List Mgmt. 2024 List Management discussion

[Johnny Bananas]

Quite willing to wait and see who that is that's expecting that. I'm betting it's actually no one.

Well gee, I expected him to take the heat off Hipwood, start every game, win the Coleman and the Norm Smith, swim across the Bass Strait, create peace in the Middle East and colonise Mars. I'm sad to hear you don't share my optimism.

 

[Nunez]

Can't wait to see Sam win a premiership medal and for Fish to write a story with the title: Every Lion Has Its Day: How Former Sun Spearheaded Lions To Back-To-Back

 

[Section 5]

YOU know that Day is 33 next year yeah? He's never taken a season by storm those expecting him to realistically take the heat of Hipwood it's not going to happen

Day turns 33 on 6th Sep 2025.
So, he will play most of the year as a 32-year-old. Not young but still a reasonable age for a KPF
Whether he plays in the seniors or VFL is anyones guess. Assuming we pick him up of course.
Lester and Zorko older.
Neale is 32 in May, Fort & McCarthy 31 basically for the season.

I trust our medical and conditioning staff to get him as right as can be done.
2023: 20 games. 17 VFL, 3 AFL
2024: 13 games. 8 VFL 5 AFL. Last game 24/8/2024 being a loss to Frankston in Wildcard round.

We can only take what we can get for free.
Day needs a lifeline, 12 months with a trigger or 2 years should be the deal.
Being in the premiership window i would rather take someone like Day rather than go to the draft or Ireland to complete our list.

If Sam helps to take us to the next step and finally win the highly coveted McClelland trophy it will be well worth it.

Now here's someone who is sick of us winning finals.

Don't you think Marshall is a little unrealistic... I mean it takes years to get there and he won't be on our list then!

 

[Johnny Bananas]

But this is Sam Day, the rocket boosters in his legs will have him reaching Mars by tea time.

 

[braddsey]

The AFL will create a special supplementary rookie category X list spot, specifically for interstellar players, spreading the contract value over duration of the space flight. If the player fails to return to earth, only 50% of the residual contract value needs to be carried in the salary cap. Pretty good deal IMHO.

 

[Perrip]

Expect them to use at least one more pick after bringing in Levi Ashcroft and Sam Marshall.

With this info in the Phantom Draft + Conole on Gettable this morning alluring to the fact we could draft 4 players, I wonder if Cal has heard rumours of a non-Brisbane team snagging Craven or Joyce with a late pick?

Would be a bit annoying tbh if Joyce was taken by another club as he looked pretty good from the matches he played in this year in the AFL team as a result of injuries to our KPD stocks.

While it would be sad if Craven got taken also, we can replace him with someone else later in the draft like Unwin or Stumpf.

Well he may or may not "take the heat off Hipwood" but he will certainly be a big body to take the heat off Logan Morris, as he grows into his body. As long as he can run decoy leads, crash packs and most importantly bring the ball to ground, to the best small forward group in the league, he will do. All he really needs to do is prevent larger rebounding backs from it taking in the air with a well timed punch. A role player is what we need, as the shop is empty of guns right now.

 

[blueiris]

Given the gnashing of teeth over Sam Day, will be quite funny if we don’t even end up taking him.

I haven't heard Dom, Stephen, or Danny, actually come out and say we're chasing Day

Twomey has which probably means he’s been told in private by Dom or Conole

Or he's going down the media road like every Victorian reporter is and linking him to Us

That's funny because I first heard the Day rumour from a Brisbane journo.

 

[SizeMatters]

Sam is a spud but we needed someone to cover the loss of Daniher. He just happens to fill a specific role we need and will cost nothing but a measly salary. A key forward who can pinch hit in the ruck if need be.

 

[blueiris]

REALLY I first heard it by JZ Clark in the heard sun

I only say it because it seems unlikely that a rumoured club signing would be reported by multiple journos with multiple different media outlets, and then it didn't end up actually happening...

Day will be better than Hipwood

Starts tomorrow night baby.
After that it will become clear as day

 

[Gadzorks]

A stop gap until the return of Joe

Would love it, but not sure the retirement travel and relax is equivalent to a preseason. And the bigger you are the harder it is to get back to peak fitness.

 

[SizeMatters]

Day will be better than Hipwood

Hipwood is extremely out of form and I hope the last few years are just a slight speed bump. I’d have Hipwood as our 6th ranked forward. So not a huge call by any means.

As far as importance goes, I would have him much higher especially next year without Joe.
