Strategy Trade and List management Thread Part 3 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

[Bro_Pro]

Recruited to take the pressure of Gardner while he develops...

Develops haha yeah into a list clogger

 

[SharkMeister4]

what are the thoughts on jack higgins?

could be a great pickup ive liked him since his draft year. how would people even value him

I even had a half thought of dunkley out essendon future first and jack higgins in

 

[King Harold]

A fairly underwhelming career, but I can see why we'd be interested:

AFL Tables - Jack Lonie - Stats - Statistics

View attachment 995542

Career: more behinds than goals. Tick.

2015 and 2019 impressive, but 6.14 in 12 games in 2017 a real standout.

The hard part would be whether to class him as a list clogger, or a scape goat, or both!

I prefer the term “ Whipping Boy “ to List Clogger.
Might be just me but it has more of a kinky edge to it

Be worth late second Max now really missed most of last year with his brain issue only played 10 games this year for 5 goals but definitely the type of player we should be targeting even if his misses doesn’t like us

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

I know it won’t happen but
Draper, Merrett for dunks and English
Would be perfect lol

We should throw in Macrae and Keath for Shiel and Hurley. Let’s keep down grading players

Bridges have been burnt there he is likely to end up at the blues

His mrs wouldn't be happy with that.

 

[Mattdougie]

So which one are we bringing on to help ruck ?

Hannan? D Macpherson or Lonie?

Are we now trying to rack up small/mid forwards to go with the plethora of half backs we have?

 

[Del165892]

How about Bont for Langford?

 

[whyBulldogs]

His mrs wouldn't be happy with that.

she'll change her mind quickly once she saw the offered figures on the table. Can Higgins become a next Dan Butler?

 

[Some Idiot]

Lonie feels like one of those ones where we over rate him because he tore us up last year

 

[Boyd oh Boyd]

Just on our mid rotations, I think it's odd that we've moved so far away from giving Bont time forward. Fyfe, Danger, Martin and Cripps all have big minutes forward. Smith could've easily stayed forward for another year as well. I'd love for us to go for something like

Bont: mid 65%/forward 20%/bench 15%
Macrae: mid 80%/forward 5%/bench 15%
Dunkley: mid 70%/forward 15%/bench 15%
Smith: mid 60%/forward 20%/bench 20%
Libba: mid 25%/forward 55%/bench 20%

Bont gets enough time to kick a goal a game and still have a big influence in the middle. Macrae's tank is best utilised with the most mid time. Dunkley an alright forward but best used in the middle. Smith will eventually get more time but if he can work on his forward stuff he gives us a different look up there for now. Libba has that half forward spot locked down with a couple of cameos to give others a rest.

It'll be very interesting to see how our midfield looks next year. I know there was a mention of Hunter getting time inside but I don't see how that makes us any better except by boosting our defensive application which Dunkley should cover easily.

Hannan? D Macpherson or Lonie?

I we now trying to rack up small/mid forwards to go with the plethora of half backs we have?

We've lost Dickson and may delist Gowers & Greene, and may put up Dale for trade. Considering we don't have many natural forwards or great forward depth, I don't see much problem with cheap targets.

Can count the number of natural forwards on our list on one hand

Hannah replaces Gowers
MacPherson replaces Dickson
Look at a Wright or Stef Martin if you can’t get a Goldy with a trade

Cheap targets = fringe players. Then what's the point of delist Greene and trade Dale? we'll get natural forward addition in JUH. I'm happy with trade in ruck backup (who can play forward), experienced KPD, and 1 small pressure forward (not more). and dont think we can afford more

I guess you have to trust the list management team on that one. We haven’t brought it too many fringe duds for a while. Crozier, Lloyd, Duryea, Hamling & Biggs all spring to mind that we’ve gotten good value out of.

Not every player on the list has to be a superstar, look at Richmond they’d be lucky to have more than 2 now however it’s these cheaper level players that can take you to that next level the difference in a lot of our games this year was the fact our bottom level players couldn’t step up when our top level players had an off game

You mean there are 5!!!

In that time period, the others were Cloke, Schache and Trengove.

Would it make anyone feel any better if we got him to change his name by deed poll to Neoli?...probably as close as we'll get to the elusive Rioli

I reckon we can throw Dodo and the Bombers off the scent by only discussing our player Kyle J Hudson from now on.

 

[ummmbont]

Not Martin Stephens? That was last year's tactic though - only trade for players with two first names. We got Brucey and Keathy, missed Jack Martin
