List Mgmt. 2021 List Management: Draft, Trade, Free Agency and Academy

[FreoRicci]

That time of year again: Predictions (players out of contract this year):

Adam Cerra	Resign / Trade
Bailey Banfield	Delist
Brett Bewley	Delist
Darcy Tucker	Resign / Trade
David Mundy	Resigned
Ethan Hughes	Resigned
Lachlan Schultz	Resign/ Trade
Leno Thomas	Delist
Lloyd Meek	Resign/ Trade
Mitchell Crowden	Delist
Nathan Wilson	Resign/ Trade
Reece Conca	Delist (Retire)
Stefan Giro	Delist
Stephen Hill	Delist (Retire)
Taylin Duman	Resign
Tobe Watson	Delist
Travis Colyer	Will be resigned

Have to admit, regardless of whether some of these aren’t AFL material, that’s a fair bit of personnel to replace.
Very interesting regarding Conca.

What's with the 'diagrees' jive turkeys? It's a prediction. Post your own version.

8 delistings is par for most clubs. Conca is the only long term regular there.

If I was to add possibilities, without trying to indulge Joao, that there is a chance ram man might get a one year deal. The rest are 100% goooneee

I agree with the majority of your assessments, but will respectfully counter your musings regarding Duman and Watson, with a question - which player exhibits enough impressive traits, to be deemed the greatest chance of being a success story? My money is on Watson. Also, in my humble opinion, Conca is worthy of one additional year on the list, purely because he no doubt mentors the younger generation of players, has performed admirable "lock-down" roles on proven opposition small forwards, and if nothing else, acts as a hardened body to use as cannon fodder!

I don't disagree about Conca, but his behaviour on the field for Peel screams winding down the clock. Funnily enough I also agree about Watson v Duman. But I think Duman offers more offensively even if he is a less talented defender and, on the basis of balancing the list, I think Watson will go and he will stay. If you asked me to pick a third option it would be both delisted!

Do you know as to why Leno Thomas never emerged after being cited as an impeccable kick and talented prospect?

Never seen a single minute of him so I couldn't say. A decent kick and talent will only get you so far though and you get even less oppo to show it when you're rookie listed only. You gotta put in extra hard then still be lucky. Cut throat business.

Hmm, let's hope someone like Richard Bartlett exhibits more then!

Helps not to dissapear for a couple months.

One of the prerequisites for an account here, should be being able to correctly use re-sign vs resign.
dumb English language having two opposite words either near identical spelling.

(nor a dig at anyone, have seen it on multiple boards and is starting to make me twitch)

Wait a minute minute.

 

[summerthebat]

I'm not discounting the idea that SPS may have been butchered by Carlton, but Aish was a far superior player at the Pies compared to SPS.

‘Far superior’ is a bit of flair isn’t it

 

[DragoDelph]

Wait a minute minute.

At least they’re not opposites!

The difference between re-sign and resign is the least of the problems on here.

Ha ha
That twigged me when I first started on BF
I think someone mentioned Luke Ryan “ resigning “ and I nearly lost my s**t

Anyone have the text from Jordan Mcardles writeup of the State 19s trial game today.

Schultz is a free agent, so if he goes it won't be as a trade. Some 3rd-ish compo at a guess.

Hard to argue against any of this, although I will say that Leno showed a glimmer of hope in one or 2 WAFL games as opposed to all of the others whom are clearly not going to make it. (Despite the fact that he didn’t go to Hale or Christchurch)

I actually like Duman and Watson, but as we all know they suffer from the fact we have Hamling, Pearce, Cox, Logue, Ryan, Chapman, Young, Hughes, Walker, Wilson & Aish all ahead of them.

Hard to disagree with most of this, only change for mine would be to give Crowden another year. Also wouldn’t shock me if Duman wanted to explore his chances back home (especially given the fact that he and his partner are from Vic and they already have a kid).

 

[Tbonefreo]

I like Aish. He cops it a little but he's a good player. Don't regret that one at all.

Id keep Watson. I think he's got what it takes to make it,

The rest are just a bunch of Byron Schammers

 

[FreoRicci]

Bewley probably stays.
When does Aish go out of contract? Definitely a keeper.

 

[Joao]

It's really not. Aish's last 18 months at the Pies were quality. SPS has played like 2/90 good games and they were both years ago.
