List Mgmt. 2015 general list discussion and speculation - PLEASE START NEW THREAD ON BREAKING NEWS

[The rabbi]

Maybe. Schroder is a Liston medal winner after all.

I would not be surprised if Shredder did quite well at another club.

Just reading an article on the AFL website and it reminded me that we had the money to recruit Shaw last year... Will be intrigued to see what goes down in this trade...

Which article manboob ?

Im sure he is reasonable at his job but I do question his depth of trade/draft. He went neg. hard when Melb traded to get Tyson and not for the first time has shown a lack of anything other than reporting the obvious. But he does report it very well.
And he has a point.
If we had the money for Shaw , I do wonder how we are structuring our payments. Are we setting ourselfs up for the ability to get a big fish? A Danger.ious fish? Or do we thing there are other more gettable players?.

We have had too many S's and we lost one of them to Hawthorn

I reckon the MC / List managers were a bit shy on the FA recruiting with HMac and Rivers both injured for quite a while in 2013.

Lol- just read that an hour ago and recognised your reference above.

Lots of J-S's, as it happened
And we STILL have too many of them!
One went back to the 2s last weekend, another was sub in the seniors game and one is our captain and won't be going anywhere!

HUN listed today that injuried Cats stars Dan Menzel and Nathan Vardy both extended their deals on the AFL lsit for 1 more year.

Menzel is now good till end of 2015, not sure of when Vardy is thru till now....

I wonder what type of contract Menz would be on , and what he would sign for.

I cant find the online link but it was small pice in the sports section of today under " Injured Cats get Extension" or similiar.

Prob Menz has a low $ deal that is enough to carry him, protect us, and more importantly keep him listed to us in the event of nothing but good things happening for him!

Vards I have no idea... maybe another year at the average of his current deal...

Total guess work...

Its just seem so long since we have seen 10 on the ground yet both players are 09 draft and both have played 21 games.

 

[vivien]

Any thoughts on maybe rookie-ing Matt Sully??

 

[manboob]

That's really good form by the club, it says injuries happen, but we don't expect the player to pay the price of that so to speak.

 

[The rabbi]

Any thoughts on maybe rookie-ing Matt Sully??

I think that he has been overrated by some on this board. I think that he is a reasonable VFL player and not much more.

 

[dazbroncos]

Any thoughts on maybe rookie-ing Matt Sully??

He has been around for 3 years and we have never taken him. As Rabs said, he is a very very good VFL player but every once and while he just misses something badly and it ends up going really badly.

Ive been a fan of his too and, for example, against Coburg he was great. Playing at his best…. but then these moments appears and it is just not good.

He may make it onto another list elsewhere….. but I still like the way he plays…

[cats_09]

Good news about Menzel and Vardy, and listening to Scott post match its not too surprising to hear of Menzel getting an extension. When Scott was asked what his ideal forward set-up is, without hesitation he replied "Hawkins, Vardy & Menzel, but we won't have 2 available this year". That says how highly rated Menzel still is at the club (at least by Scott), so not surprising to hear he has been given an extension to have a shot next year.

 

[The rabbi]

He has been around for 3 years and we have never taken him.

And neither have any of the other 17 clubs in the competition.

 

[TheJimmyCartel]

No way. Seen a bit of of him and he gets burned badly off the mark and left for dead on the lead. Would be worse vs AFL quality forwards.

He can away with it a bit in the VFL but see a lot more in JK, Blicavs and Hamling for our future backline.

Not sure how much you can read into it but the Facebook page AFL draft, trade, free agency, list and general news" claims we are interested in Sydney's Tim Membry, with Carlton and bulldogs heavily chasing him, and also significantly interested in GWS matthew buntine along with hawthorn

 

[rocker_oz33]

As we know Geelong like to grow there own.But in the new age world of free agency will many players want to come to Geelong V's the Melb teams eg lifestyle etc.

Pardon my ignorance but what types of players are they?

 

[rocker_oz33]

Pardon my ignorance but what types of players are they?

Tim MembryA tall forward and Buntine is a 189cm defender whos was a high draft pick whos only played 11 games in 3 years for GWS.

 

[Pivo]

Pardon my ignorance but what types of players are they?

From my recollection Membrey is a similar sort of player as Kersten.

That is, a leading forward who is a good kick at goals.

He might have expanded his game a bit in his time at the Swans .

Probably wasn't helped by the headline "...Could Be The Next Jack Darling"

[TheJimmyCartel]

Pardon my ignorance but what types of players are they?

Membrey from memory is a good size forward and rated pretty highly but will never break into that forward line now, Kersten like size if I'm not mistaken...I'll double check.


edit: Bit smaller than Kersten, 188/90kg, kicked 47 goals in the NEAFL last year.
