Strategy Trade and List Management Thread Part 7 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

About right. I think the odds of picking a gem untried mature player (ie Picken, Dicko, Morris, Boyd) is a fair bit higher. Would rather go down that path.

Ben Cavarra Will Hayes Robbie McComb types?

 

[W W Biscuit]

They could bust out some 70’s disco numbers as a sideline.

Blame It On The Bevo

The saddest thing about this list is it includes two players that lead our goal kicking in the last decade.

I wish nothing but the best for him. He made the right decision for himself and his footy career.

At least those two players got to fulfil a childhood dream!

The DFAs you want are the ones where a team has too many types in that role and are young. Look at Hamling. Pushed out because he couldn't break into Geelong's backline which was still stacked in 2014.

Exactly like Brisbane's medium/small defenders.

 

[Doggy]

Do we have an interest in Prior though?

 

[goodcop badcop]

Exactly like Brisbane's medium/small defenders.

Don't know too much about them. But by the sounds of it, they needed to delist a few more then they normally would have because of the Ashcroft and Marshall bids. Needed as many picks and points as necessary.

 

[Mojorisin]

Do we have an interest in Prior though?

Not that I'm aware of but I think we should.

 

[DannyB4]

Move over the Baileys here comes the Jaxons.

The Bailey's, the Jaxon's and the Rhylee/Ryley/Riley's.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Jaxon Prior as a DFA could be alright for a small defender option? Pretty stiff to be delisted

Prior over Paton?

You can't ask for much more than a good bloke and absolute professional.

Go well Jack.

Paton is off to the Giants.

Playing for St Kilda is a fate worse than death, but I hope he goes well.

For those who attended the best and fairest, did Macrae give a speech?

coming through and (Harvey) Gallagher, a few players who offer a different dynamic to me,” he said.

“So it was nothing personal. The conversations I had with ‘Bevo’ were always upfront and honest."

“When I went to the VFL a few times it was important to me to have a strong mindset and be a really good leader because it can be easier to throw the toys out of the cot."

“I really wanted to show I could get on with it and be a real pro in those areas and I feel like I did that.”

Old mate down the highway should have a read of that article.

One leaves the club arguing with randoms on IG and posting "look at me" videos in his jocks. The other leaves full of class and with the best wishes of everyone at the club.

Champion Jacko!

He seems to play tallish? Not sure he's a need with Freijah rolling through there and Coffield on the list

 

[Mofra]

Ben Cavarra Will Hayes Robbie McComb types?

Sam Davidson from Richmond's VFL side if it pans out

 

[Claudonious]

What makes you say his unfit tho? Is it because he doesn’t cover the ground? or because he isn’t chiselled? Fair enough if he can’t run or he got injured every second week.

Tyson Fury is one of the best boxers of a generation. He looks worse than Crossley. Fury can box 12 rounds easily in one of the most demanding sports without looking like Wolverine (Ditto Foreman post retirement).

Looks aren’t everything when it comes to cardio fitness.

If that's what you think - good on you.I think he is not in a condition to play AFL level football. Sure - he is very match fit. fit enough to move well all day in the VFL. The reality is he would be exploited in the AFL unless he took his fitness to another level.He would acknowledge that no doubt.

Not that much taller than Dureya?

Isn’t Freijah a long term winger? He was drafted as one I think he’s a half back for now just to get used to the level.
