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

[Kangaroos4eva]

The melts have begun and we still have weeks before the trade season starts. Love it!

Bring this one out every trade season.

 

[prodigalson]

Port would be trying very hard to keep Houston off tonight’s game alone, there fwd 50 entries have been putrid with him out of the side.

 

[ExorcismOfArdenStreet]

The way Parker is dragging Alir away from the I50 in the second quarter is EXACTLY why we need him. It’s smart footy. NMFC would just continue to kick to Alir all *in night. Anyone looking only at Parker’s stats knows * all about footy.

Bingo

 

[Shinboner1]

Armarty would have been a good pickup 3 years ago

 

[The Nostradamus]

This is a bit annoying cos when we get Houston he misses round 1 cos tarps couldn’t make it one more game

Oh well at least he comes in for darlings 300th in round 2

 

[R00StaR]

Boak looks cooked.....Are we after him too?

Lots of experience, sure. Maybe pick 2 for him and Dickson?

Boomer should still be playing so we'll get plenty of years out of em.

Anyone under 25 can play VFL until they win 3 flags in a row.

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

Parker with the big 2 touches half way into the 2nd

He is a massive reason they dominated after 1/4 time keeping chandelier out of the game.

 

[Nutjob]

Parker with the big 2 touches half way into the 2nd

If you can’t understand how pivotal Parker was tonight, then you have no idea about football. He sacrificed his own game to take out Alir and that is exactly what our club needs.

Another one who needs to check spelling of players' names. Not that hard!

at every contest and inside 50 to prevent Port getting an intercept outlet. By restricting the rebound 50s, it allows the players in the corridor to continue blocking entry.

Very smart coaching made worse by the absence of Houston.

 

[Gippy Roo]

I’ve heard his name pop up a few times in here, sell me on the kid,
I’ve seen him listed as a defensive forward is he Kayne Turner manic pressure or can he hurt you on the scoreboard?

A Small pressure forward who is hard running both ways, tackles and kicks goals. Great kid, humble. Go back and watch the 2022 Vic Country v Vic Metro Grandfinal. After a quiet first quarter, he teamed up with his best mate Bailey Humphrey well and started to have an influence.

Parker would be bringing up 300 with us early next season

We have suddenly become a destination club for players wanting to get their 300th game. We offer no pressure in getting dropped. Who else can we attract aside from Darling and Parker out there? Which of our current players will get to chair them in their milestone game? Ooh the excitement 2025 brings

 

[The Talent Scout]

Crazy how Geelong have made finals again with 9 players over 30, and we’re still behaving like anyone over 28 needs to be euthanised.

You may have just won "post of the week" FlyHigh18, very funny!

Great-humourous post! It has already been established that we have a very good young core however it is missing the top end mature leadership that other clubs have.

We can keep going to the draft and perhaps take a gamble on a late pick but ultimately, it just becomes a loop. Be shit for the season, get high draft pick, be shit again, get high draft pick... no ending to this madness.

If we get a few oldies that can raise our floor a little bit which then lifts the blokes in the middle, I can see where we can take advantage of the free agency and trade period. Larkey needs that wingman (Darling), RHJ might just be the answer to our small forward woes, Parker (if he does come) sorts out the big-bodied mid requirement etc.

But in all honesty, if Lmac and Jy can't lift their game for us on a consistent basis, then we're going to have to replace them quicker than expected. Although that sounds like music to this board's ears, it is not something that should be celebrated. They need to bloody stand up and take control of this mess. What excuse is there now?

 

[The Talent Scout]

Some people just waffle on this forum.

 

[NMFC TID]

I am worried about parkers inability to kick goals though.
Old mates had 2 easy shots and missed

From one game? Cool your jets brus

 

[Midas]

As just posted in the Clarko thread, the 90s Roos were a young list that got beaten around and they figured out to win. Getting that big young group going to war together early made them ruthless.

They’d also won a conveyor belt of premierships in the 19s so already had success together.

That’s often discounted when we reminisce.

A couple of experienced players added to the list is only going to do us good.

Big Ischenko was at the end of his career and no superstar but was effective in allowing McKernan time to develop.

Blakey came at 27 and was a rock down back and on the wing for us, no doubt assisting the development of our youngsters.

We need experience desperately and that’s only going to fast track the development of the significant talent we already have on our list.

Ralph is suggesting DGB will be available as a delisted FA.

Looks the type that will never bulk up to the required weight and physique. Will be surprised if either of the WA teams even bother with him.

Shit. We might miss out if that happens. Four year contract and an F2 is on the table.

I miss him

Always makes me think of the time he kept pushing Barry Hall over while he was tying his shoes. Comedy gold.

 

[DunderHead]

I only watched a bit of the footy last night but it was clear that Heeney has a special relationship with Parker. suspect he’s played a mentoring.

I’m not sure how much he will be able to contribute on field but I can think of lots of our players that could use his experience and follow his lead - including Jy and McDonald.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

What an enormous bust.

Absolute radio silence from the media, despite being picked 3 selections after Will.

 

[desie]

Thankfully we’ve been consistent in having absolutely nothing to do with failed top 10 draft picks from other clubs so nothing to worry about there.
