List Mgmt. 2024 List Management discussion

Awful for the guy if so.

Wonder how often a team has had 5 ACLs in one season before this?

And the 6th within 12 months.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Wonder if this might almost compel the club to re-contract him for another season? Similar to McCarthy? And also what Collingwood did with their couple of blokes who were battling concussion issues over summer.

I don't know, the list squeeze is going to be very tight. Leaving aside the Cat B boys, we're allowed 42 players across the senior and Cat A rookie lists. We currently have 45 due to the three MSD picks, and we have to keep McLachlan as he's on an 18 month contract. So say we kept Lane and delisted Lyons, Prior, Madden, Michael, Craven and Beecken (I think we have to accept Joyce is staying since ZZ isn't ready to step in if we get tall defender injuries next year). That only leaves us with three spots that we can take to the draft to match Levi and Marshall. That isn't a lot. And based on their play in the VFL, if we're keeping anyone, I think it should be Beecken.

I feel bad for Kalin, but unless someone else demands a trade away, I think there just isn't a spot available for him. I think he was on the way out the door even before the injury.

Surely never - must be unprecedented...the first at BH Stadium?

I believe we can re-sign Lane, and put him straight on the LTI, which opens up a roster spot for us.

We can say hey, we’ll rehab you, you’ll have the security of a minimum salary contract, but at the end of next year, you need to look for another club.

And if we have a season ending injury after next years MSD, we can activate Lane back on to the list.

If we are the club we aspire to be, with the culture we claim, we can't boot him in these circumstances. At a minimum full medical support.

The approach briztoon suggests above sounds good to me, but if we did move on I don't think delisting him at this stage is callous or undermines culture. He was always a project player, and one that may still come good, but fundamentally needs to be able to play to have value. It sounds harsh but we also have cultural commitments to fans, sponsors, other players etc. to do everything we can to have success, not just that individual. I would be disappointed if we didn't offer continued full medical support (as you say) but we can delist him without being uncaring...

More importantly, if it's an ACL, best of luck to the big man and a real shame given the reports that he was starting to come good in the VFL.

If we can put him on the LTI, then sure. If not, blame the AFL for having list restrictions. I think having a maximum number of list spots is utterly moronic. The salary cap is enough of a restriction. If a team can fit in more players under their cap, they should be able to do so.

I reckon about the only way I can get on the Lion's roster. I will pay them to clog the list.

 

[McIvor]

Can’t you apply to the AFL for special dispensation regarding your rookies and keeping Lane on particularly on compassionate grounds? Try that and if the AFL knock it back, let them be the pricks we know they already are…otherwise do what Briz says.

Hell yeah, 1 club players for Hugh and Bez is special.

These signings ladies and gentlemen are the reason why Fages has a right to coach this team. Its pretty unbelievable that we have managed to keep all of these players and I put that down to the great culture and environment Fages has created.

[irel]

It validates Fagan's way. If you stay loyal and believing in your players, they in turn will return it in kind and more.
Well done to the club and the list management.

Say what you want about Colin Young's tactics, but they are very predictable.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Just waiting on that 10 year Logan Morris contract

 

[irel]

Rayner is next.

Where's that dude who reckoned Charlie was going to Freo lol

 

[Dalions]

Hopefully like it did for Hugh, this releases Charlie from his shackles.

What bloody awesome news, footy really is one of life's great pleasures.

Children, Grandchildren, trekking, Yoga, Coitus, Pilates and sarcasm are some other pleasures on my list.

Well, we would have most posts then, taking over from previous leader, Richmond

Good reminder to appreciate our current KPPs remembering we used to be so desperate that Jayden Post kept getting linked to us
