List Mgmt. 2024 Draft Thread

[_Mike_]

FYI

Will add a 2024 NAB Draft & Trade tracker thread, stickied.

Tag me when we have a confirmed trade/draft and I will update the thread accordingly

 

[Wizard17]

So probably taking another DFA?

I like the way we ****ed over Essendon not taking their pick swap offer, who then went on to pick the ruck Cats wanted, so we ****ed them over too. Doggies do hold a grudge, and don’t dispense favours to those who don’t play trade fairly.

 

[weltschmerz]

Delisting players with the intention of redrafting them as rookies is ****ing around and Freo was the club to then find out.

Yep Freo messed that right up.

Funny, because last time it was GC who screwed up

Greenwood was well past it though. Knobel still has alot of potential.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Some of the Fremantle fans are pissed off

 

[Sentinel]

Apparently Knobel was in the middle of training at Freo when Gold Coast swooped, and he got told mid-session

Pack your bags son!

They were the ones that delisted the young lad they should be angry at their list manager more then anything

 

[weltschmerz]

I think more clubs should draft the guys that got delisted in order to be rerookied. It’s very funny and would hopefully discourage teams from the delist-rerookie farce.

It’s even funnier that GC absolutely don’t need a ruckman.

It’s not sitting well with the Fremantle fans lol

 

[Norm De Guerre]

The rookie draft and system seems to be working to its new intent of giving old guys on the fringes of the side extra years of superannuated top ups in salary.

If a rookie draft happens and so few actual rookies get recruited.

Did it really happen.

Surely its time to take the concept out behind the woodshed for a bit of a talk.

 

[Deadly Darcy]

There are hard luck stories every year but I thought Phoenix Hargrave had done just enough to get a chance today.

A few teams have passed so he can still make a list over the pre-season.

If you react like this, to something so minor, you really have some personal issues sadly. Be happy for the kid that he gets another shot.

 

[ossie_21]

The rookie draft is not all doom and gloom.

It’s great to see youngsters get a chance to show what they’ve got and hopefully show what they are capable of.

Hopefully a promising future in sight for the likes of Ivisic, Day-Wicks, Gunston & Eastham

What a bunch of unhappy campers.

Think people forget the rookie draft has the option for 30+ years old to be on the veterans lists

We did it with Doc

 

[doggiesin08]

Getting a good look at them over summer without the commitment.

I wonder if the thinking is also that it gives you a chance to see how your existing list is developing through preseason. Whether we need or want a stop gap mature ruck could depend on whether Tim is getting headaches and how goos Lachie Smith is looking in February after a big training block.

 

[Munnez]

Does Davidson play hhf or wing, his highlights show him as a lead up forward

Cut up our VFL side with smart running patterns and accurate goal kicking.
