List Mgmt. Hawk's List Management for 2025

[TheFourPillars]

Next season we will need to expose more fringe players to the line up without effecting performance. Come this time next year we will need to cash in on some players in the trade period.

No chance players earn their spot we are full steam ahead.

Who are you thinking of?

It doesn't matter who it is players earn their spot

Wont be easy. Competition for spots is off the chain.

Exactly we are not doing that.

 

[I got the outside word]

Don’t play depth for the sake of playing depth. It’s ****ing go time.

The fact that we didn't lose any depth players during the trade period is a huge tick for the club. Our players are prepared to back themselves to fight for a spot in the 22, which keeps everyone on their toes. A great position to be in going into next season.

Someone who was borderline 22 or depth this year - but then spends all season at Box Hill in 2025 - will NOT be "depth" anymore. They might step in and be able to cope physically, but they will be on a different plane to the rest of the team.

They won't have that intrinsic understanding of the system, their team-mates, etc. The advantage of training and playing together every week is that you start to "predict" what your team-mate is going to do. That fraction of a second is barely noticeable, but is the difference between breaking clear into space, or having your opponent close enough to slow you down.

I'd hope even without injuries we manage to run another half-dozen players through the 22. It's not "gifting" a spot - we're still picking the next best available, but we are keeping a larger list 'ready' for finals.

Ideally, every player in our 22 can be rested for any niggle, we have replacements ready to step up. Individually, players would be reluctant to step out for "one week" - if their replacement has a great game, they may get relegated to Box Hill!

And exactly what we needed to do in the finals this year when Finn, Morrison and Ward all got a chance to step up, and arguably all performed well. Serong to a lesser extent also.

I think we need a midfielder with some break neck speed from the contest!
Very hard to find or do we already have someone that can adapt??

If he oils his arms up like Selwood did then there'd be practically zero chance of stopping him on the move.

 

[Books]

I just can't see how North Melbourne and West Coast wouldn't match any free agency bid! They can't afford not to. Losing those two players would be catastrophic for there rebuilds.

True, but if they finish bottom 3, then the FA compo would be better than any trade.
All we need to do is convince the player.
