Yeh i know, yet he isnt even an emergency

 

[stretcharmstrong]

Yep, gotta be something to it...

 

[Blackas87]

We don't need inside clearance midfielders anyway.

 

[stretcharmstrong]

No, we kick arse at clearances...

 

[Supermercado]

We were downright reasonable at centre clearances last week. Now watch us back that up with nil this week.

We don't need inside clearance midfielders anyway.

Really???

I think we have a clear lack of inside ball winning mids. We have Jones & Viney but every other club seems to have at least 6. I'm staggered that Magner isn't getting games for us.

Macdonald announces retirement

I was being sarcastic, it's unbelievable under two coaches this season that Magner can't get a game, we would be instantly have a much more competitive midfield with him in, he is the most consistent player down at Casey raking up big numbers every week. We won't have to delist him at years end because he'll walk strait to another club

I'm glad your on my side otherwise that would have been a couple of differing opinions between the two of us this wk or so.

It's always hard to pick up 'computer' sarcasm!!!

Haha no believe me our inside midfield game is the most important area we need to work on, our back and forward lines don't look too bad but the modern game is all about the midfield, without one the backs can only stop a certain amount and forwards can't kick goals if the ball ain't up there, Craig hasn't addressed this since taking over and it's why I don't want him as coach

 

[Captain Jack]

Does Magner's elevation change the dynamics of trading him? Isn't there some restriction on trading rookies?

Not sure about that?

From memory josh Jenkins was a rookie at Essendon when traded to Adelaide

So, Macdonald and Davey are gone.

That makes life a little easier for the kids in danger of falling out due to Neeld/Harrington's fantastic list management.

True, and clearly Gillies will be delisted, so that's 3.

 

[RandB]

Do you guys want a new list management thread put up post season like last year?

I'll compile all the relevant info for the OP in due course.

 

[Tulip]

It's Fitzcelebration time. 2 more years.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

In Fitz we trust.

 

[RandB]

Guys we have 3 new threads open now (in line with last year) to try and keep discussion flowing and easy to follow as it will only build up as post-season approaches:

Official 2013 Free Agency discussion thread

Official 2013 Draft discussion thread: National / PSD / Rookie

Official 2013 Trade Period discussion thread

Even though this is now the List Management discussion thread it isn't always easy to keep to one topic and sometimes you may wish to post something which incorporates the other topics in your posts so there is leeway here.

As with last year we'll use this as a bit of a catch all thread for discussion and of all things list analysis.

JackAttack7 I hope you don't mind me renaming your thread and I'll probably add some info to your OP as well in due course, cheers.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

No problem at all RandB, keep up the good work.

I have been thinking, if Rodan's knee is another acl or is as serious as they think it is then surely that might be another retirement. Tough to come back from another at his age. Just a thought.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Ankle injury I think, but same principle I guess.

 

[Devastating Boris]

Ankle injury I think, but same principle I guess.

Ahhh I just remember seeing him clutching his knee. Yeah could be the same.

Knee as per http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2013-08-27/timeframe-on-rodan-injury-still-up-in-air
