Strategy List build: Draft, trade 2024-

[Jen2310]

You would take Harris if she put herself in the open draft. But Centra the next best.
Imagine you go with the best available at that high in the draft, so you'd think either Harris or Centra.
Maybe with our 2nd rounder, could see who is available for needs.
The fact we should get two players before a bid will be nice.

Looking at our OOC players. Who stays who goes. I assume we will contract our 3 draftees of last year.

Now that Livingstone has retired:

Barnett
Atkinson I guess being a rookie has a 1 year?
Fowler
Sansonetti
Last years 3 draftees. (we'll obviously keep)
Eleri Morris
Brazalle
Blair
The replacement players in Ingrim, Ivey, Evans, Remmos
Sheridan, I dont see coming back, but we'll see.

Hate to see them cut too deep. If we can add 4-5 through the draft I’d be happy with that, especially as we’ll likely add 3 of the top 30ish prospects if power rankings are any guide. Pace and skill the 2 traits desperately needed. See if we can find a KPD and/or a ruck with later picks.

 

[TradeDraft]

Could we trade Pick 1 for a Star?

or

Do we Keep Pick 1?

KEEP

You don't trade a pick 1. Its not everyday you get that sort of draft currency and there are some elite talent in the top end of the draft
Even in the mens you wouldn't do that.

Yeah, might be over a few years, but don't think we can cut too deep in one year, 2-3 (4?) draftees. Does anyone want a trade? Usure.

Are we any realistic chance of landing Harris? She’d be a perfect player and in a place of need, and a unique utility player, can play mid/ruc/fwd. Very Blicavs like role which is rare

Would be nice. Depends whether she'll nominate for the suns. But if not, Centra is a very good choice as well.

I'm keeping
Barnett
Remmos
Brazzale for depth from that lot.

Add Fredrick to the delist with the rest above

I think Frederick has another year.
Not sure we can afford to cut that much as we wont have the draft picks to replace them all.
From my research:

2024
Sheridan
Schutte
Blair
Cronin
Brazalle
Morris
Clark
Sansonetti
Fowler
Atkinson?
Barnett
Ingrim
Evans
Ivey
Remmos

2025
Frederick
Lee
Porter
Taylor
Campbell
Morris-Dalton
Karlson
Hyde
Howarth

Watching the presser from the game on the weekend, there was questions asked to Sam about list management and whether we go after big name players in the trade period
Unsure what to make of his answer, as he mentioned focused on rentention and analysing the list first

I'm not sure we can afford to be too involved in trade period. Unless its player for player trades

The Trade Period in December provides an opportunity for the Pies to "aggressively assess" their list.


Wright says his focus is on retaining "talent that we want to retain" and he believes that the Pies can do so, and have the potential to be a destination club despite their season because of their culture and proud history.


"The thing about our group is that they keep turning up, they genuinely just want to play football next week," Wright says.


"We're really happy with our culture, we feel like that's absolutely progressed. We've got a framework we live by and that's being an AFLW Collingwood person. We know that the football side of things will improve."

Pies confident over path forward despite difficult season

Despite a tough 2024 season, the Magpies are confident they know the way forward

Ash Centra is a better kick than most of the mens team

Rather we focused on the draft.

 

[Jen2310]

Rather we focused on the draft.

I agree. So hopefully this doesn't happen
And looks like she's another small forward anyway. Not moving the needle.

She be worth a 2nd Round Pick?

 

[Couch Coach]

Depends upon the cost.

She is only 19 (20 in a month).

Would be nice. Depends whether she'll nominate for the suns. But if not, Centra is a very good choice as well.

Hey Jen2310

Can you update me on a few things please? I've gone through the previous posts but aren't sure of the state of play on a few things.

1. What picks do we have? I presume we have at least No.1 What else?
2. I've seen a few highlights of Harris and she would be my number 1 target. We haven't had a proper ror imposing uck since I dunno..... Sharni? ... Frederick's been serviceable for the last 2 seasons but it's standing out like dog balls we need a proper talent to take over that role. What other rucks are there worth noting?
3. Is Harris an academy player or something? .. and therefore can nominate the Suns?
4. I agree Centra is a very, very good choice and seems to be a ripping kick. Zippy seems to be a good kick too. Who else are good kicks? I personally think we are the worse kicking team in the league, and it's no surprise Hawthorn dramatic improvement happened due to their new coach filming the players and working on their kicking has done wonders.

I personally think we are the worse kicking team in the league, and it's no surprise Hawthorn dramatic improvement happened due to their new coach filming the players and working on their kicking has done wonders.

1. Apart from the #1 pick, it's hard to to say, will have to wait til the finals are finish for that to be determined but probably something like
1, 19, 37, 55 before bids.
2. I do agree we need another ruck at some point. Someone athletic. I'm not sure who is available or in the draft for that, but probably more pressing needs.
3. yeah, she's a suns academy player, and she can nominate them if she wants
4. We definitely need more quality players who can kick, that much is clear, centra would be our next best option if Harris nominates the suns.

Surprised to see some of these ladies delisted but wish them all the best. With Livingston’s retirement, does that leave us 4 or 5 list spots to take to the draft? Not sure where we’re at with Sheridan’s inactive spot being filled.

I assume some of them but surprised with Brazalle.

That would be 5 spots, depending what happens with Sheridan

I’m more surprised by Fowler being delisted given our lack of forward-ruck options. Probably squeezed by Barnett’s form.

I’d assumed we were +1 on our list given we’d replaced Sheridan while still retaining her on our inactive list so either she comes back and/or we’re (at this stage) retaining Evans. That’s why I’m thinking 4 spots.

I'm not too surprised on fowler, she was dropped many times this year as we went with Barnett/Sabrina and she's 31.
You might have a point there. Could be 4.

Fowler is one of the first to go IMO , not surprised at all, has offered nothing really for 3 years. Well done to her on a decent length career, but doesn't like contact , doesn't compete in the air, games past her.
Coach has made his assessments can't say I disagree with any at this stage.
Let's just hope we can fill those spots with upgrades.

Given many of the players we added last year will be like new recruits, adding 4 via the draft could dramatically change the look of the team in 2025.

Yeah I imagine it could look much different next year. Younger.
