List Mgmt. Our Trade/FA, Suburban & Country Town Thread

[The Royal Sampler]

Moore’s form was career worst in 2024, there were times where he should have been dropped for Dean.

Hahahaha no there weren’t.

Then again if, say, Reef goes even okay playing down back this coming year, he’s an easy retain at end-2025 because we have so many older players retiring and no draft picks.

I think next trade period we'll be aiming for a 2022 trade scenario with some cheapies.

Even if the way the rookie list works in practice is a bit weird, Cornes calling it a "disgrace" this morning smacks of him trying to over-extend himself in creating a headline. I can think of a lot more disgraces in AFL than putting a 28 year old on the rookie list.

There are bigger disgraces but doesn’t preclude it from being a disgrace.

He played the last 2-3 games in the vfl there off no pre-season in that position. I think he would adjust fine.

Good to know, hopefully it works not just for him, but for us.

Was he playing as a tall?

Your head will be anywhere but around it after you medicate.

Definitely see this coming season as the last dance for the pies, a lot going to depend on injuries and the form of the pensioners on our list. Fading stars that they are, and we do have a lot of them in the 30+ category.

If we fall short, we are going to have to go to the well, trade ourselves into the next couple of drafts and rebuild the list.

Wouldn't say "definitely", it is a strong possibility.

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

Literally makes ZERO sense to not get Tomlinson, the cupboard is absolutely bare currently for KPD.

If someone picks up AJ or Markov then sure. But we need to make 3 draft selections and everyone else has a contract. I think we are going to take 2-3 tall KPP in the draft and hope that between Moore, Dean, Frampton, Howe, Maynard, McInnes and the new players, we can cover a couple tall opposition forwards.

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

The moment we re-signed reef and long was the moment we washed our hands of Tomlinson. Unless we put HH on inactive list and trial him through pre-season.

I like the idea. With HH injured until late in the season the only reason why you wouldn't add Tomlinson imo would be because of cap space. Let's get it done.

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

I think Pendles might retire. The others will go when they're pushed (unless it's a significant injury) - it'll be called retirement though.

I'm betting on Howe and Sidey to be allowed to roll on and Titch to be pushed but it'll depend on next year's form. Cox might depend on Smit and Steene.

Also if Condon comes in and performs close to AFL standard then Cox probably won't be offered a contract unless he has an outstanding season.

That could be a reason too. Maybe cap is tight given we decided to use all the rookie list spots and less on the seniors, and are paying big dollars to houston and perryman.
But I'm not sure if or when they'll pull the trigger on HH, they may see his recovery goes and could open up a spot even preseason, or.. MSD.

We'll wait and see.

Stats look good but it is VFL so who knows.

For someone that hadnt trained there until late in the season, I'd say he went pretty well. As well as to be expected.
The would also give him spells in the middle as well as down back.

I dont think that will help, but, you will feel better

 

[HoraceStrasbork]

massive and vile vitriol against him on social media ultimately needing him to delete his account, had a huge impact on his confidence.

People can be cruel for no reason What did he do to deserve this treatment beside nothing at all

It's such a shame that HH did his knee - I thought he was just about to explode.
He has strength, speed and footy smarts.
Can't wait to see him back.

Yeah, really sucks for him. I was just watching part of that swans vfl game earlier and you feared the worst at the time. Poor kid.

Its a reflection of themselves, guaranteed they themselves are under achievers

 

[localfootylegend23]

Will be gutted if we lost Markov despite the intention to re-rookie him.

I love oleg's personality and the way he goes about it. However there is a reason he is at his 3rd club, he isn't that good


With houston coming in he is just injury depth now. Assuming parker has a really solid pre season and gets the chance to nail down a spot. Need Quaynor back at his best too, and for the love of god leave frampton back, no throwing him around to fill holes. Dean needs another pre season or two under his belt, like the look of him though.

Do we know what we're paying Houston? Becuase he was on a contract that was favourable for Port, so have we restructured the contract with him coming over? If it's the same then he's not getting paid near what Perryman is.

 

[celestial]

If Moore goes down you really want both Dean and Frampton holding down both spots?

Think we are going to have to draft 2 tall defenders. We can't take Moore's availability for granted. Drafting a kpf isn't a priority as we can always swing Howe forward and also now have the added benefit of having membrey as fwd cover.

This side can function with a decimated fwd line, especially when it is our kpf's who are out with injuries, but we will struggle mightily if our kpd stocks are struck with injuries.
