List Mgmt. 2024 Trade Thread - No.3

Its nothing to do with hindsight.

The surgeon and club medical staff would have known the full extent of damage and condition of his knee after his arthroscopy in the preseason.

Can the club surgeon and club medical staff buy me a lotto ticket and tell me the winning numbers? Can they give me the trifecta in the Melbourne Cup? I didn’t know the club’s medical staff could predict the future.

If Paton goes to Sydney I’m going to go in to their welcome thread and say some kind words.

FFS medical science is obviously a lot more advanced than your understanding of knees...

Siposs looked like Goddard 2.0 when Watters played him at half back.

Richo was adamant he play forward and that was the end of him. For all the talk about Richo being the best development coach in the game (something I subscribed to) he sure did stuff a few kids up.

Siposs, Lee & Saad all went backwards.

Dunstan & Acres being played forward instead of on ball.

The constant flip flopping with Hickey & Longer.

Geez that was a dark time...

I got to know a player back then and he reckoned Richo was absolute shit at development. Gave a set of markers that were consistently met and he'd change the markers and gaslight the players. Played limited favourites because they'd be happy to play his boring harm minimisation game plan. No vision for improvement.

Yeah some big concepts, your tiny brain must have exploded.

The nuffie side of my brain found it very nourishing.

What do you mean side?

 

[Tommy Wigs]

So 8, which is actually 11, and 32 which is actually 36.
For 19 which is actually 23, 22 which is actually 26 and 44 which is probably 47.

11 & 36 for 22, 26 & 47

I'm still not getting it tbh.

I’ve seen better public toilets than that deal

Wasn't Richo a development guru at Port before we got him?

Just on Membrey, I don't think we could have offered him two years. First half of this season he was shocking, had a fantastic last six weeks but most of this year and last year he was injurred or poor

I think a lot of that had to do with our crappy ball movement at the start of the year but either way Membrey turns 31 next year, if he wasn’t finished by next year it would probably be the one after. Loved him but it was time to move on.

There’s a pay phone on McKillop.

It will ring twice and stop. Leave it and wait for the next ring.

God yes. Which is not what is instructed at training. Midfield puts too much pressure on all other parts of the game.

We also lost him for personal reasons for a while.

We have Hayes, Sharman , and Caminiti. Membrey may be better than them all, but he wont be in 3 years.

Does anyone else find it mildly satisfying that other clubs are picking up players that we’ve deemed we don’t need?

I know a player who was there when Richo coached. He got told by Richo the day before he ended up getting delisted that they were going with him the following year…absolute ****wit.

Yes.

Be cool if Jack Hayes could get a gig somewhere else, one of the SA clubs in particular. Seems to have his body and fitness in good shape, is there chance Adelaide or Port can squeeze him onto their list for next year?

Similarly, a player I’ve come to know who played for us during this time said the feeling was “just get the ball to Stuv” and the playing group had no direction on a game plan other than “effort”.

And during Richo’s last year at the club, he became very reclusive outside of offical team training or meetings. Not even an acknowledgment in the hallways or a general chat during post training lunches.

I love this kind of stuff in here.

I believe it's actually called the "Malcolm Blight Technique" designed to achieve laser like focus in communication.

Basically, outside of official club sessions, the coach doesn't speak to anyone other than his caddy!

He also only refers to the players by number or hair colour, to avoid any overly friendly personal relationships with them.

This leaves him capable of functioning without fear or favour when it comes time to make, sometimes brutal, playing list decisions......
