List Mgmt. 2024 List Management thread - Trade Targets

[wakojako]

So now we have to wait another year for the Chad . Probably safe to assume it will just be Bolton this period!

 

[stax on the mull]

Bloody footy journos with their “I can tell you…” rubbish. They all do it.

Well I can tell you that most footy journos are w***ers who add this little bit of mayo to make it sound like they’ve got some earth-shattering secret scoop. They don’t. Bunch of plonkers.

Tom Morris that is. He has generated a lot of stories so far which have got into the media cycle and he gets to boost his own stories with appearances on radio here, and on the various Channel 9 football shows, one of which he hosts.

Throw enough darts and you'll get one right.

 

[thistimeforsure]

Absolutely - walking away has to always still be an option - well the other side has to at least believe it’s still an option for us

With regards to the bolded , try telling that to the tigers supporters on here

But as long as walls and co don’t think like that then we should be fine

We’ve F’d it up already ….. the only word coming from Freo since the last game of the year should have been how excited we are about this draft

Other clubs probably hold the door open for us and tell us they’ve saved us a seat when trade week rolls around

Has anyone listened to this from Schofield / skeet… not really consuming any footy media atm. But that title alone gave me a sinking feeling

They make shit up to try and get people to listen to the podcast

Can't like this post enough. Noticed it a long time ago and one of the reasons I can't stomach watching any of their shows, Morris (I thought they'd managed to ex-communicate that dickdonk, but no...) is one of the more sanctimonious and self-indulgent of this mold (or should that be mould..?!).

Too much industry psychobabble geared to making a sport some kind of life-altering event (keep the coffers rolling) that will make you trip the light fantastic!!! Load of tripe, the whole damn industry

There's playing the game and then there's just spouting obvious, see-through bs. I think what you're suggesting falls in the latter camp.

For example, we got more than we should've for Lobb coz we played the game, and it was a believable one. But some teams last season I remember spouting some absolute bs about how they're hoping to keep players/keeping that option open...who were out of contract and requested a trade. That's just laughable nonsense.

There are more AFL media passes on issue than there are AFL players on squads.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

Freo media team hook me up with a media pass or an interview with JLo.

in Tigers 2 wins had 2 votes and 2 votes…

 

[Lach72]

Shai Bolton in Tigers 2 wins had 2 votes and 2 votes…

Also got ten coaches votes in RD 4 for no votes

 

[gungho]

Considering he was getting phased slowly out of the team in the back half of the season, I'd be amazed if Son Son was a walk up start in the best 22 in 2025. Fyfe on the other hand should start in the team, and it will be up to Noddy, Johnno, Erasmus and Brodie to knock the door down.

 

[Cobbler]

Yep.
My point was he will get noticed more in wins.

 

[vidwhal]

Bit random and probably the wrong thread. I don't watch much of the womens team but the way they sing the song is epic. Puts the mens team to shame. Half the time feels like the boys just want it over and done with. Only time they really belt it out with passion is after a big win.

Yeah Duffs mentioned this. They sing verse then chorus which sounds way better. Wish the men would follow suit.

Believe it or not, I suggested this to the club in 1997. It’s clear my infuence, then as now, is significant.

 

[Rhufus]

Haha if Freo got both Bolton + Baker and they won another flag together that would make me happy.

Andyy u seem genuine, so I ask sincerely, who do u see Baker replacing in the Dockers B22?

What see through b/s like stinky has been rolling out to sell memberships …. that kind of heard it all before see through bullshit

Best draft we’ve seen in ages

List is in good shape

Open to the right trade but it would have to be great value to get us out of this draft

Blah blah blah

Andyy - Why isn't Bolton popular this year at Richmond?


I have seen a few comments like the below. Could Yze just not handle him?

Was his head already 3/4 out the door.
Does he not have the mentality to play for a bottom 4 side

Were these issues around in previous years? If not, why?

Richmond players believed he ran his own race while he believed the game plan wasn’t clear enough.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

It was pretty clear in the Richmond game over here that Bolton was doing his own thing / checked out of Richmond.

Considering he was getting phased slowly out of the team in the back half of the season, I'd be amazed if Son Son was a walk up start in the best 22 in 2025. Fyfe on the other hand should start in the team, and it will be up to Noddy, Johnno, Erasmus and Brodie to knock the door down.

Fyfe and Walters shouldn't get a game over the youngsters. NoD and Raz are too good for WAFL. They have bided their time for long enough.

 

[go_the_dockers]

This is a massive concern for me.

A highly paid player, not following the coaches instructions, doing this own thing. Is Longmuir tough enough to handle him.


It makes me question his mentality and drive , which is very dangerous when he is on a highly paid long term contract and has already won 2 flags.

I remember hearing after Wingard was traded, that port was relieved he was gone and his off field effort was poor. We only hear 5% of what is happening, so if there is smoke, then I assume there is a fire.

I know we have a no dick heads policy, which has held us in good stead.

Bolton is coming get used to it , Richmond players believe he ran his own race bahaha.

Yeah he checked out of Richmond just kicked the lazy 5 goals either our defence is dogshit or maybe he’s just a gun.

 

[Sturty2Hurty]

He was checking in

 

[Lach72]

Should start to see the rest of the list management fall into place this week.

Emmet, O’Driscoll etc

 

[DragoDelph]

Luko to port. They definitely need to push Houston out to get that done
