List Mgmt. 2024 List Management Part 2 📃

[MITSUHIRATO]

Do you happen to know if he's been tried down back? Could potentially be a great swingman with his leap and speed off the mark.

Agree he would be a great wingman.

Not sure if he’s been tried down back at WAFL level.

 

[Kaladin Stormblessed]

Seems he was pretty bang on, all but 1 (Durdin) confirmed by the club.

Whatever the message was, his information was closer to the mark than what you'd heard, apparently. Maybe that message was for the 2 that haven't yet been delisted rather than the broader list.

Maybe he had information or maybe he just had a guess (as quite often people do on this site).

Marchbank, Cuningham, Akuei, Mirkov, Durdin, Carroll have been the most obvious candidates for delistings for near on 10+ rounds and all but confirmed well prior to this. Even then he missed two out of six anyway.

I don't know the guy but this constant habit, almost obsession, on this site to try to spring a 'gotcha' moment on genuine posters that have a track record of providing accurate information throughout their time (including most recently a TDK sub call that everyone completely dismissed / ridiculed) is getting really tiresome.

Almost like they're waiting for any opportunity to go "Hah! See - your information was clearly wrong!" - it is quite unhelpful and unecessary, especially if your'e not the poster who posted the original information that was questioned. Really explains why many posters over the years that had genuine information to share have departed these boards.

He was picked - Freo took him in the mid season draft two years ago. They just delisted him.

Not sure what happened re: coaching while he was there, but never really fulfilled his potential.

What happened is that he did his ACL right as he was building form. Kicked 6 goals in the WAFL and a couple weeks later did his knee.

Literally nothing more than that. Except now he’s being Amiss, Treacy, Jackson and Voss in the same position. All of whom are at least 2 years younger than him.

Can he play down back?

Can he play down back?

Dunno if he was ever trialled down there. I’m sure he could.

We clearly have list management holes and some structural deficiencies but it’s also promising to see we did beat 3 of this seasons 4 preliminary finalists during the season so we aren’t far off it when we get it together

Don’t remember the last time we beat 3 of the top 4 teams in any one season

(last season we beat 2 out of 3 which was also pretty good)

3-4 pieces and natural development of some others away from being a proper contender imo. I think most of that can be accomplished this off season if we play our cards right but the KPD hole may be a step beyond reach with the capital we have.

Will need to have far better output from our high performance team though

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Outstanding delistings today.

Trade Owies for pick 30 or so and trade that pick and our 2nd to move up in the draft.

3 or so picks inside the top 30 at the draft and some cheaper trades will be a very good outcome.

How do we match Ben Campo bid? Or do we just go into deficit for next year with this scenario?

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

I would trade Owies too while he seems to be the flavour of the month and we could possibly get something for him or assist in the Houston deal.

He is limited ,we know it......... Forward defensive pressure is next to zero, a horrible field kick, not quick and can be a shocking decision maker.

A very good set shot for goal and can find space. THAT IS ALL!

I feel the club are on the same wavelength hence no deal as yet.

extremely harsh.

Especially when the points of comparison are Motlop, Fantasia and Durdin....

From memory, he was top 10 in the AFL or the like in defensive acts I50 in 2023?

His field kicking is fine and his decision making no worse than countless others....

And his output has improved year on year....

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

It is a business but good organisations don’t treat their people like crap. Don’t make commitments you aren’t prepared to honour.

they would be honouring the contract by paying him out a negotiated amount....

One of the reasons that posters that have had genuine information to share have departed is that personnel at the club change and posters are no longer privy to information. Certain ITK posters disappeared when SOS left the club. Others may not have info now that Russell leaves the club.

Personally I would prefer that no genuine ITK makes it to here. Means that the club is being professionally run. Also means that we can take anything that appears on here as speculation, as it generally is.

Gives me Angwin vibes.

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

I’m surprised at people being so blase about moving on Owies. Small forwards who kick 30 goals a year don’t grow on trees and I think he offers something different in that he’s also decent on the lead. Plus an excellent kick for goal. The issue is we have no one to complement him.

Our biggest issue continues to be how often our stars/leaders have to find another gear to get us over the line.

Surely at some point that energy is going to run out. It’s about ****ing time our mid tier started stepping up. Our young blokes have done their jobs when asked.

Maybe after the list cull reality will sink in and they will start to get serious, along with some more determined recruits.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Currently have 3 4th round picks. Most like we trade a player or 2 or we trade futures. We won’t go into deficit

I really like owies, he's a b grade forward who's made the most of his cat b rookie beginning. Not the most talented but a hard worker who improves himself every year.

But he is out of contract and our other smalls are younger and in contract.

Lastly, you've got to give something to get something and broken down hacks just don't have any value

I don’t particularly want to see him gone but if a decent trade can be done to net us a better player then so be it. Though I think we need to trade one of Motlop / Durdin also if that happens to get another small fwd who is going to do their job.

I’m happy to organise a go fund me page!

I'm more worried about the drop off of some of our "elite".

Simple 3m handpasses shouldn't be going to grass.

I think we need to do the basics well, more often.

The Owies situation flies in the face of the clubs salary cap supposedly having space.

I’ve always maintained that regardless of what’s said, the actions of the club speak louder than words.

So if we re-sign Fog and Durdin but push our best small forward out the door because we need to pay more, that to me raises concerns.

Owies is more durable than all our other smalls, kicks more goals and puts in every week, we have stuffed this imo.

We could have pushed Fog or Durdin out and done offered Owies a respectable deal, he loves the Blues and contributed more than all the others, despite his limitations.

Problem is that the mid tier don't get opportunity too often.

How to often has Carroll played as a genuine midfielder? How about Binns on the wing?

They've got to have a chance before to get can improve.

We've been seduced by names this season in particular.

What if those guys agreed to sign for much less than the league avaerage? Does it make sense then? What if we'd need to pay more to fill those spots?

I'm not saying that's the case, just that we don't have enough information to do anything but broadly speculate.

I was talking about those regularly picked, like our trio of smalls, Cotters, Boyd etc.

This is a very good point. The question is why?

Players don't lose their ability. Are they sore, injured, frustrated, confused or have opposition sides found us out?

One reason I am concerned about how we fell away this year is the our 2 best players (Cripps & Weitering) couldn't have done much more. I thought Cripps had his best year

Goddamn can that dude jump and kick!
50m off balance and off 1 step, clears the line and nearly hits the fence!
40m on the run, outside of the boot, close to the boundary, no problem!
So long as he passes the NO FIGJAM test, bring him in.
Has genuine footballer written all over him
