List Mgmt. 2024 List Mismanagement and Trading Part 2

[Kane McGoodwin]

Carlton have established depth and want to get into the draft to conduct a semi rebuild of their roster. Its good aggressive list management to make sure they are around the mark for years to come. We have done well. Pick 4, Peatling, ANB, Cummings and Welsh. Thats a good off season. Our list isnt that bad. Just has some more dead wood to remove but they will get tossed next year. We will likely bring in some FA.

Plus the draft is an educated lottery and removing that much experience from your depth and relying on the draft to replace those players comes at an enormous risk. Only have to get 2 of them wrong and another 2 to be mediocre and its a bust regardless if what the others bring.

Do Carlton have decent depth though?

List their top 30 v us.

Established depth makes the world of difference over un-established depth like ours and they had huge injuries through the year and still made finals. Is it great, no. They didnt go deep in finals.

Yes. It is fatuous to compare us with Carlton. They clearly are in a different world, where they are concentrating on a large core of overpaid star players on long contracts to avoid poaching and go all out for premierships. Thus, they must be in salary-cap trouble and are getting rid of a large number of decent depth players. They are locking in the best 22 possible and damn the rest.

They will now be very vulnerable to injuries and their course could lead to big problems, rather than premierships.
