Analysis 2017 List Management Discussion - Part 3

Ike the Spike then ?

 

[Smegger]

Check out the Bears youngsters too. Vossy and White. They were coming on. Was the most exciting final we played that series as far as other team giving us a decent game.

Yep. great final but...

1995 rnd 21. Blues vs Eagles. Fmd, now THAT was a game!

 

[Tambourine]

Can all 4 of jones, marchbank, plowman and weitering play defense together?

Carry on.

 

[Arr0w]

I also can't see why we'd want to sign Hartung. Other than speed he offers very little.

If we do sign him, would effectively use up one of our last picks in the 90's. Not bad option when considering what is left in the draft talent wise

 

[Keyza]

Have we the crumbers to take advantage of the spills off the marking contest?

We used to, until we gave them away.

 

[Keyza]

Does anyone know what the story with Alex Silvagni is? He signed a new one year contract extension but the club didnt say if he is still a rookie or has been elevated permanently. The HUN had an article yesterday saying we have 6 draft selections so on this basis he must still be a rookie.

Weitering to swing
The other 3 - allow one to be injured ?

Signed on for another year.
Everyone committed with contracts other than Graham, for now.

No real need to take him off the rookie list any more.
We're also highly unlikely to use 6 selections at the ND.
4 maybe, but not 6, leaving us with the favoured 38/6 split, unless we take on Hartung and then we may go 39/5, or we may not use #72.

Why is 38/6 favoured when I thought rookies now can play?
I’m lost

 

[HARKER]

Just on the talk of Delisted Free Agents;
Do they put a price on their head, or are they simply just happy to get back into the system on a starting contract again?
I know that would be on a horses for courses basis, but just wondering how it may work in practice.

 

[bluebrew]

bluebrew will deny it.....

And you will like it.

Usually cheaper, a help with the TPP and a commitment of only one year as opposed to two.
At least it used to be, unless things changed this year.

If there is a competitive market then the DFA has choice as to where to further his career. But is limited to the offers he gets, could try and negotiate more but might not get taken ...
If just one club then I guess the DFA does not have a lot of bargaining power.
A long way removed from the pre-Season draft ...

 

[Arr0w]

Pass on Hartung.

Neither Yes or No with Hartung, but I think using a 3rd or 4th pick in a trade vs a free hit as a DFA. He is miles ahead of the likes of Buckley and Boekhorst and would easily be better than 90% of the kids added with picks in the 90's. just saying

Anyway, we will find out soon

 

[PumpyChowdown]

In best BT voice:

"Liam Ryan? Who the **** is this guy?"

Just watched the highlights reel of this kid. BOY OH BOY! WOWEEEE!!!! His leap is something else! If a team takes a punt on him and he knuckles down and makes it AFL level he'll provide some truly remarkable passages of play and win mark of the year just about every year. Incredible.

 

[Iamcarlton]

Agree incredible match and the Spalding bump on Mckenna wowee! was huge

Future A grade:
Charlie
Jacob
Sps
Caleb
Willo

IMO.

People have uploaded some on YouTube, and the AFL have their annual Draft Machine online.

Hartung is a know quantity that is not AFL standard. We’ve had rookie selections that are better players than him, so the draft number is irrelevant.

Hit the draft and pick a rough diamond. An unknown is still better than a known miss.

I just don’t know who the player is
