List Mgmt. 2025 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals

[Slingshot Footy]

FWIW, I have it on good authority we have approached Finbar Marley’s management about next season.

Hmm what are we trying to turn him into? A forward, an interceptor, a wingman?

The answer will gauge my enthusiasm. I like the idea of trying to convert him into that loose defender who negates the best marking forward but he’s gotta improve his kicking game otherwise those marks are worthless.

 

[Stu1961]

Not a great kick and then took too long to take his kick.

Can take a contested mark which is probably why we are interested in him.

Gee it would be nice to find someone who can mark and goal who genuinely wants to play for us

 

[dosser]

It might mean that Buller is gone and we are finding a replacement. He would even keep his old number.

 

[Superstar swan]

Jesus if we are looking at that bloke, we are in all sorts

 

[TasSixer]

Maley might be Ladhams insurance if Pete is leaving

Why not try and keep Ladhams instead who will offer substaintial output? might help if we didnt drop him after every game.

Instead of 2yrs give him 3.

I doubt that contract length is the issue. He wants to be no1 ruck. Can’t give him that.

 

[Jewelsbon]

We really have an attraction to players who can’t kick a set shot to save their life.

The idea of trading is to improve the list

Who says we can't attract big name players any more eh?


I've never heard of him.

 

[kickthething]

Funny thing is the one and only time i've noticed this guy was when he had a set shot with a minute to go to win the game and he got called play on for running down the shot clock.

It was on debut I think as well.

 

[Superstar swan]

Don’t blame Ladhams for looking around . Yea he’s up against Grundy but he didn’t deserve to be dropped after the Geelong game

But if Buller is a part of the Curnow deal then we are

 

[Superstar swan]

I know player for player trades are rare these days. But I wonder how the topic is broached with players.

Can see Ladhams becoming one of those ruckman who goes through majority of their career as a mercenary only to then become a very dedicated and serviceable ruckman in the back end at a club who desperately needs one. Hickey style.

Grundy has realistically 2 years of his best left, by then you'd bloody hope Green is ready - so not fussed with cutting Ladhams loose for his own sake. Just becomes a matter of who covers Grundy if he's not available. Maybe a reason to just stick with Mclean.

Well if you play for CFR Cluj, a leading Romanian soccer club, you get your chief sponsor to have a word;

 

[wills2g]

Wasnt Buller super accurate then came here and then his set shots being terrible?

Somehow a lot of good kicks get worse with us

Maybe if we get a shit kick they might turn good

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Have we traded our lawyer, psychologist, curator, recruitment team, boot supplier yet ?

Get it done Pav.

He still has a long way to go, and I'm not too confident he will make it.

There's been nothing yet over his first two years that gives you the thought of "okay, he can be an AFL-level player". If anything, you notice his lack of competitveness and tenacity above anything else.

 

[Punts]

Carlton have backed Voss in

I can see Curnow definitely leaving regardless of what’s said about keeping him etc

That relationship looks shithouse , saying he is willing to take pay cuts etc. Hard to mend

Nope. His 2nd half of the season this year showed a marked improvement. If this is linear then we will have a very good ruck in 2 years time.

No idea why you would want to keep a player like that tho.

Papley and going way back Rok both wanted out but never looked desperate to get the heck out of the club.

 

[tombomb]

If we had traded for the North pick last year, the Curnow deal would be pretty straight forward.

Perhaps we should move pick 9 this year into next year's draft if we think it is weak.

 

[Superstar swan]

I think we need to get pick 2 off of wce.

Buller plus whatever picks

Not a chance lol
