List Mgmt. 2020 Trade and List Management Thread III

[Rod Stroker]

Is there any media, vids, pics of our new recruits yet?

 

[Rod Stroker]

Brady: "Ben had ONE suitor at the end of the year". Sounds like there were very few options, not a lot of interest.

 

[Grogg]

Loved Clayton too.

First comments: " I've only been here since December, but the Shinboner Spirit is real".

Awesome enthusiasm

 

[Rod Stroker]

Brady: "We've basically traded Ben for Jaidyn + Atu". Yeah, but one is closer to the end than the other two!

 

[Rod Stroker]

It's clear our top brass have a lot of respect for Higgo.

 

[Lomas]

Pretty sure I've covered that.

That's great! As a new poster, how do I track your previous post/s regarding this down? Is it possible for you to link, if not too much trouble of course.

 

[DuckYeah]

Which coach is being traded in? I want our boys back into preseason, getting a game plan down pat!

 

[Grogg]

Luffy a big wrap for Combo's athleticism and ability to take it in the air but then have the speed and will to harass and pressure once it hits the deck.

He'll play a lot of footy next year, imo especially in the last half of the season.

 

[Pykie]

Interesting they mentioned twice regarding our second round picks and still being able to trade up in the draft order.

I highly doubt we are done.

Will be some picks swaps imo.

With the reduced number of draft picks required, the reduction in list sizes, and the ability to take more picks into the draft than list spots, it will be an interesting lead up to draft night. Lots of pick trading in the lead up is on the cards, particularly with clubs with minimum numbers of uncontracted players.

 

[Wels Eicke]

I really enjoyed that chat. Thought they answered all the questions thoroughly. Hope they do them more often. Genuine positive feeling around the club.

They also made mention of next years mid season draft and the SPP period.

So looks like we might leave a list spot open going into the year or for the mid season draft.

I agree, although I am assuming that the mid season draft will be open to any club with a long term injury or retirement.

Yeah was good I thought. It's always interesting to get an insight into the collective thought processes that lead to a decision, whether that be a delisting, a trade target, a role a certain player has the scope to play despite limited opportunity eg: Stephenson's inside/outside traits.

I also thought the CEO (despite his reputation coming into the job) was a very affable dude. He seemed to get a kick out of the whole q&a process and was open to more of this interaction on a more regular basis depending on how it went down with the fans.

If the mid season draft is open to anybody that misses being selected in the upcoming drat their could be a heap of Vic kids worth taking.

It was good, wasn’t it?

Regardless of what was said, which in any case was great, the quiet self confidence they exhibited in their plan gave a great impression of a team that is in United and absolutely clear on where we are heading.

Member Q & A
Over 700 questions were submitted for our panel, who aimed to address as many topics as possible on Friday afternoon.

North Melbourne is planning for big things to come on and off the field, after a bumper trade and free agency period according to CEO, Ben Amarfio.
“We’ve made some strong statements in the last couple of weeks,” Amarfio said.

“We’re all working methodically on a long-term plan. Some of those decisions have been painful to make, but they’re the decisions that will help turn the club around.”

, Head of Player Personnel Scott Clayton and List Manager Glenn Luff, convened to answer member questions on Friday afternoon and covered a range of topics.

Clayton, who has had decades of experience in the AFL said the club was on the brink of something special as it prepares to enter the draft with its strongest hand in years.

“As much as we’ve enjoyed bringing the players in this week, we’re ready to go to the draft, which is where it gets really exciting.”
“We’ll have five picks in December. We’re so set out, and so excited.

“I fully expect media and fans to say next year, ‘Gee, North Melbourne’s exciting’.”

Luff, who spent 20 years at Champion Data before joining North, said the acquisitions of Aidan Corr

“The other thing we looked at was speed in the front half of the ground, and Jaidyn and Atu bring that.”

Just finished watching. This was good. I hope they do more of these.

Liked the combination of Luff and Clayton

• Luff- the modern, data driven trend guy
•Clayton - the no BS wise old sage who’s seen it all

Balance

Like a good trading desk should be

It was good, and they seemed to leave the ball in our court for future ones. I would, however, like to see a live format where they address questions submitted in the lead up and then a smattering of follow up questions. I realise that they will still choose the 'live' questions they want to answer, but it should result in more rounded discussion when they received a number of similar requests asking for them to expand on, or clarify, an answer.

Bucks is a god damned moron. At this stage you just step away, and let the situation deflate, it's not like they're likely to have anything else up their sleeve to damage your brand with.
