Strategy Trade and List management (Add your rumour to the simmering stew that is the post season. Edition.)

[Yojimbo]

No wonder they resigned Sandilands and Ballantyne then.

Nothing can explain that, I consulted the Wise Woman and she even said Ballantyne was s**t, but she does like a big man..

 

[Yojimbo]

So what picks do we have to burn on lynch, Gowers and Greene?

Greene is not a rookie.

Both are well passed it. Can't see Sandi getting more then half a dozen games next season

 

[F3000]

Freo have pick 5, and their next pick is 77. Yikes

Wow.

 

[Pannalstaroz]

I would like to see dogs pick up Hugh Goddard as a rookie. Surely there's something to work with him.

Hugh had a footrace with treacle and was soundly beaten. He is the slowest footballer I have ever seen.

I would certainly look at Freeman as a late pick, psd or rookie

No
He has an enormous fork protruding out of him

Pick 7 and Wallis for Martin. Go dogs

Huge overs mate

 

[DogDays]

Colour me disinterested in Jack Martin. Living in QLD ive seen a fair bit of him.

can't believe someone would prefer him over Lynch. Amazed actually. Hype.

Agreed, living in QLD as well and have seen him quite a bit. Very overrated player.

I did their list profile weeks ago and I am staggered they signed them, Mundy fair enough.

 

[Mojorisin]

I'm amazed at the amount of people that want us to get a kpp in the draft or via a trade.

 

[Leviticus]

Do Campbell or Honeychurch hold any trade value or could they be delisted? I personally think we should just delist them and start shaping the list.

Campbell couldn't get a game but don't know about any trade value. But Honeychurch played 13 games in 2018. I think there is a case for giving him another 1 year contract. Plenty coming off the list before him already and then there are these persistent rumours about letting RFA's Roughead, Wallis and Dahlhaus go.

After the 3 retirements and Collins, you would think Campbell, Roberts and Webb (based on 2018 senior appearances) would be in the crosshairs before Honeychurch. That is 7 off the list and then you get to our RFA x3 issues. Could be 8 to 10 players. That is a reasonably high turnover.

I've been pretty pissed off with the list at times this year but at the moment, I'd give Honeychurch another contract...for depth because the list has to go deep to field teams for 22 matches + finals.

We're bulldogs supporters. Permanently hunting for that elusive 200cm kpp that can clunk a mark and kick bags.

How else would we fill the off-season?

Greene already on senior list
Gowers and roarke would be picks 84 and 100 something

 

[ard79]

And my faith in this list manager's ability to do that work is waning.

Especially seeing as Fergus Greene is appearing in both this year's list, and the 2019 one, with potentially double the cash required next offseason to do something they could have very easily done this year.

Gee give the guy a go. Been in the job 2 seconds. Signing Greene for 1 year is prudent list management. Signing fringe players for 2 years got us into the mess we are in.

I think people are struggling to separate his list management abilities from his football abilities

We give Honey another contract - well as MD would say - we have officially given up.

What's he going to say if we sign Jong for an other couple?? Haha...

where would you say Ben King would rate in our backline? Cordy and Naughton then King ? that's a handy key back core for the next 10 years.

Lets say one of the WA clubs come with a good deal for Adams? do we take it? If we think King is there at pick 6-9.

Don’t forget about Lewy Young. If we don’t give him opportunities, we might as well trade him now.

You mean that Tim Walsh, Wade Skipper, Simon Cox, Daniel Bandy, Trent Bartlett, Jade Rawlings, Sean Wight, Kieran McGuiness- type player who will lead us to the promised land?

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

And you don't think all good players have other clubs circling them.

Sounds like your contact is the father of a player not getting a game

I was interested in the conclusion that the fact that we had several players reaching free agency was somehow Bevos fault.

I mean of course other clubs are going show interest in free agents.

I wouldn't factor Adams into the conversation anyway. He is a beast but his legs fail him more often then not so can't have faith in him long term unfortunately.
I think Cordy and naughton would hold down the backline pretty strongly, With young as coverage. And I have faith in young becoming a best 22 Backman however that's atleast another season away. Also holding onto roberts to call apon if required. If we were to pick up a tall I'd be finding a cheap option late or ideally rookie draft, they would be nothing but depth.
(Add to this buku playing a wood type role)

We also have obvious deficiencies in other areas that need more immediate addressing. Speed clean ball use mature heads and some polish. A small forward and or classy mid would be on the top of my order with our more meaningful picks whatever they may end up being.

Ayce Cordy, Tom Williams and jaryd grant..

Doesn’t bother me

We will be bottom four next year why not keep him around he will fit right in

 

[Leviticus]

I don't know about that. Let's say we have 10 players go (including 3xRFA), 3 of the 10 spots go to our performing or promising rookies: Gowers, Lynch and R Smith. That leaves 7 spots. Draft could provide 4-5 spots + the 3 rookie upgrades. Gets interesting after that. And a lot of the new blood will be very young.

I got canned a while ago talking clearing out 13 player in one foul swoop. I've listened. It ain't that easy, no matter how pissed off at the time you are with goaless quarters and sub 50 point games.

 

[Zephiisdaman]

Yes is the short answer.

Pfft. You reckon? I remember posters a few years back wanting to sell the farm to get him in the mini draft. Glad we didn't do that.
He's handy and that's about it.

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

Ayce Cordy, Tom Williams and Chris grant..

Chris Grant for obvious reasons does not go on this list. I’m sure there are lots of others that do however.
