Biggest problem we have is we don't turn the list over quick enough. Now we have 10-12 players clogging the list. We could delist them all if we wanted because you'd think Judd, Scotland, Waite and maybe Carrazzo will retire end of next year.
Joseph, Ellard, Davies- on list 2 years too long. Wishful thinking they would make it.
Duigan- i know he had 1 good year but why recruit players in there mid 20's? Same as Rowe, waste of a pick. Max you will get out of them is 5 years and they are unproven at AFL level.
White- spare parts player, delist now and don't waste anymore time on him. Knowing Carlton, because he hurt his neck we will feel sorry for him and sign him for another year.
Laidler- if you can't trade him then you may aswell delist him then play him in the reserves.
Mitchell, McCarthy- haven't shown enough, move them on and try someone else. Watch us sign them for another year and they will either be injured or playing in the reserves next year.
Collins (rookie)- not AFL standard, should have traded Grigg for a pick.
O'Keeffe (rookie)- prime example of holding on to players for too long.
Dale (rookie)- hasn't shown enough in the reserves, move on.
TRADE
Hampson or Warnock- no use having 3 ruckmen when you only play 1.
Yarran, Lucas, Garlett, Bell- trade if you can get something half decent. If not keep them. All 4 are inconsistent. We need players who can perform every week.
spot on
we overrated our list and held on to players for too long
it's so important to trade players when they have value. For example, I would have got rid of Betts and Waite years ago when they had value
list management is not simply about cutting your list, you need to ensure you are plugging gaps to build to a premiership list and you can do this through trading. Hawthorn does this well.
you need balance on your list with an emphasis on midfielders
still don't understand why Gibbs and Kreuzer are untouchable. They have some value, particularly Kreuzer.
