List Mgmt. 2024 List Mismanagement and Trading

Haha, Smith is going around again too. What a joke.

Don't see the point. He'll play the majority of games in the SANFL.

Not bad depth though.

 

[Smoooothy]

He is still 22 games off AFL life membership I think? He is on 278 and I think you need 300?

That would be his goal but I think he might need 2026 to reach that. In the end playing in a side that has missed finals seven years in a row hurts your game count.

300 total including preseason and rep games. 278 is the number of in season games he's played

 

[Pugsley]

Our club on the back foot yet again. Other clubs have made moves while we sit on our hands.

We cant be mean - the players need a hug when we eventually in 2032 delist them

 

[George Kramer]

I thought we had 3 picks and only took 1.

Meant last years draft

 

[1970crow]

I hope we have done due diligence on his fitness. He showed he was carrying some injuries all season.

What is truly concerning is that our coaching group believed he is that critical to success that he was rushed back in the deadest of rubbers away in the final round. This isn’t indicative of a coaching group or player that can think straight.

We are going after luko+cumming+anb. no issue with who we are targetting, just need the best deal and not give up this years first

 

[spenze]

Great .. they don't even realise Cumming is a FA and won't cost any draft capital

Where is pick 10-20 coming from for Luko?

Trading Rachele

 

[Crow-eater]

Updated with Smith and Tex contracts

 

[Jirkago75]

Oh FFS. To think we carried him to his trigger and now are stuck with him.

This club couldn’t be any more shit than if we tried.

We need to tell him he’s playing sanfl all season or here’s a reduced payout to go.

Just feels like they forced him too and the wage convinced him too. Unless it’s about the money , surely Smith knows he’s not a first team player anymore! This makes no sense at all, why sign on to play SANFL. Another very poor decision by the powers that be!!

Yes he is bad depth, he was putrid all year

Can you just imagine if the club did prt with 4 for something like 13 and Lukosius.

Fast farward to draft night and we sit there watching all tje top end mids picked off that we could have got and with 13 we take a flanker. It literally would be like watching a sliw motion train wreck in complete horror

 

[spenze]

grand final hopefully - realistically if the season is a bust like this year, get him to afl life membership and then send him into the sunset

Well it will be a bust if we wheel him out every game for the season.

Gifting games to someone at the end of their career is futile unless it is a farewell game. We are five years into a rebuild, finishing 15th and as a club, we are going down the path of giving a player 22 gift games so we can say "he reached 300, what a reward".

Our focus should be on winning a flag, not a feel good story, absolutely every decision we make is about being a boys club and not a football club. We are wasting another year of development and improvement to get a guy to 300.

I have loved watching Tex but this is a poor decision

 

[Danger in Texas]

Need to get a good first-rounder back from the Suns if we're giving up the F1, too (even though I'd really prefer not to give it up, but we might end up going all in)

Like Luko + 13 for F1 + 25

 

[GameofSloanes]

Four clubs chasing and GWS trying to keep James Peatling and apparently we aren’t one of them
which is disappointing. They just signed Daniels to a 6 year deal but crickets on Cumming.
Hopefully it’s us .

If they're signing players to big contracts then they know who is and isnt leaving

Yep, might get either dodson or travaglia (bit of will day about him so i read)

 

[GameofSloanes]

In terms of what? We are widely reported to be in the race for 3 players who could all offer us something

It's not a decision, he has a contract unless he doesn't want one
At least we stopped picking him in the AFL side

 

[GameofSloanes]

Yes he is bad depth, he was putrid all year

He's still good enough to dominate the SANFL. Putrid in AFL, luckily we stopped picking him. Hopefully that continues, can't see how he gets a game especially if we get Cumming

Was never happening. I'm ok with him getting another year, will provide good guidance for the other forwards and to be honest, if he's fit, he's still best 22. But definitely should not play every game, so 300 is out of the question.

 

[Scorpus]

We're going to have half a dozen guys on our list in 2025 that should never play an AFL game under any circumstances at this rate

 

[Pea Nut]

Well at least that's less than this year !!

 

[Eddie Murphy]

Or trade Berry?

I’ve already Berry as one of the six that would need to be moved on.

 

[Eddie Murphy]

Parnell, Hamill and Keane are rookies (but Turray takes one of their spots)

So it'd have to be Ned, Berry, Sloane, Gollant, and then say, move Strachan and/or Smith to the rookie list

If we’re assuming Keane is gone though we’d surely want more KPD coverage than just Borlase. Especially with Butts coming off a lisfranc and his injury history. If so, that’s another list spot that needs to be opened up.

 

[Jibroni]

Cant believe another one, please make an offer as the idea of him in a Port jumper will crush my soul.

Melbourne fan favourite expresses homesick concerns to club

The club is suddenly dealing with an end-of-year crisis and trying to stop a player exodus.
