List Mgmt. 2023 List Management thread

[Snuffaluphagus]

Mod notice after Mr Bob did a lot of annoying work in moving days of posts out of here. As we are heading into offseason, this thread is for 2023 list management only. Getting upset on previous trades can be taken to the vent thread. Lets keep this thread on track in the part of the year it's actually relevant

Anyone else find the glorification of these player agents in recent years becoming more and more irritating?
A few years ago no one knew who the **** most of these guys were or what they looked like apart from a handful of idiots like Ricky Nixon.
Now they are everywhere and become more and more prominent each year. Twomey putting a different one each week up on a pedestal, that Paul Connors guy gave me serious FIGJAM vibes too, along with Young.
At the end of the day they are just parasites living off the talent of their clients.

That's fair enough, I'm assuming that croft isn't picking you then?

Feel like you'll have a teen pick that you could swap for points

Not sure you'll have enough to get up to gc pick 4

Croft hasn’t Decided yet

yeah listening to Bell this morning it sounds like Tom Morris was purely just speculating, and we're not going to ask very high for Henry.

Ya I think you might be right.
Morris is the guy who thought Sam Weidemann was worth pick 3 when he was at Melbourne so I’d take his valuations with a pinch of salt

Reckless optimism trade.

Hawthorn pick 3 + junk pick for Henry + our F1 2024.

Both clubs gamble on Freo's fortunes next year (won't happen....).

Take either Watson or Curtin this year.

Yes I'm drunk.

do players even need agents?

Strong username for a rookie

Is there a link to this anywhere?

 

[heavho]

Henry for this guy and swap of Late picks involved. This is a no brainer for both sides

 

[Dockeroo]

From what I understand the fee the agent charges is far outweighed by them having opportunities maximised.
Also for fringe players, agents shop their guys around to help find clubs and in some
Cases keep careers alive. Hard to do that if you don’t have one.
I personally know a fringe AFL player who was delisted last year and his agent got him a new home for this season at a different AFL club. Very unlikely he could have done that by himself.

Not going to happen because he's already agreed verbally to join West Coast.

Connor Blakely?

Apparently that dude is still on a list. Just wow.

 

[TheLastCall]

The pick WC offer could end up going to us, also means that WC need to offer fair value, otherwise the trade Hawks would trade to us.

Could make them pay market value though if we’re still in the running, removing the PSD threat is they can’t reach an agreement with Hawks.

Connor Blakely?

I thought you were kidding, I actually thought it was a couple of years ago he got delisted but it was only last year.
I'm sure he'll be delisted this year, but that's still crazy.

Given his off-field reputation, shame we didn't get Connor to 100 games.

Yeah it's crazy, isn't it? Been playing VFL all year apparently, after being put onto Gold Coasts list last year as delisted free agent.

 

[Joao]

The Peter Bell interview. Lets hope the opposition list manager wasn't listening. Might as well just delist him now.

Hope the Hughes thing was a joke.

What's this?

 

[apuchar]

What's this?

Bell said we had plenty options for the wing and he mentioned Hughes

 

[apuchar]

What's this?

Thankfully he also mentioned Chapman was a possibility

 

[Deathly]

Honestly we need both Chapman and Hughes down back. I'm most worried about what our backline will look like in 3-4 years which is when I think we actually have a shot at winning it all. I don't think I want Chapman up the ground anymore.

 

[pK75]

Thankfully he also mentioned Chapman was a possibility

Strange he didn’t mention MJ, who has been playing a fair amount of time on the wing in recent weeks
