List Mgmt. 2024 Draft - Post Trade Period Edition

[Rubber Hips]

How can anyone watch the Lalor highlights and still say he isnt the #1 pick?

strength, skill, speed, aggression

has it all

Yep…get on board…express to Lalor

Quality article, highly recommend. Someone in the AFL industry talking about how to incorporate data and evaluate player quality in both a player recruitment sense and match day environment

Beyond the Eye Test: how analytics is reshaping footy

Wherein I chat with someone who works in AFL list management about their career arc, talent identification, and clubs becoming more data-driven.

Brilliant article.

If I were to hazard a guess then it would be Glen Luff (ex 15+ years at champion data) originally at North as the interviewee, I think he's now part of the Bloos list management team. Proper guru with regard to analytics.

Fascinating insight re Jagga, what I find more pertinent though is the statement about players that are being touted as high draft picks and that they wouldn't have them anywhere near there.

Who are those players?

Travaglia?
Armstrong?
Tauru?
Allan?
Reid?

Current 2025 List

View attachment 2163709


Wondering if Colina can still be classified as a Cat B rookie for a 5th year since they made the change back in August that allows for rookies with under 10 games to get extra eligibility. If that was the case then we would still re-draft him as promised.

Would see the list become:
28 senior listed
6 Cat A rookies
2 Cat B rookies

Leaving the 8 spots to be filled at the draft as Yze was suggesting would happen in the video yesterday.

Tylar Young is already 26?????
Needs to change his name to Tylar Oldcodger

Unless a DFA is added and/or SSP. Got a feeling the Naismith experience will leave em gun shy. RFC loves the SSP draft.

Knobel in the DFA or draft Whitlock

Given Cal Twomey flagged it a couple of weeks as a potential pick at 10, you’re probably right.

Did he? Didn’t watch or hear. Maybe I’ll keep what I know to myself smartarse

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

I heard Luke Trainor may have concussion issues

 

[Coach_Required]

The thing with Lalor and Smillie is that they will both be super dangerous resting forward.

As much as I've always wanted FOS, and have been off Smillie given his "limp" arms, if we get those 2 we have two beastly midfielders that are huge forward threats too.

The hard part is, can you build a midfield with Ross, McAuliffe, Lalor, Smillie, as well as Hopper and Taranto? Where is the speed? Would really love to somehow get Jagga too...

Won't be the only draft where we get first crack at a top mid. We aren't going anywhere for a few seasons

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Jack Whitlock definitely in our eyesight at 10 or 11.

That pick is way too high fir him imo.

 

[THE_GUN]

I heard Luke Trainor may have concussion issues

Nah just a headache

 

[Coach_Required]

Ok I know everyone loves my posts and keen to get my expert opinion so here's my list wish and if you don't agree youre 100% wrong and a failure.

1. Want Lalor ... Not FoS
2. Don't trade up for pick 2
3. Smillie or Smith, hopefully one is on the board at our 2nd pick
4. Really want Lindsay
5. Jack Whitlock
6. Alex Dodson
7. Trade one pick into 2025 first round draft

 

[Ancient Tiger]

That pick is way too high fir him imo.

It depends how they rate him. I think he’s more an 18 pick but who knows how the recruiting team scores them.

 

[tiger_tough]

No Lockwood

 

[Ancient Tiger]

I think Blair is playing this beautifully.

Everyday there’s no trade, every day the desperation by all teams wanting some of our picks increases and thus the deals they offer improve for us.

Blair is becoming a club legend!

Don't need Dodson if we take Whitlock as a ruck/forward.

Berry instead of Dodson

7th pick to go on Oliver

8th pick, take or trade, depending on Colina's situation

 

[THE THIN MAN]

Why on earth would we retain Colina, he has been even more useless than the human statue.

 

[THE_GUN]

#1 - Law - La
#6 - Jagga , Smelly , Viking
#10 - #13 & #29
#11 - Reid , Berry , Hotton
#13 - Reid , Berry , Hotton , J Whitlock
#18 - M Whitlock , Shannahan ,
#20 - NorF F1
#23 - Bummers F1
#24 - St Kilda F1
#29 - Gerryn , Faul , Dodson

 

[sanaya]

I would personally much rather us pick gerryn over dodson if we were to pick one



and I say that as someone that has watched gerryn's highlight vids a few times and have watched zero footage of dodson so you know I'm impartial

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but trading of picks came to an end on friday afternoon last week and wont re open until draft night!

I still agree he has played it well though.

 

[Danog]

Probably a condition of Balta's deal. 1 more year for his mate to prove himself.

That hasn’t stopped his phone ringing……

I think a lot of this came down to how we managed his injury as a club.

Apparently we managed his back very very poorly and he was not impressed at all.

I think with the change of fitness staff we owe it to him and ourselves to give him a proper crack at seeing what he can do.


for the games he played I actually thought he showed some good progression. we just need him out there more often to see him grow.

Maybe a new type of future lawsuit - compensation for being Meehaned!

I've done a 180 on Dodson, he's a proper talent. I know rucks take forever but he looks blue chip, we're in a good position to invest in him now and it may pay real dividends. No idea if the go-home factor is an issue though
