why are they continuing with the rookie list at all?

Because they are cheaper. I assume if you have a lot of expensive players you would go 38 main 6 rookies to fit them in the cap...

Isn't Shultz good mates with Hogan......Hmmm

Might move on with his buddy as a package.

......Its a slow night alright.

 

[Freomaniac]

Our first this season, our first next season and Tucker I would be comfortable with

I guess you didn't learn from the Harley Bennell trade

 

[yakka man]

There's talk North have put an offer in front of him that we're unlikely to match.

Oh, Yes... Like there's talk of Cripps on his way home

 

[Deathly]

Losing Schultz would suck. He's been our best small forward this year.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Oh, Yes... Like there's talk of Cripps on his way home

THAT'S NOT TALK

You would think that during this year if a club is cutting a player to then pick them up on their rookie list there is an unwritten law between clubs to not swoop in and grab the player.

 

[Sweetback]

Schultz has a bit of toe as well. Master of the silent takedown. We also have Switta coming back, so maybe a good time for everyone. He seems to love the club though.

 

[Johnny Dalmas]

You would think that during this year if a club is cutting a player to then pick them up on their rookie list there is an unwritten law between clubs to not swoop in and grab the player.

Why? If your current club wants to shunt you to the Rookie list (just a half-way house to being permanently delisted), then it would be in the player's best interests for another club to swoop in.

 

[Purpellian Anchor]

Been some talk in the media of Western Bulldogs trading their first and possibly capitalising on the likes of Adelaide, North and GWS (2 compo picks) trading up.

Once player trades and pick exchange have occurred a late first with an early second may be worthwhile...eg 18 and 27 to go with our 29
We would be in a good position too I would think.

I prefer we keep our first but unless we get another pick and points in the bank maybe we will have to trade it.

 

[freodog]

Trading Schultz and Bewley for some picks in the 40s that can be used for points on NGA bids seems like reasonable list management to me. This year or future, if future pay a premium and make it a second rounder

Who’s to say the NGA players are any better? We’ve had about 5 now and Shultz & Bewley have been much better so far.

 

[eastfreo75]

Why are they continuing with the rookie list at all?

Clubs don’t want to commit to certain players more than 1 year at a time.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Where has the Schultz talk come from?

 

[Tbonefreo]

Who was the cheeky bugger that started the Schultz stuff?

Who was the cheeky bugger that started the Schultz stuff?

Colonel Hogan

 

[Daddoo]

Hawks won 3 flags with the possession game.

We won none.


In the end I think JLo gamestyle will hold up in finals.

Agreed. You can add an Eagles flag won with a possession game style in there too.

How'd that work for either of them this year?

 

[blue shark]

I think we can all agree our back half will be elite, 1-3 best defence in the AFL.
Darcy has shown huge potential at his age.
Acres on a wing after a poor start, proved he is capable of 20 plus possessions per game.
Aish on the other, or half back.
But another speedy mid would be a point of difference in our rotations.
Up forward is where we will struggle the most for percentage, close games.
To really have any chance out of WA a top 4 finish is paramount, two years in a row our
feathered friends have proven that.

Its hard to work out why we aren't scoring that well. On paper we look good up front.

 

[Bring back Drum]

Its hard to work out why we aren't scoring that well. On paper we look good up front.

Speed of ball movement from the back half, slow & calculated atm which allows opposition defence to set up easily.
Hopefully working on that over summer along with trying to turn the ball over sooner.

 

[Lach72]

IMO Bewley is in trouble along with Banfield.

Aish, Acres, Freddy and Young can all play wing...and is we are keeping Hill he can play there too
