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

I'd give Jezza another year, let someone push him out and we'll know they deserve it.

 

[Jen2310]

If we dont make finals, or go our week 1, I can see a couple retiring, as they would see the chance for another flag has come and gone, given how hard it is.

 

[Ctracks]

A agree with some of the Collingwood players who have said they were surprised the club took Bytel over Ned Long

Which players, where/when did they say this?

 

[Jen2310]

WHE
Howe
Sidey
Pendles
Markov
Richards
Reef
Steene
Murphy
Kreuger

These players are on the senior list, who do you not give a contract to? Bare in mind you have to go to the draft and if you want to recruit anyone.

 

[ellesbells]

We Tonya Harding a few whipping boys and pick up Sofronidis, Long and Hutchinson in the mid season draft, problem solved.

 

[Jen2310]

Speaking of Hutchy.. from tonight

 

[JOELY]

Aliir isn't a different nationality. The other guys are Sudanese too. I've worked with a few Sudanese athletes. Getting big muscles doesn't tend to be an issue - core strength can take a while though. What tends to be off the charts is agility for the height.

Was a quick google so i might have been wrong, but I read Allir was from Kenya.

WHE
Howe
Sidey
Pendles
Markov
Richards
Reef
Steene
Murphy
Kreuger

You can delist rookies like Bytel and Carmichael and shift a few on your list to the rookies.

Probably born in a refugee camp in Kenya. He's definitely South Sudanese background.

You can. Though you'd have to delist them and re-rookie them. And have to make sure other clubs wouldn't pounce.

WHE
Howe
Sidey
Pendles
Markov
Richards
Reef
Steene
Murphy
Kreuger

I think Pendles and Sidey will retire. Who knows with Murphy. Kreuger needs to pull his finger out. Markov can't afford to continue this form. I'd keep Howe if he wants to continue and is playing ok.

3 of them. Someone else will probably leave for opportunity.

These vets decisions probably won't be until end of the year. Things can change, another year may feel too much by the time the season is out

I'd risk Krueger and Markov without losing too much sleep.

 

[No SPIN]

Why don’t you rate Markov?

 

[Jen2310]

Can someone that was just a rookie, then senior list for 12 months, go back to being a rookie? I assume there is no rule against it

 

[Go Woods]

WHE
Howe
Sidey
Pendles
Markov
Richards
Reef
Steene
Murphy
Kreuger

Wouldn't be offering a contract renewal to - WHE.
Krueger on thin ice, but hope he can finally string some games together and become a key target up forward.
Howe might not go on?
Markov needs to discover last year's form as he is surplus in his position.
The rest I expect to be on the list in 2025.

Bullshit. Check out Majak.

View attachment 1948425

Different body composition. Andrew has more slow twitch fibres. We can tell this from the size of his muscles and his body composition. More of an endurance athlete.

Majak has more fast twitch fibres which favour heavier builds. More of a sprinter.

It’s not just a case of coming from the same country. Different ethnic or tribal groups within a nation have different builds. It is likely that Daw and Andrew belong to different groups.

You can almost take Pendles off the list, same with Reef provided no major injuries happen.

Sidey veteran but is time up? Same with WHE. Markov not great in the VFL but not the worst, either. Premiership players seldom delisted that quickly.

Richards has been good in the VFL but who does he replace?

Steene raw, didn’t have a great pre-season (contrary to belief of fans, apparently numbers were not good) but has looked okay in limited games. Begg is gone .

Murphy (medical), Kreuger (medical) so hard to tell. If Murphy and Kreuger get their bodies right, they’ll stay, arguably challenge for the AFL side.

You are on another level of crazy.

If by sports science, then happy to be crazy. You can literally Google that stuff yourself about body compositions, you can also Google about how different tribes and ethnic groups within countries have different body types. Not tin foil hat stuff - proven sports science.

Look at endurance runners vs sprinters. That is because of genetics. Not everyone can just “bulk” and get buff. There’s more at play than that.

Dr. Google, I presume?

Day job related to sport, don’t need to dox myself.

This appears in some state’s pre-tertiary level PE course. It’s not really advanced or offensive. There are limitations certain bodies have to building muscle and the type of muscle that is built through training. It’s not to say Andrew couldn’t bulk a little but he is much more limited in what he can do than Daw.

I respect PE teachers. But just stick to what you know.

Yeah, this is true. Someone like Josh Fraser really struggled with this. But we're hardly going to stop drafting tall skinny white guys like Josh because that's how 'his people are built" Some of the dumbest shit i've seen on this forum.

I raised it as the poster was speculating if Andrew had put on mass, not to avoid it. Andrew and Jiath can improve strength, not so much mass. More about learning to use what they have.

Someone like WHE is a poster boy for slow twitch but his running is his greatest sporting asset.
