Strategy Trade and List Management thread 3 (...The pining for the departed. Edition)

Yeah, I'm certain it happened too, but seems to have disappeared

Was that Paul Stewart?

Swear I mix those 2 up all the time.

I know I've seen articles saying both were delisted on the afl site. Maybe there was an error in the initial reporting and the O'Shea articles have been pulled.

I'm not sure about his athleticism but Darcy Cameron from Claremont kicked 36 goals this season in addition to spending considerable ruck time (averaged over 20 hit outs per game).

He also improved his marking average to above 5 a game.

He's certainly worthy of a list spot. Especially considering he's getting better at hitting the scoreboard.

Topdog always talked about him

Yeah I though he did a bit. Cameron came good in the last wafl season.

I think he'd be worth a punt at 50. Same age as Ben Brown and Rory Lobb when they were drafted.

Must be a DFA now.. maybe it's Richards

Any other DFA contenders??

Richards seems the most obvious one.

Trying to think of anyone else that might be worth a go.
Obviously a DFA ruck could be considered.

Hey lads sorry to intrude but what is everyone's thoughts on Bailey Dale? Will he make it?

Stagnated a lot this season. Has pace, good skills and smarts, but lacks impact and his body isn't developing the way it should. He doesn't really have an inside game either.

If I had to guess I'd say by season end next year he will be on the trade table. If he has value that is. Too many in front of him.

Will be a very good player IMO. Needs to put a bit more weight on.

Hey lads sorry to intrude but what is everyone's thoughts on Bailey Dale? Will he make it?

Yeah will make it, just a tough team to crack

Hey lads sorry to intrude but what is everyone's thoughts on Bailey Dale? Will he make it?

Most on our board think he is a good thing , but jury still out for me.
very nice skill set , but light framed and vey much an outside player with that physique.

Interesting player. Shows a bit, very good kick, just doesn't seem to take the game by the scruff of the neck regularly at vfl level, but when he does he looks a cut above.

Not sure what he has to do to 'make it' other than adding some bulk and endurance and physical presence. Will be competing for spots with other youngsters Webb and Williams, but he might not get a full crack until Murphy, Boyd, Morris, Picken and Dickson finish up.

 

[Mighty_sainter]

Thanks, I saw him yesterday and he looks very lightly framed, very skinny!

 

[Super Hans]

First person to suggest picking up Dempsey gets executed.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Henry Schade delisted - recall we were interested a couple of years ago.

Back when lukas markovic and mark
Austin were our key defensive prospects.

Watched Schade a fair bit. Not really a fan.

Ahhhh I member.

Eli Templeton worth a punt?

No.


But what about Gach Nyuon?

I reckon this is the minority view but I agree.

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

No.


But what about Gach Nyuon?

Didn't he get into strife after a brawl/fight or something? If so, not sure how he'd go passing the no dickhead test.

 

[True Dog]

Hey lads sorry to intrude but what is everyone's thoughts on Bailey Dale? Will he make it?

Was always going to take time to grow into his body, has a huge preseason in front of him... I think the club will give him the time he needs and will make it.

I'd rather we'd have upgraded Roarke Smith. I'm happy Prudden is being re-rookied. Don't think he'll ever break into our best 22 but deserves another season with a fit body.

Would be surprised if we didn't pick up a DFA now, it looks likely that after the Stevens and Cloke trades that 50 will be our last selection. Not overly keen on any of them at the moment. I'd happily take Xavier Richards although I think he is very similar to Cordy and I think Cordy is better both as a forward and defender. Litherland, Schade and Cameron are in the same boat but I guess we shouldn't be expecting a DFA to be anything more than depth.

Biggs and Hamling turned out OK... If we can do it again it would be awesome
