Game Day 2024 Trade Period - Lian Yu - that liminal space between trade and draft.

[Tonga Bob]

Does it really count if no other club is interested... Unlikely to be matching a bid right?

The fact that no other clubs are interested is the only way that the AFL will allow us to have a father-son selection.

 

[Alfonz]

Do F/S rules even apply when the son is 20 years old and been passed over in multiple drafts?

I don't think he's ever nominated for a draft before. If he had and we'd passed on him you'd be right, we couldn't match in subsequent drafts.

 

[The Feeder Club]

When there was chatter around about him in the MSD I made a point of looking out for him at a couple of south's games. What he has going for him is he fits the prototype medium forward that we really only have Sturt representing on the list. But yeah, apart from that, he's a way off Sturt levels

 

[Paracleet]

I'd have to defer to people who have seen him play but there can't be too many examples of successful AFL players who came off half a season of split league / ressies (and he finished in ressies according to the stats) at aged 20 when they were drafted.
Only thing that leaps out at me from his stats is he only played 1 season of colts. Possible late developer?

When I checked that earlier in the year he didn't appear on any of the nomination lists and F/S is first nomination only.

With the Carr news I long for the days where we were signing Narkle.

 

[Big Animal]

Yeah Jaren Carr

oh i remember that kid. Had to pull my son off him as he had his hands around his neck at Coast when they were about 4 or 5. Think he wasn't happy about being pushed in on the queue for the slide. So, clearly Carr is selfish and not a team player. Sure to affect team culture

 

[freo_leo29]

Maybe because we have a better list than they do? Haha. Pies list and Freo list are opposite ends of the spectrum so pretty unrealistic comparison.

Pies just won a premiership...


I also clearly listed a player that would've worked in my post?

Lawson Humphries. But he would be an anomaly and perhaps the only example that actually exists. A success story for the West Coast NGA.

From memory Carr had a good game in the u21's vs u18's just before the MSD; we were interested but he never ended up nominating

 

[CaseySibosadoHOF]

Using a list spot on Jaren Carr is definitely a strange decision. Worth noting that in the MSD both Freo and Brisbane made "serious enquiries", though he chose not to nominate (https://archive.md/LeNjS).

Also LongSerong did call it (https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/thre...targets-part-2.1387866/page-174#post-85126706).

From memory, I think Brisbane were keen, but we said we would look at him at the end of the year.
