List Mgmt. 2025 List Management 📃

[Soapy V]

I don’t get why we are wasting train on spots on Durdin, Carroll and McMahon.

They have all been at the club long enough to know if they are worth the list spot or not. If yes then give them a spot.

They could keep fit away from the club and we could use the train on for players we don’t know about. Phillips, Hotton & Selwood could have been given an opportunity.

FFS Durdin has played 2 games in 5 years at the club and got injured again in both of those games.

I understand it

Durdin and Carroll is more about proving fitness. Durdin can fill a role we need help in and Carroll only had one year and it was ruined by injury. Let's see how McMahon goes with a full pre season and a heap of match sims etc against our Senior guys

Certainly no downside and we get see how really hungry they are. Also, back up if someone goes down in pre season

I’m not saying don’t select them.

We know what they offer already, give them a programme to follow away from the club (shows how hungry they are).

Bring in some players who aren’t already at the club, to get a first hand look at. Then select from what we need.

McMahon should be rookie listed at worst, I’d be disappointed if a club swooped in and grabbed him under our noses.

Have to disagree with you on this Tenacious

I like that we are trying a few, ensure they get through pre season, and then deciding. I see a lot of positives in it. No need to commit straight away

 

[SaintsShez]

I really rated Hotton as a junior. Pity

Unlucky. Really hope he gets another go.

Jagga Smith on the inside, allows Walsh and Cerra to flourish more on the outside…

Throw in Lord, Wilson pretty decent midfield

Yeah I'm not sold on that.
We have Cripps as the ONLY big bodied mid now that Chugga has gone.
Sure Hewitt can pinch hit, but Walsh & Cerra are not big bodies and not even reliable bodies at present.
Lord and Wilson are still learning the craft and are not big bodies.
If we add Smith, we basically have a bunch of young skinny kids as backup in the midfield.
I think we'd be mental not to take Langford, but at this point I think I'd rather take Draper over Jagga as the next mid.
Nothing against Smith, he's an absolute gun, but we need a big body to develop support for Crippa.

Times are changing. Teams arent running those big slow inside mids, as much anymore. Instead its becoming more common to have a bunch of balanced mids who share the grunt work and can win the ball inside and out.

Cerra is a big guy, Ben Camporeale will be a big guy, Jagga and Lord will be small but strong, Walker will be big. Think we'll be ok.

I have more faith in Lord to step up, than waiting on Campos & Walker to develop, but that said I dont think they'll be far off.

Another thing that worries me is that we have a game plan that is very much suited to big bodied mids, so if we are going to change the Game Plan to adapt, it will have to start this preseason.

Cripps, Hewett, Cerra is a fairly big midfield in general. All 3 have considerable muscle mass compared to other midfielders around the league.

I think we will. I suspect our coaches know its not the ideal gameplan for the modern game but we are hamstrung by personal. As we get the runners in, the gameplan will shift.

Not sure how Cerra's surgery went but I think first time he breaks down Lord may need to become a prime mover.

Cripps
Walsh
Cerra
Hewett
Jagga/Draper
Lord
Elijah

We'll be fine even if we miss Cerra for a stretch. Thats a quality midfield unit if they're healthy.

Yeah, he's going to be a weapon. Be ideal if he puts on another couple of cm's

I don't know; crouching in the middle of ground with your foot sticking out, as if you have cramp, and not disposing of the ball is not going to provide us with a lot of scoring opportunities.

 

[Arr0w]

Viney, Neale, Prestia, Laird, Atkins, Rowell, Serong, Adams, Mitchell, Parker, etc

All shorter

Nice photo. I am yet to be convinced of our Lord's work.

Jagga Smith on the inside, allows Walsh and Cerra to flourish more on the outside…

Cody Walker will compliment them well as our burst power player soon

IMO 184cm & ~85kg isn't really big bodied.
