I think this part is pretty big as you've said. Going into this off-season it should have been well known that there would be quite a list roll-over and while it seems unlikely we'll net ourselves any big name players, we should be chasing those who have failed to break into their teams 22 due to a depth in a position that we view ourselves as lacking (like we did with Lynch, Jenkins, Jacobs etc) - similar to our overload of inside mids which we're now seeing a couple go. You'd hope someone like GWS might be a team where we've been talking to some of their younger guys to try make them request a trade to Adelaide.

If we know anything about our list management since JR took over, this year we will:
- give one or more albatross contracts we will come to regret (Jenkins)
- overvalue favourite son stat-chasers (Gibbs)
- undervalue “non statistical” unfashionable team players (Lyons, Charles, CEY)
- ruin team balance (4 mid size mid pace mid skill ball magnet pack to pack mids; zero genuine contest winners; zero outside run and pressure)
I look forward to our midfielders all going for 30 possessions per week in a losing team.
List management is IMO the worst performing area of our club. We have learned nothing from the awful 2017 period.
It’s Knight and no he’s not soft. Opposite. Great tackler and tagger. Can kick a goal but doesn’t get enough of the ball
IMO 2017 was still the remnants of Walsh and we were playing a different game-plan which suited the players we had, even made Jenkins look like a superstar. It failed on the most important day thou so Pyke started to move to his way.
Irrespective of if Pyke's game-plan would have been a winner or not, it clearly didn't work with the players we had on the list.
So is that on list management or the coach?
There is only so many players a list can turn over each year.
Due to danger leaving and brads injuries, only Matt has stepped up. Look at how Geelong use Selwood now, unfortunately Sloane has still had to shoulder much of being number 1 mid.
If he could play wing all year and no in the middle, he will be good for us and is deserving of his contract

Sloane isn’t the player he once was. Hasn’t been for 2-1/2 years. You have just said it yourself. He’s not even first choice midfield anymore. You don’t give an $800k x 5 year contract to a near 30 year old to play wing. Everyone knows he isn’t good enough to lead our midfield anymore. That’s exactly why he isn’t deserving of that contract.
Brad’s probably the closest we’ve got to a player that “deserves” a contract like that. But personally I wouldn’t want us to give it to him. He is one of the least damaging mids in his class in the AFL. He is a butcher. He doesn’t chase his opponent hard enough/long enough. And he his body is unlikely to hold up for a 5 year contract. You see better players than Brad end up leaving GWS for a packet of chips because their bodies didn’t hold up.
It’s unfortunate. The one player that really was worthy of that big contract was Danger. To compensate for a feeling of inadequacy of not being able to hold on to him we seem to be throwing around deals to guys that don’t deserve it. It’s time to stop trying to prove to the world that we can hold on to players by overpaying undeserving players in order to keep them.
I truly hope this Nick Robertson talk is rubbish.
If we want a tagger we already have Knight and Kelly.
Reminds me of our futile chase for the Lions’ Selwood back in Craig’s day. Blegghh.

Robertson is a big upgrade on Knight. Runs as hard, is bigger and stronger.
Wouldn't have him in the best 22 though.

How about we move Knight on & try one of our younger guys as a run with player. Eg. Polholke or Gallucci.
We need to rebuild our midfield & would prefer we give our own guys who have lacked opportunity rather than bring in a fringe player from another side.

What talk? It was mentioned once about a week ago with nothing since. It's just one of those names that pop up sporadically and we never hear of them again.

Physically I think Poholke could do the job, probably gets him around the ball more and he will hurt his opponent moving forward.

I actually have a large degree of empathy for West Coast regarding
Tim Kelly ( & Tim Kelly himself)
The Vic mentality when it suits
He can go home to WA - 2 Clubs
The Geelong Club and their BF supporters are so hypocritical if you look at what we had to endure with Dangerfield
He nominated Geelong when there was 9 other home in Melbourne
People not understanding Kelly is out of Contract status
You look at Geelong BF board
Infractions for anyone who comes on with Kelly in a WCE guernsey
Hell its laughable. We went through hell with that lot

If we lose Sauce do we get another pick or an upgrade of 47?
What if we bring one more player in...how does it work?

We won’t get an upgrade. We will either get nothing or another 3rd round. Possibly pick 48.
If we bring a free agent in, we should lose a pick we have gained
Every player is an individual transaction. They are based on their own ability. You can not group them together to get one great pick.

Pretty sure if we were to bring in a FA, it wipes that picks out.
Equally, without any reference (so could be horrifically wrong), I think it's you get another pick for another player lost to FA.
I think Sauce gets traded. Paperwork would already be in otherwise.
