List Mgmt. Hawk's List Management for 2025

[Slainte]

Fair concerns.

This is the big upside of us picking up Barrass and Battle is that we can throw some new formations out up forward to help out Dear and Chol, and Hardwick with Battle/Sicily/Weddle rotating through there is something that will be challenging to plan for. We'll also be able to keep guys like Impey, Amon etc playing attacking defensive running roles to help D'Ambrossio. Jiath is also more important than some give him credit for, and if he get get up and running and play at his best would be a formidable combination with Massimo on the wings. Also if MacKenzie breaks out to become a top line midfielder changes our dynamic as well.

Dear is pretty mobile and gets a fair way up the ground. We could get some interesting and unpredictable patterns with Weddle and Battle pushing forward as marking targets at times and Dear pushing back to provide a link from the last line (patrolled by Barrass with support from Scrimshaw and maybe Frost). Great to have that kind of flexibility if Dear is being blanketed.

Expecting The Wizz to be sweeping everything in the F50

When he was drafted and early this season, people questioned his impact.

He is a genuine match winner and his finals were superb. So much so he was looking to carry the team himself in the Port final.

We tried to isolate him 1 on 1 I50 against Port.

That's how high Sammy and co rate him.

With the rumor that we are looking to sign a second Cat B rookie what does that mean for Bennets? An upgrade to the main list or gets delisted?

He can't be upgraded because we have two senior list spots open and that's for our two (mandatory) draft picks.
Haven't heard much about a second CatB rookie anyway - just baseless rumours.

Anyone worried about Dear and Watson having second year blues that a lot of kids in the AFL have.

Yep. I would delist now to save the pain of being let down

I've been here a while and I still haven't figured out why Essendon is.

You can have up to 3 Cat B rookies on your list. Bennetts will likely sign a two year extension to stay at the club. We have Jaime Uhr-Henry who is another Category B rookie already on our list, having signed him in August.

If we do end up selecting Matt Hill, who is a Melbourne Storm development player currently playing in the Storm Jersey Flegg side, as a Category B rookie, it means that if we decide to take Codey Anderson, who is our NGA prospect, that we would need to select him in either the main or rookie draft.
