List Mgmt. 2013 LIST MANAGEMENT thread - Finalised

[Deefolt]

Problem is you can't delist and pay out contracted players, Dunn has another year left. We could perhaps trade him for for a draft pick, say pick 100 that we will never use, but we just have to find a club that wants him on their list.

I KNEW IT!!! Give him to WCE they wanted Bennell and Morton so they appear to not watch our players?

Yeah hopefully they haven't realized their mistakes yet, GWS might be another candidate if they want some experienced players.

collingwood is also surprisingly someone for our useless ones to go to... and carlton (simon buckley, chris johnson)

And Ricky 'Bobby' Pettard.

Although admittedly, he wasn't on the same level of spudness as Maric. Has he played any games for the Tigs this year?

8 games, has battled with injury. Is first 22, or squad of 25 at least. Doing quite well playing in the backline.

Why does everyone think Kent is mature aged?

They don't check their facts?
Apparently Pedo only got 2 years; so did Byrnes which is sorta good (3 years for Pedersen was ****ing ludicrious!). They also seem to have missed the fact Evans got another deal earlier this year for 2 more years (didn't he?).

I wouldn't believe any of the 'facts' in that article. It looks like a 'What Jay thinks' article.

 

[Benwah83]

And no, they don't check them. They work for The Hun.

Not sure about that. I could well be wrong but I don't remember reading about it

Nice prompt reply!

I can't believe we have signed him for another two years. Very injury plagued

 

[Cannon82]

Yeah hopefully they haven't realized their mistakes yet, GWS might be another candidate if they want some experienced players.

I think Dunn and a second round pick would be fair.

Neeld's call. I don't see it, but he's still young so good luck to him!

I think the article was actually saying Pederson has a further two years still to go so the crazy contract remains crazy.

Thought i would do a best 22 for Melbourne next year so here it is. There are a few factors that will have an impact on side which i've mentioned at the bottom:
FB: Garland, Frawley, Terlich
HB: Grimes, McDonald, Watts
C: Toumpas, Trengove, Aish (likely pick 2/3, gun kid from SA. Good decision maker, inside/outside player. Perfect for dees)
HF: Howe, Clark, Syvlia
FF: Dawes, Hogan, Blease
Fol: Jamar, Viney, N. Jones
Bench: Fitzpatrick/Gawn/Spencer, M. Jones, Kent, McKenzie
Emg: Nicholson, Clisby, Ruckman of 3 above

Summation of the list.
Forward line- Really strong, Clark, Hogan and Dawes along with howe jumping on player's heads would scare any opposition coach. Clark NEEDS to stay healthy though. I think Blease, Barry and Kent are potentially good small forwards who will help the talls. Flash Davey unfortunately looks gone.
Midfield- Pathetic but if Trengove and Grimes live up to their potential and Toumpas, Viney, Evans and hopefully Aish continue to improve, along with older guys like the Jones boys and Colin Syvlia it isnt as grim as some might think.
Defence- Strong, Frawley, if he stays is a gun, McDonald has some serious potential due to his running capacity, Garland has been one of the only players at Melbourne to improve this year and looks set for a top 2 finish in the B and F. Running backman like Terlich, Nicholson and Clisby have potential but if Melbourne wants to be a finals contender in 2-4 years they will need to bring in a player to break the lines, Watts has that ability but if he stays and where he plays is another question/argument.
Rucks- Ok, Jamar will last a couple more years and the threesome of Gawn, Fitzpatrick and Spencer look alright. A high draft pick traded for a quality ruckman would not be wasted at all.
Not to bad on paper IMO. A few things to contemplate.
1- Priority pick talk heating up with some saying this week (vs GWS) will have a big say on where the pick is. If pick 1, Melbourne will trade to another club as forward line of Watts, Hogan, Clark, Dawes, Howe, Fitzpatrick is too big. Will likely try to bring in a kid and an experienced leader. This will have a dramatic effect on the list as if Melbourne could bring in an A-grade mid it would do wonders for their pathetic midfield.
2- New coach/ head of football. Eade's name has been strengthening as coach whilst now that Walsh has left Collingwood he is a major chance as he and CEO Peter Jackson are old colleague. A Eade/ Walsh duo might work nicely as they are both from Collingwood and successful. All that us dees fans ask for is an experienced coach who knows how to develop kids.
3- Trading, i think Melbourne will be once again a major player in trade week (especially if we get a priority pick) as i think Watts might get traded to a Freo/Adelaide. Other possible trades might be with the draft picks, I would guess we have Pick 2 and about 21 at minimum but if we get priority pick, 1,3,22. These picks i would suggest would be traded for pure midfielders who have leadership abilites. Taylor Adams' (GWS, 19 y/o pick 13 from a few years ago) name has been circling as a possible trade for the Dees. Other players who i think may be on the outer at the Dees via trade might be Frawley and a big tall, possibly even cult hero "Fitzy" or 29 y/o Mark Jamar who i believe would benefit a top team.

In summary, Melbourne Fans need to keep and have hope. I think the list is going to be ok but 2014 is a very important year, especially for the likes of Trengove, Grimes, Tapscott, Watts and Blease, these kids need to be the ones who push the Demons forward.
Whatever happens with the Coach/picks/ head of football/ chairman/board, i think the Melbourne side of 2014 will be much more competitive.
I hope you enjoyed the read and please leave some feedback

Getting the feeling Magner has already been earmarked as a delist, only explanation I can think as to why he isnt cracking the seniors

 

[fushy]

He got upgraded last week...
