List Mgmt. 2024 List Management thread - Trade Targets Part 2

They are probably more concerned about their pin up boy Petracca atm.

I think it is more to do with the club which is valid. Some of the fans want to blow it up so there are long term changes, trading guns facilitate that.

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

There is no way if I am Fyfe or Walters, would I be looking to retire early. Especially Fyfe, who has a decent chance of being best 22 for 10 or so games next year.

They both would love a flag to finish their career.

Would love for them to win a flag but if they play on and the coaches and MC are serious and show some integrity with selections they may well not go out on their own terms and finish out their careers at Peel. Father time doesn't lose.

It amazing how different Richmond supporters are to Melbourne supporters.

Melbourne supporters are so reasonable, and then there are Richmond supporters.

The Melbourne supporters you'll be worries about haven't come to terms with the possibility of him leaving yet

I think that will be the go. Having them as backup will still be handy as I’d rather have Walters come in for a final than Emmett or Delean. They just have to accept that they will need to earn & maintain their spot. Peel games will happen and you might miss out if we are flying.

I recon Fyfe could be a great permanent sub though.

I'm fine with them playing on but if we continue to play them if they are no longer B22 just because of who they are that would be terrible.

Fyfe is cooked. Awesome player, at his best was the best in the comp.
But his kicking?? And he just doesn't have the leap. He's depth.
Sonny is just too slow, as is Fyfe.
It's sad

I agree, I think we saw a very late shift in some of the selections in 2024. Too little too late but hopefully it changed the mindset and they carry it into 2025.

Nothing wrong with going back to Peel if you are down on form and coming back in good Nick when someone else drops off. Noddy was great, Emmett had an impact on return, Wags the same.

In fairness, there was really no one banging down the door.

Once NOD found form, he was pretty quick to come into the side.

Walters is definitely in the gun if we get Bolton and Pickett, however if he’s happy to play the mentor role. Come into the team when either are injured (or in Kozi’s case, suspended) I'd think he has a role to play.

He is cooked but none of these are the reason. He was never a good kick and his leap is still pretty good. He's cooked because his back is. Can't turn around, move sideways or run out more than 70% of a game.

No, it's just there are 2 or 3 times as many Richmond supporters as Melbourne so there are proportionly more Dansters. Also like us the Dees have a prominent non bigfooty board further reducing their total representation on here.

Is reddit our prominent other board? Dockerland isn't really a thing anymore is it?

 

[Joao]

My expectations are now so high, that I'll be devastated if all we get this trade period is Bolton. Equally, I'll be flat if we get Bolton and Pickett this year and miss Chad next year.

Might be setting myself up for disappointment I think.

I'd say Reddit is the next biggest one, they skew far too positively though in my opinion, seem to just blatantly ignore anything bad and try to focus on the positives.

Most criticism is downvoted over there.

We're Freo.

Disappointment is in our motto

Ras and Brodie were racking up 35 touches every week at Peel.

Yeah, that's basically reddit full stop. It is extremely young and progressive. R/AITA is actually a surreal experience. I generally don't post much there because the set up isn't the best for discussion IMO due to how it's all formatted.

I am off the opinion, that they both can only play one position and Fyfe is filling that role.

You could argue that one of them could have replaced Fyfe, but in my opinion I don't think we get a lot of benefit from that.
Next year Fyfe should only play half the year.

If this happens would this put more pressure on JL? as surely this would easily be the best Freo list ever assembled... Multiple premierships would be possible

JL needs to be under more pressure to perform. He seems to exist in a state of suspend animation with very few consequences for his short comings (and there are plenty of them)

His record so far is very middle of the road. There should be plenty of growth left in our young squad with the possibility of additional talent coming in if things go well in the trading season.

The talent will be there and JL must perform way better or get moved on. Talent alone will not win a flag.

The Freo subreddit all hate that flagmantle campaigner so they're alright in my book.

Houston claims he's not going anywhere:

Realised Melbourne are a basket case and saints not much better lol

Ras having an extra 20 full games under his belt would have been a huge benefit. He's already dominating the WAFL and can only improve so much playing at the lower level. Some short term pain but it needs to happen. Ideally over the past 2 years when we didn't play finals anyway.

 

[DragoDelph]

So will they try to move Butters out now?

Wander how desperate Port are to get into this years first round?

 

[DragoDelph]

Cerra may end up at the Demons after all...
