List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft

[RossFC]

Thanks to Lore for the draft tracker.

Good news, we’re gonna finish bottom four.

Be nice if we had our 1st round pick then

 

[rogerjames]

If he plays like his old man then that is just what the doctor ordered.

We've never replaced Wakelin with anyone near his output. Too long ago.

 

[Rigs]

Is there a world we can get Sharp and Cochrane - if it means losing Butters and Bergman (and no NWM)

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Can we trade Rozee and lose Bergman instead?

Send Butters to Richmond and we have about an 80-100% chance of getting Sharp

 

[JHF1870]

Surely we gotta go for Riley Onley given his ability to play a TDK type role.

Keeping butters is still the better result

 

[all seeing eye]

Butters is restricted free agent, if we want him we match any offers and he stays. If he is pissed at that , then his chosen club has to find a deal or he stays. Unfortunately we do negotiate too readily and settle for unders.

Love the traits he possesses, but if you look at our midfield I'd say we need a clearance beast. Someone that can use their strength and power in contest. Currently only JHF and Wines can do that (and Wines is fading), while Butters and Rozee do the evasive moves (which is also needed). And the guy that suits that need perfectly is Sharp.

Saying that, I think Onley is definitely more versatile and perhaps has a higher ceiling.

Buckley said last year that Butters and Rozee shouldnt play in mid together because theyre both competing too much for the ball. Something along those lines. Or it might have been with JHF as a third. Id have to find the ep of on the couch

JHF is damaging forward. If we get the midfield right

Strange comment by Bucks.
Butters, JHF, Drew & Wines are the 4 that compete with each other for contested ball.
Rozee is the outside receiver type, so he can comfortably sit in the midfield mix.
When he takes a break, then he can slot on HBF or up forward.
Need to avoid putting any more than 2 of the other 4 together at any point in time, with them all being too similar.

I think the point was that they all attack, which means there's no-one left to defend. Rozee is the worst for this, runs an attacking pattern and doesn't work hard enough to defend if it doesn't pan out.

 

[all seeing eye]

Lyons engineered an extra into stoppage last week that killed us, could we do the same with a defensive mid type into the mix.

And that’s the thing, oppo coach makes a move and works, our coach doesn’t react.

My point more so being that Rozee and Butters get clearances using their legs, evading opponents and driving it out while normally JHF and Wines go in and under and use their strength and power to get clearances. We lack the latter, especially after Wines departs.

yeah your right, i guess rozee and butters methods of getting clearences are much more difficult and rarer than the conventional way, getting a luke parker type would be ideal, im sure we can find a cheap bull, taylor adams?

Nah no Taylor Adams, injured far too often and I don't trust our medicos. I'm open to Worpel

In fairness we just couldn't make it happen, and a significant part of that was players inability to execute the plan. Ross obviously played it well, and I think it's easy to discredit Saints after round 1 loss but they're a much more refined team this year and we needed more than a last minute heroic effort.

What hurt us was a low percentage play that iced the game from Sinclair. Poor disposal nearly intercepted, Sinclair grabs it and kicks from 50. I think the plan was to structure up but left that opportunity open.

A couple of times our disposal was slightly off leading to a fumble, and while still maintaining possession lost effectiveness.

Having said that, we really missed out on our opportunity to steal the win.

I think we need to re-run the numbers with Wines in the ruck.

[PortAdelFC1997]

Can our F/S prospects do a Clayton Oliver and have a belter of a season in the back half and bolt their way into 1st round contentions like in the top 10 pls?

Would certainly feel better about giving our 1st rounder to GC.Francou and Wakelin, play like mad dogs.
