List Mgmt. 2024 Trade & List Management Thread - Part II

[DesertRoo]

list management wise i guess he replaces Sheils or Hughs spot, so even after retiree/mentor spots we have one available to draft in younger talent,

Its the spots such as CCJ or Biggies that are where we are effectively wasting the concession we got as part of the "assistance".

the pay imo is moot because we should be so far from maxing out the cap even front-loading other deals it surely couldn't be an issue?

honestly believe if Darling is keeping you out of the team, that ain’t a Darling problem…

What happened to Membrey?

We were using him as leverage to put pressure on the Darling camp

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

Yes. Every excuse under the sun. Change of coaches. Developmental. This other guy wanted this player at our club. But not Rawling. He didn't want any of the players recruited to our club from other teams over the last 5 years. Cat Stephens? Nothing to do with him. Oh and those long contracts, well that was some other bozo at the club that made that happen. He is running at 100%. He has not made a mistake. Faultless. Poor Dude. Pity everybody else around him that has moved on has been incompetent. Gee he has had some bad luck. Because it aint his fault in the slightest that our club has finished bottom 2 for 5 years on end. Not of his doing. Did not play a part at all. :stern look

And beside all that, he left the toilet seat up.

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

Yes, Zondor is being checked for high blood pressure.

Can I suggest also doing the elephant, person, woman, man, camera, TV test?

 

[ChairmanZia]

If we aren't looking at a 20-25 year old key forward as well as Darling i think we will be drafting one in the first round.

We have to split pick 2 if thats the way we go. Get two picks for it and then target Armstrong, Shanahan or Faull

Errr those are usually impossible to get and priorities for other clubs to re-sign.

We've probably been looking just not getting much of a reception.

According to my sister and nephew, staunch Geelong supporters, he would be a good pick up. They think he was poorly treated at the Cats.

Parfitt is a rich man's Charlie Lazzaro. No thanks

THE WESTERN Bulldogs have delisted midfielder Dominic Bedendo and small forward Kelsey Rypstra.

Did they not attempt to poach him in the same way that they didn't talk to TT?

 

[FlyHigh18]

A bit like how Sydney missed out on Larkey, but never mentioned.

But North glance at someone and it’s added to the list of 200 players we couldn’t get.

Love this.

Can’t say Darling generates any excitement but it’s negligent to not give our players someone experienced to learn off.

They can fight to take the spot off him, and he can teach on and off the field. If they can’t take his spot then that’s on them.

I assume we’ll be doing the same in the midfield as well.

I saw D Motlop at Princess Park one year before the Seniors. I was surprised how light weight he looked in RL

I’ve run into Daniel a couple of times recently. “Light weight” is not how I would describe him nowadays.

Essendon statement: “Neither the club or Zach have any interest in exploring the concept. He is our captain and not going anywhere.”

Bit ambiguous

 

[Lomas]

Did they not attempt to poach him in the same way that they didn't talk to TT?

Or how they have ‘cooled’ in Houston?

 

[The Y Factor]

100%
And some think 2025 Jack Darling will help

What would you be doing if you were coach?

Clarko and the players I spoke to at the B&F think having Darking and Parker will help a lot so I’m interested in what you would do if you had the power/ opportunity.

Interested in your convos there The Y Factor …….were the coaches/players confident those 2 blokes were actually coming. Or just wishing and hoping?

They didn’t happen to mention anything about a prospective small forward target by chance?

It appears to be a lock barring any last minute issues. Very optimistic. And I think there is efforts for a third and certainly a lot going on behind the scenes to see what’s possible.

Tbh - unlike recent years there was not a lot of gossip but there was great spirit tempered by a disappointing season.
