List Mgmt. List Management 2024-25

[Coobk001]

He’s in his own bucket, we can have up to 3 category B rookies at a time.

I believe our current list position is:

• main list 33
• rookie list 4
• cat B 1

That means we can add 3-5 players to the main list, 0-2 rookies and 2 category B rookies.

Benny Barrett can be a cat B rookie as an NGA prospect but father/sons are normal rookies if they miss out in the national draft.

I suspect they'll put Logan Evans straight on the main list and that'll make it 4 x ND picks and 1 x rookie.

The biggest hole in our list currently is a 3rd tall forward who can chop out in the ruck. I’ve seen nothing to suggest Lord can do that and enough to know Finlayson can’t.

Ratugolea and Soldo can do the 20% ruck part but not sure either can hold down a spot in the forward line.

Yeah, I've got KPF first on the list.

 

[Willsy10]

Clurey is a much smarter player and worked better with his teammates. Esava is a great size and a great athlete, but he doesn't quite have the skills or nous. I think he'll probably start the season in the SANFL.



Is he a clearly worse player than Esava, even now? I'm not sure that he is. I'd say it's pretty lineball.



Trengove was the victim of some really poor list management and Matthew Lobbe's ability vanishing.

We knew Ryder was going to get banned or at least we knew it was a big chance, and we didn't cover him. We then used Trengove in the ruck in 2016, remodeling the defence without him and deciding that he didn't fit our style anymore. We then play him as a forward in 2017 (where we were short due to another list management stuffup) which he's not suited to and we end up giving him away to the Bulldogs, where his heart isn't in it and his career peters out. I don't think it would have petered out as it did if we simply left him as a KPD the whole time.

I think Esava is better than clurey and Howard combined

There is nothing more certain than ‘bomb it into Esava’.

I'm going to have nightmares until Round 1 because of this post.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Add to that Reserves Leadership and Key Defender depth.

At 5th, I was going to put another KPD but someone mentioned we don't have a genuine 3rd tall even though I feel Jack might play a bit that way.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Could Lukosius fill that role?

I don't think Jack can go in the ruck. He's too soft. Watch Finny in the ruck, soft as butter. No good.

 

[Scodges]

There must be something else is going on with Scully.

At the start of his draft year, some people had him number 1 overall.

That's a pretty big fall.

I remember seeing him in the intra club match and thought yep, since then, nada

I’d still get rid of McEntee and/or Charleson to allow us to bring higher quality players through our first four draft picks, then Barrett and Burgoyne. Also leaves a spot for a DFA (eg DGB).

Who’s DGB ?

Has a team that made a prelim, ever delisted 2 of the players from that team?! Shows how pathetic our depth is, when 2 of your best 23 in a prelim get delisted.

Or the coaches tendency to pick spuds

 

[rainwizard39]

You forgot Narkle, but SPP comes back so it stays at 5.

I said Narkle at the start. He’s a rookie so I didn’t include him in the main list outs and ins.

 

[rainwizard39]

Does that include Jacob Moss who was added as a Cat B rookie late in the year?

No it doesn’t I’m unsure if cat B rookies count towards rookie lists or not.

 

[Lefti93]

It's actually ridiculous how they could pull the pin on a project local homegrown talent after 2 seasons whilst he's playing in the a trash side. The more I think about it the less sense it makes.

Ding ding!!

Maybe now that Clurey isn't on an AFL list, but Clurey's best footy just a few short years ago is clearly better than anything Esava has demonstrated for mine. And I don't mind him as a KPD.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

In the 2024 Draft thread I made two posts #469 and #478, saying I would cut/trade 12 + 8 = 20 players over the next 14 months from the final 2024 list of 43.

43 doesn't count Rookie B signing Jacob Moss in August. He has no form to comment how long he should or shouldn't stay on the list, plus technically he doesn't join the list until after the 2024 draft period.

Cut/trade in October/November 2024
3 Burton
4 Marshall
5 Houston, don't want to really get rid of him, but we get two decent 2024 1st round picks either direct or get a F1 and then retrade that for a 2024 first rounder, so be it.
10 Boak
12 Mckenzie
13 Soldo if he doesn't want to stay and play 2nd fiddle to Sweet
17 Clurey
22 Dixon
23 Williams
37 McCallum
41 McEntee
42 Narkle


In post #478 I wrote - In October 2025 I would cull / delist the following players if they don't have a big 2025
Cut/trade in October/November 2025
11 Finlayson
16 Wines
27 Ratugollea - *** when I wrote this I thought he had a 3 year contract. Found out later it was 5.
31 F Evans
33 DBJ
39 Jackson
40 K Marshall
44 Mead

was cut today so 8 of 20 above are gone. So 9 down and I wouldn't be surprised if another player, maybe two, is delisted before the draft.

Disappointed Scully got the chop. It means Lord, Georgiades, Luko and Rat are going to get first go barring serious injury, and Marshall and Finlayson will probably get a go early in the season but I doubt they will be there late in the season if we are charging to finals.
