List Mgmt. 2024 Trade Thread

The Hofmann comment sounds like a major exaggeration. He's been good, but definitely not worthy of top 40 yet. Anything to try and get a headline/story

I have a feeling they will bring the nga bidding in a bit this year. Maybe back to the 20s.

Nah they can never do anything nice for us

 

[Saint Watto]

Misson confirmed in the presser that Max has been playing with a knee issue since the Giants game. End of story.

The incident at Manaka looked bad at the time so absolutely no surprise that Big Maxy's had that knee hampering him ever since.

 

[Saint Watto]

Watch this space…. Because he is staying?

Stav....just watch this space.

Over and out.

Hope you are right mate.

Would much rather Battle stay, but if he doesn't we just have to get pick 5 as compo.
Still pick 4 mid in the Bont range would not go astray ( probably get Jimmy Toumpas though and the new Bont goes at 5, Battle first game of 2025 gets concussion and retires)

Are there any North, Richmond, WCE, or Adelaide players that might go at Band 1 value this year?

Nope

With the way some people talk up Dusty still hes going to go to Gold Coast for 5 years at a million a year giving Richmond pick 3.

Sounds like despite Hawthorns best effort, Perryman’s interest is to play for Port Adelaide. Could see them up their offer for Battle having missed out on a few key free agents this last few years

No, but Ashcroft should be nominated earlyish in the draft, and then matched by the Lions.

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

Are knee and shoulder injuries impact injuries? We shouldn't trade him but his body has been fragile to this point. So was Curnow and Daniher so it doesn't mean much, I think he's a bit injury prone though.

If they’re not impact injuries what are they?

But people (posters) suggest that would never happen under Lyon and the medical team. Ironical if continuing to play him lead to the actual PCL tear? Wake up and smell the roses people, Lyon had significant flaws back in 2009/2010 and they are still evident. Im not suggesting sacking him but someone needs to address these things with him. Misson is not going to do it, we all know he is Lyon's puppet and wouldnt have got the job hadnt it been for Ross wanting his own people around him.

Tell us more about Ross sacking Geoff Walsh.

Every comment about this draft from you just makes out as if this draft class is getting worse and worse.

You are incredibly bias to what you want and it makes engaging in this conversation very hard.

If pick 3 = Koltyn Tholstrup

Then we might as well trade a hypothetical pick 4 & 5.

What will end up happening is that we take 2 mids and you’ll end up falling in love with one if not both of them

For a few year until they end up Clark and Coff

 

[gringo2011]

Although we have no control over this, how beneficial would it be for our list to get access to seemingly two of our best NGA kids (Hofmann and Cole).

Absolutely no guarantees that they become world beaters, but we need to stockpile talent. I haven't been able to watch many Vic Metro games, but surely Lennox and Adrian would need a strong finish to the season break inside the top-40?

Think we’ll get access to both. Neither are overly impressive but worth a free hit.

Do we play Adelaide on drafting Draper and try for a later pick and a 1 spot drop?

 

[gringo2011]

I just don't think this is a very strong front end of this draft. Really prefer to get our natural pick and get out. Losing Battle is probably a 25% to 50% chance of replacing him with player of equal quality about 10% of an upgrade. To me the best options would be Jagga Smith and Trainor. Players like Langford and Reid look good but they are all mid to late firsts. There are a lot of mids but none are amazing. Smith probably likely to go high now unless Murphy Reid does jump up hard.

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

Yuck. Both would require a trade and take up a list spot. I’d rather play Ari or Keeler if we are determined to do dumb things. Losing a 25 year old Battle for guys over 30 is the most StKilda thing ever.

Yet losing a 25 year old free agent for one of the best junior talents in the country is something that many other clubs see as good list management.

That’s what Dalrymple is for…picking some talent later in the draft, and nailing our initial picks. Back him in.

We're losing a 25 year old Battle for a top midfielder in their draft class

It depends on the junior talent.

All the strategy that Pelican put in place was fine...except they ignored the actual process of identifying talent.
They assumed if you took Pick X you would get player Y.

which could be a draft class for special kids who can't get footballs.

Did Dalrymple select them too?
