List Mgmt. 2022 List Management: Draft, Trade and FA

[theGav56]

This!
I was in the pocket last night and Acers was busting a** to get back there, especially in the first quarters when we were getting pounded. He spoiled 2 out of bounds and got back to even numbers, plus ran hard to provide outlets.
I don’t know of another winger in the game that offers so much defensively. Yep doesn’t have a laser like Whitfeild but I’d rather be getting this out of my winger.

He's a long way from irreplaceable and we do have emerging players on the list, but I still think a 3 year deal with the third subject to a trigger clause is a good option. He could be outside our 22 at that point and a trade could be best for both parties. But next year he is our best option.

Widely reported at the time ... here is just one of them St Kilda midfielder Blake Acre agrees to join Fremantle to unlock Bradley Hill trade deadlock. Read the whole article.

What is this "hate" you are accusing me of?

I am clearly defending him and have been a long time supporter.

My apologies mate I got you confused with another poster who called him a mercenary.

Thanks. Pretty comprehensive. At the time you'd definitely prefer Hill to Acres as they did.

I would personally love to get Ratugolea in the Purple, especially if Meek departs.

Are we still looking at selling the farm for Jackson?

 

[MrDanggazz]

If Meek doesn't request a trade to another AFL club for consistent games ill be baffled, would automatically be the best ruckman at 10 other clubs.

 

[Lach72]

Mitch with the lazy 38 and 1 goal and we’re apparently chopping him

Very competitive 2nd ruck.
I would prefer to keep him if we loose lobb and get him to cop out for Darcy when working on his forward game.
Keep our bucks and draft capital and leave Jackson at Melbourne..

Buying a house is a sign of commitment, especially for a second year player (he bought it end of last year iirc?). Obviously not always meaning they're gonna stay, but it's generally a good indication they're setteld.

Hill scenario was interesting, because building a house is definitely more of a commitment. FWIW Hill moving wasn't entirely because of money. And it wasn't because his partner was 'homesick'. There was something else behind it lol.

You have my attention.......?

Griff was definitely off tonight. Mentally checked out because he knows he's not going to be here next season? So many jumps at marks he miss timed and would always find himself behind his player in the fwd line.

Imagine thinking a player doesn't care during a finals game because he has possible "checked out because he wont be there next year"
Don't you think he would still want a premiership?

I still holding hope that he's changed his mind and wants to stay at the Dees. Same with Lobb here even if just for next year. We're a far better side that way.

Lobb is gone already bought a house in Yarraville

How ******* good is he? Was saying to a couple of mates last night, he’s going to be the best natural goal kicker we’ve ever had. The dude just has so much actual forward craft, it’s so good to watch

How bad is it that basic forward movement impresses us so much? I've been saying we need an actual leading forward for years, Cant wait to watch nev for the next 10+ years

Tongue in cheek mate. I like to talk a lot of shit.

Lobb is gone already bought a house in Yarraville

And Jackson's bought a house in Perth but his family are living there. Lobb's house in VIC will still be inhabited by his gf even if he has to stay over perth for another year. It's not like it's going to go to waste.

WAGS are an interesting bunch.

Hard no on Ratugolea. His footy smarts are just about the worst I’ve seen in the AFL in recent times.
There’s a reason the cats won’t trust him in big games

If you can't get a finals game over Rhys Stanley, you're not up to it.

This. Just because he plays for Geelong and is tall doesn’t mean he’s any good.

He’s actually a massive spud imo.

 

[JammoMonty]

Just had a bad game, thankfully the rest of the team woke up though..

Tell you who didn’t have a bad game. Serong. He is a ****ing gun. Walters with 3 goals was on last night. Pearce and Ryan great down back. Logue however was a passenger.

 

[JammoMonty]

When Walters was doing an interview straight after the win, JL walked on the ground to the players and the first to greet him with a big embrace was Serong. Was the difference last night. Next captain of Freo imo

I agree!! Serong for Captain over Brayshaw!!! Natural leader

 

[tonygeeks]

He did work hard but jeez I don’t think I’ll miss the Blake MistAcres version too much

 

[Boomer93]

Crowden 38 touches and a goal. Iv said it before in this thread but there aren't many under 24 year olds going around getting his combination of possesions, goals and good long kicking. I would love to hold on to him for another season. Mundy going, fyfe might be cooked, Tucker probably going, Erasmus and Johnson will still be teenagers. Crowden might shine next season.

 

[ignoramus]

We might look at Ed Allan for that exact reason, his combine testing will determine if we have a pick near his range. He's bigger than Acres.

Logue’s bigger too

Crowden has never transfered that wafl form into afl .. I think his cards stamped..

 

[dominguez]

Speaking of contracts. We better get Serong signed up pretty quickly on a long term deal. Clubs gonna be coming hard for him as he is out of contract next year yes?

Type of guy Clarko would love, North could easily come with a 6 year 5 million dollar deal.
