List Mgmt. 2025 List Management 📃

[ianh]

Have no doubt that he's 'on trial' with the club for possible mid season draft pick up / rookie spot next year.

Could well be SSP if he outshines others - no prohibition on picking up someone not on our train-on list.

 

[Arr0w]

Yep we are managing expectations and regulations. There’s quite a few that are on the cusp of the AFL list.

Durdin
Carroll
DGB
Phillips
White
McMahon

You can add Evans to that list

Frank the tank is the prospective Owies replacement. Good overheard, good goal sense and works hard to win the ball or lock it in the forward line. Still, passed over by both Geelong and Port even though he played more games than not last year suggests not a lot of upside.

Really to what part? Not being defensive, just want to know.

The fact he scored around half a goal a game as a small forward in a top 4 side. Doesn't scream out what we are looking for to me.

Port are trialling a kid who played with Cheltenham to replace him.

[The Bighouse]

I havent given up hope. Probably needs to be on our vfl list to be able to train with us given our spp spots are taken. If he out performs the others you'd think he's still a shot.

If we sign Durdin or DGB and have Phillips on our vfl list, our vfl backline is going to be way to tall. Not good for anyone's development or the team.

Think EP did the same last season, pre-season training with Box Hill = given a shot as SSP with Hawthorn with the dual training.

If he performs, he makes the most sense for our list. Hopefully DGB can show a bit pre-season and stick around for the VFL / MSD option.

If he's fit, I expect Jagga to play starting midfield in Round 1 and rightly so. He offers a skillset we lack. The ability to get out the front of stoppage with agility and burst. It will significantly assist our forwards the opportunity to utilise the corridor.
It may only be for 10 minutes per quarter but it will be worthwhile.
As for Hewett, he's a great warrior but I hope his role becomes more redundant. The inclusion of Smith and a fit Cerra will give us more defensive accountability around stoppages. Inside chase pressure and willingness to work defensively.
I'd like to see Lord play a larger role. Great hands below his knees and more penetration in his kicking than Hewett.

Worth taking a look at the training footage, because then you'll notice that Hewett is absolutely flying right now, and Jagga's defensive output will not be up to scratch by round 1.

Both should be in the 22/23 if fit.

Despite talk of changing up our midfield mix, I wouldn't be surprised if we roll with a pretty predictable on-ball group round 1. The big 4 (Cripps, Walsh, Cerra, Hewett) getting the majority of the minutes plus Jagga and E.Hollands rotating through.

Not saying it's a bad thing. A fit Cerra and Walsh in itself massively improves our midfield, plus Jagga's minutes will grow as the year goes on. Sometimes at this time of year we get creative when the answer is actually pretty simple and right in front of us.

Good to hear George is doing well.

People forget how much he's battled through injury, because he rarely misses games.

simple solution is to sign Mcmahon and Phillips and say thanks but no thanks to the rest....

Nigel had his chance, M. Carroll unlucky with injury but his types are a dime a dozen....

 

[marcmurphy3]

Phillips sure doesnt sound like hes given up on that SPP spot.

What's this based on? Has he given an interview?

Yep. Heraldsun

 

[YeoShuey]

Newman to the midfield will be interesting. I could see him playing a Docherty type role, perhaps a bit better.

Interested to see how Hollands goes in defence as well.

Any word on who might be the early front runner for a rookie spot?

 

[JuddgementDay]

Yep we are managing expectations and regulations. There’s quite a few that are on the cusp of the AFL list.

Durdin

ok - what happened to two train on players per available spots remaining?

Midfield depth is important, so that when our A team rests - the B team is not so far behind in level

That's why I said managing expectations and regulations ... Phillips and Evans have signed with the VFL team and White is still VFL listed. And why Sellwood is not training at all.

[Opium]

Given he was the leading possession winner in the VFL & it was wet, I can’t see him having any issue slotting straight in. He had 32,27,24, will be ready to go round 1, be lightly framed isn’t a concern

He's a footballer first and foremost. Finds the ball at will and great reader of the play. Will play round one if fit.
