List Mgmt. 2024 List Mismanagement and Trading Part 2

[crow2crow]

Personally I would have delisted Smith (cooked), along with Burgess & Strachan who are not AFL standard.

Schoenberg has played some decent AFL football, but next year last chance saloon.

Murphy is depth.

happy with that

There's no valid reason why 4 of those delistings couldn't have happened this week.

Other than the fact that we'd have to pay out their 2025 contracts, including them in our 2024 salary cap - which is already spent.

We could (maybe) delist and pay out the contract for one of them. Doing all 4 is impossible.

People forget that it's not just a matter of cutting players, like it is when you're playing on the PlayStation. There are other aspects which complicate matters significantly.

You wouldn’t want to delist Strachan unless you had someone experienced locked in

Some of those others are under contract

Gallagher doesn’t count as he’s on a seperate list

ALL of them are under contract, which is why they weren't considered for delisting.

Would be brilliant if one popped up by the mid season draft and we had a list spot and it was cheap and he was good

Like Moyle. Ouch.

Yeah, it is a value call.

But Strachan and Burgess would be on minimum chips, so we could at least do those ones without too much negative impact.

We shouldn't have let Smith hit his trigger, but we did, so that's on us.

The selection committee will always pick the best available players to fit their agenda. At no stage will they say, dont pick Smith, we will be stuck with him next year. Ridiculous notion.

Chatting to a Crows mate today - we both agreed, can't remember that last time we have traded a player away and got genuine overs for them. Like proper 'made out like bandits' overs....

we always seem to pay fair premium market rates for players but just cant seem to get lucky with a trade our way or the BS 'Band 1' compo crap the VFL dishes up.

Shane McAdam.

Every man and his dog knew if we got half a bag of mouldy plain salted chips we'd done well.

 

[Crows I Am]

this is exactly my point. we will have list spots to fill next year and a spud draft and no picks to fill it. by delisting more this year the picks are in this years draft.

We will likely be looking to go after free agents and trade guys in again. We need to address our ruck issues so maybe that will happen next year. Draper from Essendon is a free agent next year and we have been linked with him.

We can also use future picks to trade back into 2025 2nd round.

 

[Crows I Am]

Well Strachan can't, so we may as well try someone else... particularly now Berg has gone.

We should have gone hard at a young back up this year that was capable of playing if required. We continue to ignore our ruck department every year.

Fair - Cameron turned into Fogarty which I'd say is about par - definitely not 'overs'.

Can't remember what exactly we got for McGovern.

From the Lever deal yes on paper it was a decent deal but IIRC we ended up blowing it on part of the Gibbs deal and McHenry (or something to that effect?)

The only player form the 2015 and 2016 drafts STILL on our list is Wayne 'Injury prone' Milera - horrendous stuff.

Not sure you can combine both the compensation received AND then how we spent it. They are seperate issues.eg if we hypothetically got way unders for MM at pick 45 but then drafted Soligo (exceptional drafting) it throws up an erroneous result

My view traded out - CC (pick 12 excellent result. The normally Mr Rational, Vader, from memory didn’t think that result was possible. CC had only played he one exceptional game but did have huge promise with his physical gifts).

• MM overs
• Lever overs
• McAdam slight overs

Traded in

• Gibbs ridiculers overs due to Fagan
• Dawson - huge unders
• Rankine - fair value IMO knowing his immense talent, most thought overs
• ANB - slight overs but quite immaterial with only needing to pick up Welsh
• Burgess - didn’t pay anything meaningful (nor should we of)

Overall all, Reid has been very solid in this area in recent years

RESTRICTED free agent, there is a difference.

Yep I’d delist Strachan too but would want something lined up that you know could play round 2 if ROB did his acl round 1

Did you spot Strachan out there with the lads getting in early and already working on their fitness and ball skills?
