If the club is keen on Lukosious like someone said earlier than overlooking McMahon makes some more sense.

Personally I don't see his skill set translating well to AFL level, contested marking, one on one type player who's a complete string bean... Think he'd get out bodied too much at AFL level.

Luko at least has the elite kicking ability and aerobic base to play higher up the ground.
 
ask list management that decision making
Austin need to go we had 1 pick on list not used could have taken McMahon as a forward or Ramshaw as he has that speed he didn't need to have a ton of possession just needed his run and tackle. Cooper Lord can get the ball but again is same like Binns and most of the AFL team one pace . I here the Camporeale Boys find the ball a lot but are similar with pace and not great kicks.

Well I think he would be good lead up player. At least he would take a decent back man and open up the forward 50.

Tbh Iā€™d back him in. May not be perfect but has plenty of positives to make a go of it imo
You could just as easily be describing TDK, and look how that turns out in our forward line most of the time.
 
The Saad stuff seems a strange hill to die on. Google Adam Saad trade and it comes up 5 years at $650,000, yes we gave up pick 8, but we then got 48 back.

I think we paid slightly over the odds here, but not a great deal.

When we had been banking cap space the previous few years, paying $650,000 for a quality, durable and reliable player was a solid move.

Go your hardest on the Williams deal which was the same trade period, 4 years later and i still dont know if heā€™s a good player or not.,
Saady made all Australian last year didn't he?
Can't be all that bad....

Below is our list by age. For me, there are several factors. First, get rid of perennially injured players. Second,what can be done for next couple of years to be truly competitive. Third, what can be done in longer term.

If you go from Cripps down, and removing S.Durdin, Marchbank, Cuningham (plus Mirkov and Akuei), I actually don't think we are in a bad space long term. (I also think there will be other delistings/changes over next few years as part of a broader list strategy).

What I would like to see this year is a couple of picks before Ben Camporeale (1 a KPD, another a classy fast small mid or mid fwd), a clever DFA (ideally a reliable sort of KPD) to help, and a classy fast small mid via a trade.

I don't think it's all doom and gloom, and I reckon we'll do around 8 list changes (which is standard). Just need to be the right ones...

Agree 1 or 2 good FA's or trades and a good draft haul over the next couple of years and we're beautifully set up for the future.

Future line up in 2027 will hopefully look something like (Assuming all the older brigade are gone, which they won't be but for the sake of the hypothetical I've removed anyone older than the 2015 draft)

Travaglia (21) Weitering (30) Boyd (28)
Wilson (22) ????? (?) Cowan (23)
Binns (23) Cerra (28) O.Hollands (23)
Moir (22) Mckay (30) Durdin (25)
Motlop (24) Curnow (30) Berry (21)
Dekoning (28) Walsh (27) CWalker (19)

E.Hollands (25) BCampo (21) LCampo (21) Kemp (26) Lord (22)

I still have massive doubts on a few players there like Durdin and Motlop but with FA's and trades + some other draft picks over the next few years we should be able to round out some of the weaker spots as Gov, Saad, Newman, Williams etc retire.

The biggest issue is going to be replacing Cripps, Curnow, Mckay and Weiters while trying to stay in the premiership hunt and restricting our access to top line talent. All 4 are levels above anyone on our list in terms of raw talent, finding their replacements with late first round picks is going to be borderline impossible without some luck.

Two issues is the key defence and our speed.

Need to make a play for Barrass. I guess Haynes is a fallback option but not that great.

Then speed. Next year Doc should be back. That leaves 3 creative types Doc, Saad and Newman down back. I would move Saad to the wing.

Play Elijah mid all year. Play Cincotta shut down mid all year. With his injury history play Cerra sub all year (our sub a big body mid or 5th string small forward has been terrible all year). That mix with Acres and Walsh in the middle of the ground all of a sudden gives us enough speed.

Hopefully Moir can come on, he got 5th in the agility test at draft so with him and William forward we have more speed down there.
 
I'm generally starting to wonder who on the list is untouchable and who should be made available.

I don't see how we can't make moves with our midfield. We need to look at trading out someone and stop trying to cram a bunch of slow mids into the 22. Imo.
My opinion on untouchables in our 22 (Without a full blown list blow up occurring)

Saad Weitering ------
Newman ------ ------
Acres Cripps -----
----- Mckay -----
----- Curnow -----
Dekoning Walsh -----

E.Hollands ----- Cowan -----

Not all the rest should be up for trade, such as Ollie, Fog etc but imo this is our core group who give it their all every week and provide leadership/fill an important role in the team.

I agree, I think our midfield needs a rejig quick smart.

Cripps is the only untouchable imo.

Walsh - either trade or move him to a wing (if he can play that role). He is the one that prolly has the highest trade value (outside of crippa). We could make a real difference bringing in a quick mid with good kicking skills.

Cerra - Good kick but hamstring now a real concern...trade while he has value?

Kennedy - Id keep because he is versatile

Hewett - kicks have no penetration...could keep or trade

We're going to play Cerra as a sub for a whole year???? What???

Personally, I don't mind your 2027 23 (and I understand the purpose of your exercise - 30 and under). However, I do think Cripps will be there. And I would love to see a couple of more quality pacier players on the bench.
Even though the sun doesn't seem to be shining on us at the moment (and I do think there are some other changes that need to be made off-field), it's certainly not all darkness for me.

Agree, I think some of Cripps, Saad, Newman, Acres etc will be there in 2027 and I'd much rather have some more speed on the field. It's hard to predict which FA's and trades the club could acquire to solve that without knowing who's on the market those years but it's definitely not doom and gloom. The issue for me is that we're wasting a great shot at the flag while all our good players are in their primes.
 
He got through 9 full games this year. I've lost count of the the hamstrings he has done the past 2 years. His body isn't up to it and will be the next Jack Martin/David Cuningham if not managed.
And he won't be playing for us on 700k a season as a full time sub. If that were the case we'd be trading him.

Who's in the market for a player that has done about 5 hamstrings in 2 years? What are they giving up for him?

We're not getting anything near what he is worth at his best so trading isn't a viable option.

Otherwise you can have your head in the sand, play him for a month, miss him for a month with a hammy, play him for a couple weeks, miss him for a month with another hammy and then have him return subpar as we seen throughout July because he has no match fitness.

I think instead of being sub each week, the club will need to manage him (and a few others) a bit better.

If he has trade value Id trade him because he is on good coin and you expect players to be available most weeks.

Or you know... We could find a new fitness boss who isn't going to have about 15 hammy injuries occurring in a season under his watch?

Cerra is young and while he's had plenty of hammy issues the last 2 years is still a quality player and professional enough to get back to his best without having to play as a substitute for a whole year.

Look at Treloar a few years back, he did a hammy every 2nd week... Still goes alright these days and he's over the age of 30 now.

Who says he canā€™t get them right under a new fitness coach. Darcy Mooreā€™s hammyā€™s were just as bad in 2018, only played 6 games that year because of them
