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

Second time for Wehr, I don't really get it because I thought he started this year as a rookie.

Maybe Derksen goes to the main list, might be better trade wise come end of 2025.

 

[Giant Strides]

Would we try and move 37 in front of the smith bid?

I assume there's a decent chance that we will. Probably only need to move it into the low 30s, but of course, the problem of that is what we would need to "pay" in terms of draft capital to do such a small move. Alternatively, we simply wait and see if he gets bid before our pick. Presumably we would have another club primed for a trade to make the best of that situation. I think it's probably 50/50 or 60/40 to moving ahead.

Maximum 3 years on the rookie list. I hadn't checked, but his time is up. Was moved from the main list to rookie list via a delisting only one year after his selection in the ND (i.e. just before the 2021 draft). We could upgrade Derksen to main list as a "motivator". But I would say it will have zero difference to any trade price we get for him. Peatling got a future second round pick based on playing games and being good. That's what Derksen needs to do.

More than anything it gives us the picks to play with on draft night. The other alternative is that rather than looking at the likes of paton as a rookie we might actually take him as dfa.

They are very positive about Madden

That's good to hear!

Yes. We can presumably take him (or someone else) as DFA straight onto the rookie list now. Wouldn't impact list spots now.

We could trade 37,74 for 50, f3 with essendon after Kako is bid on. Essendon can use 37. One example of what we could do. We use 50,56 to match the bid on our ruckman.
Or if essendons best pick after kako is say 40, trade 21,37,f2 for 40,Melbourne 2025r1.

Many possibilities, including not with essendon.
Perhaps gold coast is a better trading partner for after Lombard is bid on.

I don't think I've seen this mentioned elsewhere in here, but the giants do have interest in the mid Caroll from Carlton. The two w.a teams do too though.

It was reported that we had interest in Caroll and Paton during the trade period as rookie selections or as a dfa.

Caruso does like a bit of a gamble. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't.

Here's an article of Harrison Oliver, a kid I like as a half back prospect. Reminds me a bit of Lachie Whitfield

'I don't back away': The defender viewed as the toughest 2024 prospect

A potential top-25 pick in this year's draft, Harrison Oliver is considered by many as the toughest prospect in the pool

Would be an ideal replacement for Perryman. Small defender who also has the ability to attack and from all reports is a good ball user.

The Ages early phantom draft has us taking the following guys:

Taj Hotton
Ollie Hannaford
Jonty Faull
Rhys Unwin

The AFL draft is just weeks away. Here’s where the top-40 prospects could land

The draft is rapidly approaching and the 2024 class has recruiters salivating over its depth of talent and variety. We rank the top-40 players.

Hannaford, Faull and Unwin are all GMV Rebel players; choosing all three if they are close team-mates might make it easier to keep them over the longer term (plus the country factor seems less risky than Metro Melbourne). Noted that Olli Hotton has been delisted by St Kilda, could be worth a punt as a DFA or even a VFL listed player if his brother was taken by us?
