List Mgmt. 2023 Trade Thread - Part II

[Captain Paddy]

I hate using high picks on KPBs. I'm old school. KP backs are just failed forwards given a lifeline.

Does it matter though? We need better players on every line so best not to obsess on it surely.

We are really short of mids though and look like unloading another lot. We need to trade for some if we can't draft them. A star mid in this draft would have been good.

Coffield should be the sub tonight. Let’s get a look at AFL level. We all know Clark’s capabilities at this point in time. If he plays an effective game, he keeps his spot. If not, Clark gets back in.

Key defenders & forward talls are gold if they’re quality players!

I think Ross will go with what he knows

Incredible how few true mids there are in this draft. Only the Saints could be on a roll with drafting then the universe shits a draft out that has nothing we particularly need. It does run a bit deeper than I thought though. Freijah, Delean and Moir all pretty late after some early hype.

Exactly its completely devoid of genuine midfielders after the top 12. The players you mentioned are all very much outside wings/ or small forwrad options. A few sliders I liked at the championships are Clay Hall, Kane McAuliffe and Kade De La Rue but are not players who we could expect to have an immediate impact like top 10 picks.

I think you’re correct. You’re going to stick with a formula so close to finals in a must win game. It would still be nice to have a look at Coff though.

Reckon he's an average footballer that's inflated because he plays on a good team tbh

Possibly, or he could be a player that just Lack a opportunity.

Either way I think he's a better footballer than quite a few on our list so woth his age and the fact he's free he might be worth a punt.

 

[Premium]

Because he runs like a park footballer, can't spread, is allergic to the gym & doesn't commit to being a full time professional athlete

It all depends what he is worth - anything less than a high 2nd round draft pick I would keep him for depth and then it's up to him if he wants to go else where for more money.
Same goes with Billings - these guys would be fine for depth.

Flanders already has 10 disposals with 12 minutes left in the first quarter against Carlton

Dew being sacked with 2 months to go is ultimately going to cost us here.

Hopefully he agreed to terms ages ago. Gubby was up on the goldy doing work earlier in the year.

We have somehow contrived to build a list chock full of both depth players and cherry on the cake players - which is basically a B-grade list.

If we want to change that trajectory, the best option would be to keep the best of the depth and somehow get some kind of value for trading the rest...

Except that will never happen. No one is going to pay jack shit for "the rest of the depth."

So probably the best realistic option is to trade the best of the depth for whatever we can get and keep a few untried players and cross our fingers and one or two vets who can teach a young player the ropes.

Nice to wish for, but the boring stuff like environment and development is still more important. We've been unbelievably lucky the last 2 drafts and looks like Toce might just be a giant leprechaun. On form they'll find us a good player at whatever pick and if the draft market is anything like last year opportunity abounds.

Toce isn't a leprechaun. He's just a competent talent spotter. We have been conditioned to accept poor drafting for so long that we feel like lottery winners when someone can do their job.

Flanders playing well again. Hardwick will get him to stay. Ok, next target…

Not only throw the chequebook at Flanders, but pay him what it costs to keep him talent spotting and recruiting at Moorabbin for years to come. Already has a decent record.
