The Unofficial List Management thread... :-)

[Strapping Young Lad]

Burgoyne ain't going anywhere.

 

[Since 2001]

Agreed - potential for a big upside there if he lives up to (my) expectations

plus with the draft picks we have, its likely right now they won't be better than Jono either. Plus its always good to have depth and if he gets healthy and can string games together I personally see him in our best 22

 

[Roddy]

Burgoyne ain't going anywhere.

Nope. Going to be great to see him get to 350. 400 would be incredible but that may just be a bridge too far.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

What sort of a high grade midfielder could we get for Sicily in a trade ?
Come at me

 

[bradburygold]

Wasnt sure where to post but list mgt thread seemed right. They can f*** right off

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

It's still a possibility which is good enough for me.

...and like the possibility this young lass will buy me a drink in a bar one night...

 

[Dank You Steven]

Think you're not taking into account how much Cyril loves the Club.

You're forever retired, but only get the chance to play whilst the body is good. He'll be around for another 3-4 years at least

Hope you're right!

Hey what about tyrone ? .... no one's mentioned him

If Graham Wright is named I will cry a bit

 

[threesixpio]

But Buckers could always step on up

We will have Lynch, May, Martin and there 2018 1st rounder in return or the GTFO.

A lot will depend on what free agent we bring in, we may not be in a position to offer Doc and Schoenmakers new contracts. Adelaide would be keeping an eye on Ryan especially with McGovern looking elsewhere.

O'Rourke and Lovell get new contracts, both due for a change of luck and both fit a list profile we need to secure.

I can also see Ross Lyon enquiring about Ben Stratton especially with Dawson and Johnson leaving. Could net us Balic and a late pick.

Whitecross stays purely as a depth player, gives his all and is a great leader.

I think we let go Willsmore, Fitz, Surman, Hodge and Gibbo.

Elevate Glass and Cousins.

What's the point of having a list manager at GCS? I thought cockroach did all the negotiating and made all the decisions?

Sicily is off to Carlton, part of a agreement with those late trade swaps that finally helped us get O'Meara.

Geez I hope not!! Where did you hear that?

 

[lollihawk]

It's not a case of whether he can keep playing, but he's been in MEL for 14 years now, has a kid, and may do as a few have said - what else can I achieve in the next 2-3 years?

Did I miss something? When did Cyril have a kid?

+ Gold Coast take on half of each of those players salary

I'd rookie JOR. No one is going to come after him given his hammy issues and frees up a spot on our main list.

 

[Todman]

Around the time he got dropped earlier in the season. Also heard Lachie Whitfield could be on our doorstep at seasons end.

I'd honestly rather give them O'Meara then Sicily.

Well if that's the payoff...

 

[KermitJagger]

Phew, I was concerned we'd lose Sicily until you said that bit about Whitfield.

Naaaaah, wasn't he rumoured to be part of a trade to Carlton last year to get us a pick to help get O'Meara? Think wires are gettign crossed. If we wanted to do a deal we would ahve done it last year. Can't see Siss going.

Bullshit.

Need to hold onto Graham Wright at all costs, he's our next most valuable asset after Clarko. As for actual list management, will echo most of what has already been said:

Luke Hodge: retire
Josh Gibson: retire (if not then trade)
Jack Fitzpatrick: retire
Luke Surman: retire
Shaun Burgoyne: play on (the champ easily has 1 more season left in him if the body holds up)
Grant Birchall: play on (really hoping that injuries this year doesn't mean he'll pull the pin early, we look so much more cohesive in the backline when he plays)
Brendan Whitecross: possibly trade? (love the bloke and the way he goes about it, he really deserved to be apart of the flags, but unfortunately life doesn't work out that way and I can't see him getting any senior footy at the club any time soon)
Tim O'Brien: re-sign
James Sicily: re-sign
Kieran Lovell: re-sign
Kurt Heatherley: re-sign (still a little raw imo but has done enough)
Blake Hardwick: re-sign
Jonathon Ceglar: re-sign
Ryan Burton: RE-SIGN RE-SIGN RE-SIGN
Kade Stewart: re-sign
Ryan Shoenmakers: re-sign (genuinely surprised at how well he's playing this year)
