List Mgmt. Trade & Free Agency talk Pt 4

[Tiger_Of_Old]

8 30 plus in best 22 well it's getting near Geelong territories.

Same applies to their vfl side.
Whereas ours.

Next year, if caddy stays and Tarrant come in that, is 11 over the 30s since you bring in numbers. But again was been cheeky with This is Anfield I don't give a rats arse of how old our players are as long as we can win it.

Riewoldt. Edwards. Cotchin. Grimes. Might be gone by then..

 

[fargothegreat]

Very tall. Essentially four key position size.

Daniel Rioli and short will need to be on their toes

Maybe balta forward?

Same structure we played with in 2017/18. Broad, Vlastuin and Grimes especially can all play on smaller opponents. Short and Rioli will be able to go all out attack with those blokes down there.

I have absolutely no insight into what happens behind closed doors at RFC. It's just my 2 cents here but if you've got the bulk of a playing list that has won 3 flags and guys like Dusty with still some time left on the clock to produce incredible footy surely you'd have to think it's still pedal to the floor.

Why think about contending for a flag in about 3-5 years with a young list? What I mean is, flags are very hard to win and the only thing absolutely guaranteed by going rebuild now is that we will do a rebuild. No guarantee of any flags. There is still the chance with the list we have to eek out at least 1 more. There is nothing overly exciting about a rebuild. There is something very exciting about contending.

Given the quality of footy from the opposition this year nearly every team that qualified in the top 8 was vulnerable. Not one of them was truly fearsome. Without us competing is a given one of the others will win it.

Get our list fit and healthy in the preseason and load up the tension in the arms shoulders and back and swing for the fences one last time!!! Freaking eat em alive Tigers!! I'm ready to storm the empty pitch at the MCG right now who is with me!!!????

One last time Tigers!!!... Until we win the cup next year then can do a John Farnham and run one last time campaigns as much as we want!! Even with these other campaigner teams playing off in the GF next week no one is better than us when we rolling and ruling!!!

I didn’t really think about it like that. Well said!

without getting too scientific I think its a case by case to a degree. Caddy I think is obviously dropping off. JR is an underrated all timer, same with Grimes to a degree, Edwards light, Pickett light to and more cameo with less wear and tear role specific. i think Lambert might taper but he applies himself and look at Harvey of North. Martin is generational and can play forward anyway and Cotch we will see. Cotch might still be effective in a less involved role where the youngsters take on more of the in and under. So I think it could be a little different. None played the finals Selwood played early in his career and his battering. Prestia is an interesting one in terms of how his body is going and Lynch is KPP forward and they do not grow on trees or get shorter.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Why don't we just move Balta f

Fffff

Fffffffffffffffff !!!

Fff !!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFF !!!!

Dammit !

Why don't we just leave Balta where he is.

Booooooooooo

Hummm what next year? they will be playing but I fear cotch may not be similar to rance may call it depends on how his body is pre season

 

[Muddiemoose]

Vlastuin is not KPP size and Broad and Grimes are nimble enough

The one who I wouldn’t mind experimenting on the wing is Broad, before his injury this year he looked like he had taken his game to another level and I think he would be a very good modern wing player

 

[Grrr]

but he is a gun back, was probably our best before injury.

 

[Muddiemoose]

I wasn't including floss but he is pretty big for the 5th defender

1. Tarrent.
2. Balta.
3. Grimes.
4. Broad.

Don’t just look at the heights.
Check out playing weights
Two of those guys play about 10kg heavier than the others and we need them both down back against teams with multiple big key forwards

 

[beema limapep]

I dunno if its been mentioned, but I'm just gunna put this out there - now that we have Tarrant, what do people think about throwing Balta fwd?

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

I think we're a team that will contend for finals not flags

They know this

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

I dunno if its been mentioned, but I'm just gunna put this out there - now that we have Tarrant, what do people think about throwing Balta fwd?

How far forward?!?

 

[Grrr]

Clear out Lynch and Riewoldt, Balta's paddock.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Balta's BACKYARD!!!

 

[petro12]

8 30 plus in best 22 well it's getting near Geelong territories.

8 of them all multiple premiership players. There’s a difference

 

[Karp3_dm]

Yeah that info about Balta isn’t correct. I can confirm he’s started light training and back for preseason unless any thing happens from here. Balta almost certainly a starter for Round One with Tarrant, Grimes, Broad, Vlastuin. Premiership defence right there.

That’s a premiership defense base right there!

There's also Miller, remember.

And Weideman.

 

[blaisee]

I reckon if we can somehow offload caddy’s salary, a lot of opportunities will open up for us.

Long shot, but I bet Blair is working overtime on this.

 

[Muddiemoose]

And Weideman.

We don’t even know if Miller will be with us next year, and if he’s actually up to the level
Would prefer we know 100% before making any decisions about Balta

 

[Marcel Proust]

any mention if we are still interested in Talia after the Tarrant news

I doubt they'd want both.

Talia sounds cooked too

 

[tigerdan]

Nothing like adding a bit of sensationalising, sure you don't work for the Sun.
He may well have a chat with his manager and ask it there are any takers.

Not that easy getting a gig in the best backline in the league over the last few years, Rance, Grimes, Broad, Astbury, Balta, Vlastuin..... stuff all VFL and injury.

Sensationalising? C'mon man i'm not the one making sensational claims that a one-gamer is going to leave because we drafted a 33 year old.

Drafting Tarrant is more like drafting Chapman or Graham. A strong body to take the hits on the ground and along with Grimes, teach the young guys how to play the game.

Look at it this way. If Miller is good enough he'll make the position his own from Rd 1 and Tarrant will be good injury backup. And if Miller isn't good enough then we've filled a hole that would otherwise be plugged by Garth (unless he's delisted beforehand) or we have to play an undersized defender and probably get smashed against the teams with two big forwards.

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Balta's BACKYARD!!!

Just need a photoshop whiz to edit this accordingly

It's hardly sensationalist to say a bloke who is 23 is going to look further afield perhaps after he finds himself in the reserve backup category again.
You reckon he is not champing at the bit to play AFL after 5 years, they all are. Why did CCJ leave and he is younger.

Of course Tarrant will be there rd.1. I just wish we had looked a bit harder for a player in a better age bracket.
