List Mgmt. List Management 2025-26

[Ford Fairlane]

Maynard would be a very handy `campaigner,' but I suspect if he wore a Power jumper he wouldn't get away with the regular cheap shots he does for the wobblers and would be watching quite a few games from the side lines.

And his dad would probably disown him.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

So he decided to go to the Bombers?

Hey, no mismanagement there!

No one ever tested positive, but I can breathe underwater now.

 

[Us against the rest]

So he decided to go to the Bombers?

Probably more just to get out of Port and to a Vic club, who knows.

 

[Us against the rest]

I said it a few years ago that we should have let Wines go and recruited Matt Crouch for a bag of chips, people laughed at me and look at what has happened now. Crouch wins the ball on the inside and delivers cleanly to the other mids, Wines constantly makes silly turnovers at crucial moments, usually the weak link in our plays through the middle

I like Ollie but I've said it before, he's one of the worst Brownlow winners I've seen.

Why? He was easily top 3 that year and we finished top 2. You could only really argue that Oliver had a better year. Definitely not Bont, not as consistent as the other two.

What he did in other years is completely irrelevant.

Anytime a club takes one of your better players you try to get them back so I'd definitely throw some big coin at Maynard

This discussion always confuses me.

Nobody who watched his 2021 season could argue he didn't deserve to win the Brownlow, it felt like he was best on ground every week.

If the accusation is that he as a player and his career in general don't live up to other Brownlow medalists then cool ... but how exactly is that supposed to be a criticism? Oh among the likes of Dustin Martin, Patrick Dangerfield, Nat Fyfe, Gary Ablett, Chris Judd, etc, he's one of the worst. I mean, yeah, lol?

Turns 29 this year though. If we are to rebuild he's wasting the end of his career coming here.

Wines is a good player but I don't think I would put him in the same class as some other winners, like Lachie Neale, Nat Fyfe, Dustin Martin, Patrick Dangerfield, Gary Ablett, Chris Judd, Nathan Buckley, Adam Goodes, Jimmy Bartel, just to name a handful.

Agree as far as an individual year, Ollie was great the year he won it but as an over all career I think he was just a solid player.

Yeah cool. I’d agree. Not relevant at all though. Especially considering many of those players weren’t even playing in 2021.

Who was better that year? Oliver is the only one your could reasonable argue was better.

 

[El_Scorcho]

The Brownlow isn't a "best player over several seasons" award. It's for the best midfielder of the year. Plenty of good not great players have won it. Tom Mitchell, Adam Cooney, Matt Priddis etc.

But Wines did it with 36 votes. He was brilliant that year, standing up in every game.

 

[Andre]

Where are our talls? We get a couple of injuries and we're playing a half-cooked Soldo as a key forward.

I like Berry and Moraes, they are good players but we keep drafting flanker after flanker.

Now we have our new structureless game plan and we don't have the hardness to play it.

Part of this is the cowardice and inability to admit any wrong choices by the current lot at the club. Flankers are safe picks, they don't win or lose games off their own boot often and unless McEntee level 'shouldn't be on a list', will generally look like the list team picked an at least serviceable player.

KPP's / rucks though, that's risky. You're going to get a lot of busts, in amongst the few good ones. Smart clubs understand this means you keep picking them, even if your list already has plenty, because not all are going to even reach serviceable level. Their list management teams have enough belief and knowledge to take the misses, as part of the journey to getting the drafting hits. Port though, sees the risk and grabs just enough to have some, but never enough to ride out the many busts you get with KPP's and rucks, to get enough quality ones.

Combine not drafting enough KPP's/rucks to begin with, with poor development and refusal to play them and here we are in KPP purgatory.

Wines is also comfortably better than Priddis and Cooney across his career.

Some people listen to their Crowie mates too much.

The Brownlow isn't the Hall of Fame. Wines season was truly phenomenal. Better than Grays 14. Better than Tredreas 04. Better than Wanganeens 03. He was almost our best player in every game he played that year.

Crouch still ****ing sucks lol

He deserved the Brownlow, but better than Tredrea 04 is a stretch. There's playing great games, then there's putting the teams on the shoulders and dragging everyone with you when needed. It's a hard to define thing, but anyone who watched Tredrea at his peak (inc. 2004) would say there are games where it was his presence as much as the touches that won us games. Ollie was great in his Brownlow year, but he wasn't a 'drag your side with you' player, that brought those around him into the game like Tredrea was.

At best wines is an average player, our obsession with mediocrity is sickening.

I don't think we have to rebuild though. We've still got a gun midfield so I think with a new coach that changes the attitude around the place, a better game plan and some strengthening in areas around the ground we can improve pretty quickly.

Average players don't win Brownlows. Willem Drew is an average player. Wines is multiple levels above that.

Not just Leek in that list that I'd take, Busslinger, Hayes, Hustwaite, Robertson are people I'd consider too. Quite big on Alex Davies too
