List Mgmt. 2020 Draft and Trade Hypotheticals

[S120]

Not sure how you can be happy with the list atm and just want internal improvement to get you from 2nd worst percentage and 3rd bottom

4th worst percentage*

List management strategy is poor imo

No, you just don't get it man.

I think it is highly unlikely Buckley would have said that to any player, let alone Treloar.

Wow they can make up some sh1t

 

[Kiama Chris]

No way , won’t last

Play vfl first and see what happens

If he comes to us for sure he will play VFL for a time. IF he's cleared I think he's worth the risk.

Considering we could probably get Paddy on a rookie contract with a trigger for a cheap extension we could put him in the VEAFL for the first few months and see how he goes. I certainly wouldn't be opposed to it.

No, you just don't get it man.

We need senior players to help user through the kids,

Playing a team of 80% 50 gamers or less just doesn’t work. Ask go, Carlton, melb etc

also said that Hickey is looking to get back to the east coast for family reasons with his wife and kids. So that might explain how this came about in the first place.

Hickey did OK when he filled in for a whole season. Should be welcomed. Last chance to make his mark.

If this bloke was an actual journalist he'd be contacting Pies players. You don't think Pendles would be only too happy to shoot this down if it's a bunch of crap? If not, then you can actually add some substance to the story other than "I would find it staggering"....

I agree

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

List management strategy is poor imo

Long haul strategy no quick fixes.

 

[Kiama Chris]

Seems to me like we're unlikely to go for DGB. I know nothing about him as a player other than on paper, but with McCartin firming to stay in defence, Aliir wanting to play as a permanent defender and also Melican on board along with Rampe, Mills, and Gould, I don't see much space for him.

Seems to me that we'd be either wanting a KPF like Thilthorpe/McDonald or a top line midfielder like Phillips/Hollands.

100% that

 

[Superstar swan]

Long haul strategy no quick fixes.

If they’re going long haul, you wanna make sure the kids we have are certain stars or capable of becoming a great team. Otherwise it’s a massive gamble that can set you back a decade

Yer i agree just looks like the direction we have been going since 2018.

GWS - Riccardo Himmelberg Finlayson Hogan
Swans - Buddy

 

[MarkP]

Sort of disappointing we sitting back but not unexpected.

 

[RUNVS]

Sort of disappointing we sitting back but not unexpected.

We need a ruckman but I don't think we have any other super glaring structural needs.

 

[BloodySwan]

McDonald
Thilthorpe
Hollands

whoever is available in that order I would expect us to pick

 

[Syd]

And we all know how that worked out.

Won them a flag.

Should say I agree with you it is nuts.

Not to discount Tom's outstanding perfomace on that day, BUT his performance did not win them that Grand Final.
3 fellas in yellow contributed far more to that "victory***"

 

[robbieando]

We have two highly rated academy prospects and no one wants to touch Pick 3, yet expect the club to pull trades out of the hat for quality players left, right and center using 3rd and 4th Round Picks. Some people really need to understand they can't have it all and nor can the club.

This was coming from a mile off.

 

[BloodySwan]

So next year we get Gawn & Cripps? We're just banking salary cap at this rate

anyone know if the Charlie Trade Radio piece has been saved down anywhere - I missed it live.

 

[CowFos]

McDonald
Thilthorpe
Hollands

whoever is available in that order I would expect us to pick

I think it’s quite likely that both McDonald and Hollands are gone by our pick.

In that instance I hope we would go for Phillips over DGB or Thilthorpe
