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

Also what happened to the roos and they are still paying for holding on to an old list for far too long. Can't make the same mistake that they did.

Except they have now traded old guys back in again and are right back where they were when they kicked the quartet out in one year….except they are shitter than then

Haven’t followed the players in the draft this year much….but just saw an article about a kid who fooled Essendon and idolises Merrett and Bont….his name Jack Ough…..tell it’s a joke and his parents didn’t call him Jack with a surname like Ough….

Don’t care how you pronounce it….its as bad, if not worse than Callum Murray

It rhymes with plough, but yep I've been making jokes about Jack Ough since the u17s futures game last year.

What’s wrong with LDU?

Who does he replace?

Shouldn't be looking other clubs about age and such and look at the rebuild dogs did in 2011-2014. Delisted and traded everyone except the leaders in Bob, boyd Morris Wood & Roughy. North delisted all their leaders in 1 swoop and it shows how bad that went because now they're bringing back in leadership type players to repair the damage. They tried previous years with bringing in fringe players and it didn't help.

It was a bit of a happy accident we even retained those leaders. The only one McCartney rated was Roughy.

Clooney spoke about it a few weeks ago and, while it aligned a fair bit with what had been said here over the years, it was still bizarre hearing how close to total self-immolation the playing group was when he left.

We did sort of get it right though. Kept enough leadership to guide the emerging players and backed kids in in important roles.

There’s a transition happening whether we like it or not, but if you look at our run with first rounders as against North and Adelaide’s in the last 10 or so years it’s night and day. We’ve picked good players every time (hard to judge Buss and Croft but other than that all the others are at least capable).

Continue to nail the first rounders and don’t hold onto list cloggers and we’ll be ok.

Was never leaving once they won the flag and he played his part with that super important role in the prelim.

On 450k a year….for the lifestyle…..it’s ****ing Geelong people not the Sunshine Coast

Apologies to all Geelong residents here but you get my point

It’s the hidden Cotton On money in Geelong that ensures they get who they want and don’t lose any players that they want to keep. Since 2016, when Cotton On came on board, they have only lost Tim Kelly and that was for a homesick wife.
These ****wit footy journos need to do their job and uncover it.
