List Mgmt. 2020 Draft Thread

apparently we will need list spots for picks to match Daicos so i would guess 6-8

Yeah but it's pointless delisting players who won't give you a draft pick with points value.
 
I disagree. I think the 3 mentioned in Greenwood, Roughy, and Mayne could be coming to the end of their tenure.

Beyond them there are a few who have been at the club a while but haven't established themselves. Of course they could do so in 2021. That group includes Tohill, Lynch, Sier, Murphy and probably Wilson. I doubt we'd turn all of them over, in fact I expect more than a few of them will have strong impacts at senior level in 2021, or be strong VFL contributors awaiting an opportunity. I'm quite bullish about our list post the trade/draft period.
Roughead is contracted beyond next season. You think Cox and JT are going to stay on? No chance I would have thought.
 
I'll see your image with another image:

He's 18 and clearly doesn't have a mature AFL standard physique in terms of core strength or muscular development (not that he would be expected to at this stage) and yet he tips the scales at the 194cm / 101kg.

Some examples of mature-bodied AFL KPF's for comparison (numbers taken from footywire):

Levi Casboult: 201cm / 101kg
Harry McKay: 204cm / 99kg
James Stewart: 199cm / 96kg
Josh Bruce: 197cm / 101kg
Aaron Naughton: 195cm / 89kg
Tom McDonald: 194cm / 99kg
Josh Kennedy: 196cm / 102kg
Tom Hawkins: 198cm / 103kg
Sam Weideman: 195cm / 97kg
Matt Taberner: 198cm / 99kg
Jake Riccardi: 195cm / 92kg
Daniel McStay: 195cm, 100kg

and the list goes on...

Callow has an immature physique and is clearly lacking in that respect in comparison to literally any of the players listed above and yet his weight is up there with the bigger specimens. Feel free to compare him side by side with any of the players listed above (or any other established similar-sized KPF's on an AFL list) if you still think there isn't a marked difference.

Based on those comparisons he does appear to be carrying too much weight (note I'm not saying he's fat, but he is heavy for his size) and, given the concerns about his athleticism that have been reported pretty widely, it looks like he needs to both lose weight and improve his functional strength rather than just relying on weight (increased athleticism will likely come with that change) if he's going to make it onto an AFL list.

1 afl preseason would see him shed muscle through the copious amounts of running expected of him.

I am also dubious on many of those listed weights on some of those players no way Casboult is hitting the scales at only 101. Nor would Naughton be only 89kg I call BS on many of the weights listed by clubs.

He may not have a "mature build" but you can see weights development through shoulders and parts of the lower chest. He also has very big legs for an 18 yo which would be where most his listed weight would come from.

No way known this behemoth is only 101kg. Screenshot_2.jpg Screenshot_1.jpg

They were talking about extending Cox’s contract (less per year more overall) for another year in the trade period, so I expect him to be at Collingwood in 2022, hopefully as depth.
 
Instead of just adding a link, can you add a comment on what it is so I don’t waste my time

Thanks.

It wasn’t just a link, it should have appeared as a labelled YouTube video. It’s not his fault it didn’t display properly on your screen.
 
To be fair there are still plenty of fans who would vividly recall Grundy/Broomhead/Kennedy and Scharenberg/Freeman as being recent false dawns for the club.

We need these selections to yield difference-making players.
I don't want to jump on the bandwagon for another season. We really don't know how these guys are going to perform at AFL level and there is no point in talking them up the way investors do shares on the Hot Copper forum. What looks good at a lower sporting level does not necessarily translate into excellence when matched against class players.

Our selections also need to prove they are not going to fall victim to the Collingwood injury curse, spending much of their careers recovering from repetitive hamstring injuries or going for a record number of ACLs. I will bide my time before I give my seal of approval to our new influx of players. They look OK on paper and in their highlight reels, but can they become the players we need them to be if we are to realistically challenge again for a premiership?

Don’t be surprised if Reef has a better than expected 2km
Ooooh, I was wondering how long it would take for a tanking conspiracy to arise!

hard to imagine it continuing next year given changes to NGA priority access in the 1st round after this year for clubs other than the northern academies.
Even so, we have 1 x second and 3 x thirds?

We’ll need a spot for Daicos, so we create four spaces, match for Daicos, use up our picks with points value and then elevate three rookies. We’d be hoping that at a minimum Keane and Wilson have come on by then, and would have used up their eligibility by then anyway from memory?

We actually have another potential NGA that sits outside the top 20 next year in Dib, so 2 spots for draftees and 2 rookie elevations is perfect unless we need extra points for Daicos and have to open up another spot.
 
Not a whole lot of Big man stuff in that, couple lead and marks and a lot of sitting on own stuff. It's the biggest stain on Dekka's career outside picking small crumbing xfactor types is picking quality KPFs.
I desperately hope against hope that we invite Callow to train with us this summer, but I know I’m going to be disappointed.
