List Mgmt. Hawk's List Management 2023

[Strapping Young Lad]

As they are with Serong.
Same height as DGB but 10 months younger

Doesn't have half the talent though.

 

[Brant]

Blanc is another David Mirra
Great Box Hill servant but not up to AFL standard

The difference being Blanck's age & physical attributes, compared with those of Mirra.

He's 5ish years younger (?) when drafted & genuine KPD size.

If he's teachable, he has plenty of time to develop.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Hope I'm wrong but I see nothing from jeka to suggest that he's ready to take the CHF position and make it his own.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Because he’s from SA.
Pretty obvious why SYL would suggest it really

So Sa has decent talent in that end not sure he is above what they already have in defence.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Morris, O'Hara and Jeka would be the ones closets to the chopping block as it stands, Bramble, Koschitzke and DBG next in line

BGB is safe

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Likely in trouble:

• Bramble
• Morris
• Long
• Jeka
• Kosi
• O'Hara
• Serong
• Mitchell

Bramble and Kosi in particular have been given golden opportunities to prove they have what it takes, and neither have taken said opportunities as yet.

I don't see how the others will be given enough chances to really show that they should retain their spots on the list. Not all of them will be delisted or moved on though, so a few will be lucky and will survive.

 

[FB19]

It’s also about balance there’s no way any of the rucks are in trouble after last year. I think the most likely right now of being off the list would be Mitchell Kosi Serong. I think we should have minimum list changes this year given the FA market not great and only having 2 decent picks. If we can acquire an additional high end pick m, one of the other F/S comes on or we trade, then that will certainly throw the cat amongst the pigeons!

And the right attitude. You can’t teach that.

That is why we are trying to find another KPD or even two.

 

[Yardie]

Ben McKay is a RFA. I'd play him fwd.
Throw the sink.

This would only work if you could get his "twin" out of Carlton. Then we could see what he could do playing only once per week.

 

[Tanami]

We have struggled getting FA and talent through the door.

The last trade period was a good example.

People thinks its just so easy.

Ummm, we bought in a FA and 2 players via trade without giving up a first or second round pick.

Most clubs would love to have been able to do that.

 

[Tanami]

Ummmm......we need top end talent not fringe players.

As much as Amon has been great.....he hasn't set the world on fire.

Meek missed a goal from 8 metres out that went out on the full.

This just shouldn't happen.

We need players that are elite that can take the game on. Understand pressure and make THE RIGHT DECISION.

If you think last years intake was top end talent you are easily pleased my friend.

Meek has played 7 games of AFL football

Relax

I love these hot takes at Round 3 of the season. No better than Barrett.

 

[Tanami]

It's not a hot take.....its an observation.

What's Barrett got to do with it ??

Is this the go to line in this room ?

 

[Jazzfan]

And the right attitude. You can’t teach that.

Do you have any insight into the role the club sees DGB developing into, given our desire for Key Defenders?

 

[Jazzfan]

Relax

True.

But he's 24, built like a mountain and had an awful moment where he ducked his head anticipating contact.

That stuff just can't become the norm for any player, let alone one who's value is really is about physicality.

Hopefully he responds this week.

Does this suggest that Blanck doesn't have the right attitude?

 

[bigmaxi]

I want to see ML play alongside Greene before I decide what his ceiling is (like my opinion on this topic matters, lol). I think Greene being the polar opposite to Kosi might really be a great foil for ML. Insofar as Greene's stats might not change but his impact does as he creates space for ML rather than getting in his way. At any rate, I certainly think he's a fine player to have on the list for the next season or two as we search for and phase in our next KPP.

I agree, I really see Green as an opportunist forward, terrific with the chaos ball or roving the pack mark or getting seperation, if he gets a chance at this and puts on his kicking boots we might see a different player. Added to that he is a great club man well loved by all. While building a team and enduring the highs and lows these personalities are a must to have.

You've waited 3 Rounds to declare our recruits are fringe players.
You're writing a 24yr old ruckman off for being clumsy in front of goal with an attempted checkside.

You're no better than Barrett.

This thread just feels like a melt now haha

Wow...the guy made a mistake..

That should never happen, ever!

One kick and you have summed him up.

I'm sorry, your comment is just nonsense.

A little bit of all of us died at that moment

Jeepers were only three rounds in, a bit hard to call one way or the other on Meek, Amon, Stephens, Weddle ( Used trade in draft pics to help get him) and the other draft picks.

With an open check book, a new training centre and a young coach and list of players improving all the time, we will attract f/a in the near future.
