Also, on our list management style.

Our game plan is a low risk style. We play a reasonable rigid structure with clearly defined roles. Players do take risks, but as many players have said, when you take the risk you better nail it or you’ll have a chat with the coach during your next rotation.

We put our risk into our list management. We go for players that have a massive upswing if we get it right, and we back ourselves to develop/repair the player to their upmost potential.

In this period, our top 22 have been protected and retained so low risk and our trades and draft all have been high risk in one way or another.

I think you have to take risks to get to the very top, and I’m comfortable with the way we manage ours. I shudder at the memory of trades like the Fev one, where the risk dominated everything.
