List Mgmt. 2024 List Mismanagement and Trading Part 2

[TBM]

I think they could make an impact. No reason why don't if we get a good one.

Just needs a coach that'll back them in and play them to their strengths...

 

[TBM]

So ideal list changes...

Outs
Sloane retired
Smith sanfl
Burgess delisted
Strachan delisted
Parnell delisted
McHenry trade for F4
Gollant for 3rd rounder

Ins:
(T Murray)
Cumming FA
Neal-Bullen for F2
Peatling & #49 for #25
Pick #4 - midfielder
Welsh
Next pick - ruckman

Keep Himmelberg & Hamill (rookie)

Like it, but let Himmelberg go IMO. Find another option and develop Murray.

Hamill I'd probably let go too... could be one concussion away from retirement anyway.

Imo Berg is important depth.

Would keep him instead of Stachan who can't even run out 4 quarters of AFL & allow us to draft/develop another ruckman & T Murray.

Burgess is not AFL standard.

Not fussed either way with Hamill.

if you honestly thought thilthorpe could ruck all year, ROB doesnt play except an odd game, then i would agree keeping berg but no other circumstances

 

[GreyCrow]

What about Crouch?

Do any of our potential recruits push him out?

. Not sure why, he was a stand-up only a year or two ago.

What about Crouch?

Crouch, Berry and Laird were all playing in the same team (and at times the same midfield) for parts of 2024. We can't have that in 2025.

I'm fine with Crouch staying in as a first-extractor, the other two should be out of the side before him. Berry could eventually take that role, but seriously needs to improve his fumbling and become a one-grab player / find more of the ball.

But there should only be room for 1 of those 2 in our midfield, and Laird shouldn't be anywhere near midfield any more.

I think Crouch could do with being managed at times during the season. He plays a lot differently when he is fresh, compared to coming off 15 games on the trot.

Agreed.

I think most of our side could benefit from being managed like the Cats do.
