Who are our list management people in the mens department and who are they in the womens?

Can we get the one's looking after the womens list management to do both? :rolleyes:
They can start by teaching Brady what a cat b rookie list is
 
You can add my name too.

AFLW and we're the Chinese government in Mao's Last Dancer screening every kid in every town for viable athletes.

AFL and we just use the AFL site Phantom Draft as our research.

We are an AFLW Club now. The AFLM is just the sideshow.

Here a tip, why don't we second the AFLW list manager into the same role in the AFLM? We could probably do worse.
 
You'd think a key back would be the priority but looking at the contract table we are going to have to pay up big time to get a top tier key defender in the right age bracket (24-28y.o) as the vast majority of them are tied to long term contracts. Realistically I think none of them are an option, except maybe De Koning and Caminiti.

I'd offer ridiculous money to try get Buckley out of GWS though.

Josh Worrell (2033)
Jack Payne (2029)
Jacob Weitering (2031)
Zac Reid (2028)
Brennan Cox (2030)
Sam De Koning (2027)
Sam Taylor (2032)
Jack Buckley (2030)
Anthony Caminiti (2026)
Tom McCartin (2027)
 
So now that we've lost out additional list spots and PPs are no longer something to look forward to.
Has anyone a list of all the PPs we got and the sum return of those.
Eg I think Hardeman was a PP for us .

Anyways I don't think we did well out of it, but cannot be sure.
Thanks in advance

Throw $2m a year at Taylor.

And the captaincy.

And a share in all future cafe profits.

Just start throwing you names?

Ok, I'll locate them and you can place them in whatever category suits your argument.

In the words of Viktor Navorski "50/50".

Luke McDonald
Bailey Scott
Tarryn Thomas
Hardeman
Duursma
Dawson

....

Trembath was 2nd pick in mid-season draft, so for us... that's a barnstorming victory.

Our PP's were akin to getting a $20 bonus bet on your TAB account that you had to use by the end of the day or they expired.

Dawson was linked to a pick we got from Carlton. In the Fisher trade I assume.

Hardeman is in the same areas. Maybe Stephens trade?

Goad looks like he may have been our own pick.

I'm guessing though. Could be miles off.

Nothing makes me angrier than opposition fans saying "you got more than Carlton or Collingwood" or whatever.

Even I can remember the picks we received but had to trade because our future success was going to render them useless.

Yeah mate.

If it wasn't us it would be funny.

In total: F2, F3, 3 end of first round picks, and two extra rookie spots for three years.

We turned that into Logue, Tucker, ....... after that it gets complex because the extra picks were combined with other picks and trades for Stephens and Fisher. But roughly Hardeman and an 'upgrade' of someone like Logan Morris to Will Dawson.

The extra rookie list spots were used to increase the size of our potato farming operations.

Not a great return.

I think teh threat of losing the picks wasn't helpful, also it seemed there wasn't a win amount, more just a feeling.
GC in 2019 got PP#1 PP#20
2020 they got mid first round and per draft selections. NFI what " pre draft" worked out to be??
2021 Pick #20 Nat draft. FYI they won 5.5 games in 2021.
It's laughable the way we allow ourselves to be treated by the AFL. How the heck will we ever really compete.

Back on PP's for all our selections, we have Hardeman and have fingers crossed for Dawson and maybe Stephens who has some run in his legs.

Good grief, a lot of noise for next to not much

They also got that #1 pick so they could get BOTH Rowell and Anderson to limit the risk of either of them leaving.

Farcical stuff.

I reckon the extra spots had a net disadvantage. You water down the list and it effects the top end as well. Every drill at training is compromised. Pretty Soon its hard to pick the eagles from the turkeys and its evident on matchday.

Like it or not I think player contracts are much, much less of an issue (outside of price) than they have ever been. Our job is to get good enough and have salary cap available. I don't think a player not being out of contract for another year or two is the deal breaker it was. If we are pushing hard up the ladder with a wealth of young talent that has development ahead of them players will come IMO.

This is the most perfect metaphor I've seen in years. Right down to the implications about the AFL and it being a slimy organisation.

That's an interesting take.

If you used it as a virtual Cat B list it had potential. Take some swings at high risk types. Maley was a decent punt in that regard.

Some of the others were less inspiring.

You have plenty of room to take swings, this is effectivly what we did with river stevens, though a rookie deal for 1 year might have been more suitable. But for every clogger like ccj, fisher , corr and tucker you have on the list it negates a look at the speculative types like spicer and co.
 
How the heck will we ever really compete.
Resigned myself to the fact that we won't.

We self sabotage too much and the AFL has no interest in small Melbourne based sides winning anything.

I have come to think I will never see us win an AFL flag again.

More drafted talent than we've ever had in our history and we cannot climb out of bottom 4.

Somewhere along the line we lost what made us strong. We require a cultural shift and who knows where or how that is going to happen.
