List Mgmt. 2023 List Management thread

[Snuffaluphagus]

Mod notice after Mr Bob did a lot of annoying work in moving days of posts out of here. As we are heading into offseason, this thread is for 2023 list management only. Getting upset on previous trades can be taken to the vent thread. Lets keep this thread on track in the part of the year it's actually relevant

Any chance of us going for Aidan O’driscoll??

 

[Drizzy]

In the draft.

Looking at the power rankings on rookieme, that pick 10-15 range looks an awkward spot to be for our list needs. I don't want to draft anyone they have listed from 9-18 due to a combination of their size/position.

I would actually prefer lower ranked players such as Hardemann (19), Tholstrup (23), Edwards (24), Collard (27). And if they can be picked in the 20-30 range, I don't see the value in trading the farm to move up and pick someone less suited to our needs.

The only logic would be if we want Edwards (my favourite outside Collard) and he is going to go much higher than he is currently being ranked. There are only a few highlights and his output might be less. But he has size, power and burst speed. Has been compared to Max Holmes, and if that's what clubs project they are getting, then I suspect he might go a fair bit higher than people are predicting.

By the sounds of Walls interview looks like the only way we take Edward’s is if he miraculously falls to 40+. Won’t use a draft pick on him

Sounds like the type of player/person we'd consider but I basically expect all of our 50+ picks (AoD range) to be random VFL players.

I think he's talking about Charlie Edwards. He is going to bolt when combine results come out. Very impressive end to the season.

 

[King Tenz]

Last time we took a top draft pick from Melbourne with RED flags……..?????Fcuk I hope we’ve learned our lesson

I hear you but Oliver is a much better player now then what Hogan was.

Like I'd be all for it and if we win a flag in the next year or 2 because of it, it'll be more then worth it.

What would a player like Oliver cost in terms of draft picks though? You would be so hamstrung on the Contract length and financial side.

Ah gotcha

Video: Suspected AFL player appears to snort white substance | Daily Mail Online

Former Sydney Swans and GWS AFL footballer Shane Mumford filmed snorting white substance off a table.

Now if a player into this stuff were playing in WA the same rules apply for WC and Freo, where WC is the AFL player in NSW needing a massive story to make the news and the Freo player needs only the suggestion of it for front page.

This is why players "keep their noses clean" when they move to play for an AFL club in NSW and QLD. Nobody cares.

It's also why they need to stay out of WA and SA.

If he's got "issues", a lot less then what it otherwise would be.

Yes I meant Charlie Edwards as per the other poster. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[Ge3ks]

There needs to be a story of a personality clash at the club because everyone else will be very interested to run a medical and get a hair sample.

Yes! We need scientific proof that he really is a redhead.

 

[Dockeroo]

Clearly there is some sort of serious off field issue with Oliver if they are even remotely entertaining a trade.
On talent alone - my goodness I’d give two first rounders and a million a season tomorrow morning for him without even blinking. He is in the best 5 players in the AFL and at his best, would be an unbelievable addition to our midfield.

 

[greatgatsby]

The only thing I can think of besides the obvious is that Melbourne severely mismanaged his injury this year (the first of his career) and this led to a relationship breakdown. Or maybe Melbourne were REALLY pissed when Oliver told Cripps to wipe the blood off his face in the semi!

 

[Hazelsnuts]

The combine athletic testing results are going to throw those rankings out the window. A player will be thought of as a draft bolter for being taken ahead of perceived rankings by a club that traded up to get that pick.

Like a Griffin Logue type….warning to young players - needs to footy !!!

So where are we at with all these magical players JLo / Bell referenced who wanted to come to Freo?

When did he say this.

 

[A New Hope]

So we cant have both.

Billings or Sharp?

On exposed form? Billings.

Sharp can come home, work hard, and be a preseason SSP or mid-season pick if he shows someting.

Billing’s has barely got out on the park. Club won’t be interested in another ave trade in.

 

[JammoMonty]

There's simply no way that Oliver can be gettable. I find it completely bizarre it's a discussion point.

If there is actually any truth to it, those rumours on the real reason for his extended "hamstring" are going to go into overdrive

Keep your rational thoughts out of this thread.

 

[DragoDelph]

At least when fit he's shown something at AFL level though.

Sharp would be delisted if we weren't showing any interest.

I agree with your Sharp sentiment.
