List Mgmt. 2024 GWS Giants List Management - Academy, Free Agent, Trade & Draft

[Adam Giant]

Rowbottom is a workmanlike midfielder, but the kind of "blue collar" player that complements the stars. He'd be a great foil to Tom Green and Finn Callaghan in midfield.

Definitely, especially if Peatling leaves. Defensively oriented midfielders might not make the highlights reel but are every bit as important to the team structure.

 

[Orange Agent]

Rowston or Thomas, even McMullin could become next year's Peatling. There wouldnt be many mentions of Peatling in the best 22 thread at the start of this year. We can develop players, the next one might be even better.

Then a year or two later, a Vic team offers them 7 years at $1m per season.

 

[Giant Pete]

West Coast happy to trade out pick 3 for two first rd picks…

 

[Capital hawk]

I really like Devon Robinson and if we were to lose Peatling and XOH, I'd advocate for that.
I'd be sniffing around Melbourne. Lots of dissatisfied players there I'd reckon. Although I'd love Petracca (who wouldn't) I'm looking a bit more at the middle of the list.

I think growth from within will be the clubs focus

Angus Sheldrick worth a look as an inside mid. Way down the pecking order at the Swans.

 

[PMBangers]

As a pure goal kicking forward, probably. Although McLean is probably a better all round forward/ruck option in the Keeffe mould. McDonald and Armartey are both young and could become good, but right now they're a big reason why the Swans can't score if their midfield is contained.

Amartey's 25, don't think he gets the benefit of the 'young' tag anymore

 

[Giant Pete]

The Giants should be really looking to lure out Petracca.
We would have the picks (after trading up and using future pick).
it would be huge for the publicity of footy in nsw, and the Giants.
We might have the cap if we end up losing most of these players.
We play a brand he would thrive in.
He could live in Bondi/coogee… or wherever the hell he likes!
Imagine the confidence boost that would give our midfield and whole side.
He really wants out of that side. I know he’s a very strong family guy, but I think we are one of the few sides that can satisfy a number of the elements required to make the trade happen.
Green, Petracca, Callaghan.
Go.

All 3 of those probably have more potential. Whether they have Peatlings work ethic and effort is yet to be seen.

His family are really unhappy with the Dees. If we could get them up for a tour to show how good our culture is… they might just endorse it just to get him out of there.

if we could get him here, amazing.
So much would have to happen, would be the biggest thing to happen to our club ever.

We'd have to win over his missus/partner who is big on promoting "brand Petracca".

Good Italian boy… enter Cogs…

 

[Andre the Giant]

Petracca is entrenched in Melbourne, just can’t see him leaving and we wouldn’t be able to fit him in. We haven’t been seen to be chasing anyone despite having some holes in the list. Perhaps the massive tenure deals being constantly back-ended plus upgrades coming to roost.

Why we don’t just go hard for Caleb Daniel

and Dev Robertson is beyond me especially with the potential exodus of players. Just get Kingers in there to explain a defined role and give them some love!

 

[Danny88]

So hard to believe every single article links 5 or so players leaving with absolutely no rumors of anyone coming in

Crazy

Go.

29 at the start of next year. Coming back from an horrific injury. Would be a huge risk to take on his contract.
With the depth of small forwards on our list I’d prefer to see Toby going through the midfield 40% of the time.

 

[captainMyCaptain]

So Cal on Trade Radio saying we have some level of interest in Stringer.

We have also enquired about the suns pick 12

So my intel on Jake is that clubs are wary of him not just because of some of his connections but because of perceived culture issues with his training standards and secondary efforts defensively in games.

He wouldn’t be expensive as Dons want him gone so it would be a cheap punt.

I do wonder how he could navigate an interstate move with young child, but he can still play albeit sometimes a bit selfish. High ceiling high floor play. Don’t hate it.

This would have to be so unlikely.

Apparently has links to Jason McCartney.

 

[Donflicted]

I would assume if it went through it would be for late 3rd round - 4th round picks for the bid?

not sure what hand GWS has but could be a win win for both sides?

Please dont attack me haha i usually go for GWS every September lol

Would assume it would be relatively later, with Essendon happy to have him off the books.

Personally, I'm not a Stringer fan, and I wonder how he would benefit our forward set-up.

At the moment, I'll digest that news.

 

[captainMyCaptain]

Would make sense to consider Stringer if we think Toby didn't just have an off year. But will fall off the cliff as fast as Haynes did in going from an all Australian in '19 and be totally cooked within 12 months.

I understand why people are so put off when his good his flying but when his bad its awful

With Dodo gone and with an actual "list manager" now hopefully the Dodo relationship won't impact our trade relationship any longer

Honestly personally happy to have a small take Stringers spot on the field we feel too top heavy with the current setup we have
