List Mgmt. 2024 List Mismanagement and Trading Part 2

[Cromulant]

Tex has been listed as 193cm for a good chunk of his career, have to wonder how much a couple of cm really makes - suppose it depends on the individuals playing styles. Never seen Walsh play so I cannot comment.

Tex also had a talent level and footy IQ higher than most tall forwards in the last 30 years. Plus a very high aerobic capacity.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Now that Jack Lukosius (Jack Watts II) has decided on Port. The role we mapped out for him could be given to Brayden Cook as the Tom Lynch connector role in the SANFL. A 189 cm forward.

Or Curtin.

Georgiadies is pretty much ports key and only 192. Has a good leap though (he’s taller than I thought he was though)

Settle down, Max Knobel is only 20 that's hardly mature-age and is yet to play an AFL game,I seriously doubt he's ready to go AFL round 1 2025?

they are all examples i not looked into who would be best of the options but we need something

what if ROB goes down are you happy RT rucks all year and T Murray /Borlase comes into his 2nd ruck spot? when its not a developmental year its make or break

for a management team they are pretty poor at risk management

 

[crow2crow]

We are bringing in a key forward, Welsh, and it sounds like we are targeting Draper as a ruck next year so is it worth spending big collateral on a project ruck in that case.

sam draper is crap. you will all be complaining about him if we get him. personally i think he will stay at bombers and is using us to up his contract. do not want anyway

 

[BigFella!]

Just wondering if anyone has heard any results from the Draft Combine this weekend?

Just wondering if anyone has heard any results from the Draft Combine this weekend?

News has leaked out that the AFL's genetics and bioengineering team has once again failed to successfully combine any two attending draftees into the AFL super man. I'm told league management is beyond disappointed given the promises that were made this year.

This is false. The AFL were successful years ago. So successful in fact that they sold the technology to Meta for billions. Behold the FootyMan…

if WC are interested in splitting their pick 3 they cant be that invested in draper.... i suspect its bluff to try and get us to trade up a spot.

I hope they take Draper

Lalor and O’Sullivan much better suited

 

[crows dude]

Neale -Bullen done deal for 28

 

[NTRabbit]

Just about confirms that Welsh isn't going to attract a bid any earlier than the late second round

 

[crow2crow]

I hope they take Draper

Lalor and O’Sullivan much better suited

I hope they take Langford (WC)

Let’s hope so.

If people think R.O.B is a whipping boy now, Draper will be a whole other level of it. He's not exactly held in high regard by many Essendon fans.

 

[GROTTO]

You honestly believe Welsh will hold down a key forward post at AFL level at his height?

Just bearing in mind his father who was shorter, did this.

IIRC he was the leading goalscorer for the Crows for four seasons.

 

[Mutineer]

Just bearing in mind his father who was shorter, did this.

IIRC he was the leading goalscorer for the Crows for a couple of seasons.

Since then though full forward has more generally become the land of the giants, a lot around 200cm or more.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Is he similar height to Waterman & Georgiades?

Exact same height as Waterman who has played a G-Train like role as a strong leading forward.

I think Welsh ends up the same type of player.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

It's certainly a possibility he becomes the full forward target. There is still room for smaller clever targets.

 

[Crow till I die]

I see welsh as Fog mk 2..similar height and builds and both fast on the lead and both are very good kicks for goal

Ahhhhh I remember this pic.
He just looked like a flipping complete package.
This was before R1 2015 under Walsh. Came out and took 15 marks, kicked 6.5 in a 12 goal win.
Not sure i've ever been happier as a crows fan than this match

T-Train?

Yeah. I understand the frustration with ROB, but we have to be careful what we "wish" for. He's better than Draper.

 

[Mutineer]

T-Train?

Fraser Gehrig (G-Train) though he was a bigger unit than Tyler Welsh

 

[NTRabbit]

Just bearing in mind his father who was shorter, did this.

IIRC he was the leading goalscorer for the Crows for four seasons.

He was already considered undersized at the time, 20 years ago, and our lack of a true key forward is often referred back to as a reason why we won nothing in that run.

Today, the bar is even higher.
