2024 List Management

[Ruck'n'Roll]

Part of me would like to see a key position player but we do seem fairly well stocked at both ends, although I think the quality of our depth is somewhat questionable.

I think part of the reason for the call for another key, is that we played Aaron Francis in 20 games since his arrival. If Sneall and/or Edwards ensures that never happens again, I'm sure that will bring a greater peavce of mind to many.

I thought Dattoli's highlights were pretty impressive. Looks more of a midfielder to me. Nothing like the build of Konstanty and can take a mark. Looks like he has a lot of footy nous. Every year people either think players are going to be stars in their first year or they are duds. I bet Richmond don't think all their first round picks will be stars or will get a game in their first year.

Yes, I got the impression that Dattoli largely thinks of himself as a midfielder, who's had to slum it for a while as a small forward. So it'll be interesting to see how that develops. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing him do the Papley mix of mainly forward, with the occasional centre bounce.

well that just happened

i mean they got Chad late and he is now a gun

maybe for these two boys ?

Chad's video for draft night looked pretty boring

Looking at a lot of footage of Dattoli, the ability to read play to identify leading lanes and timing, as well as his sticky hands, seems very impressive. Not just coming from the goal line, but coming back into or across the f50.

I hate myself using this comparison given everything else that comes with his game, but it’s a bit like Cody Weightman - who does that very well.

KPPs are dropping quickly, with Sims, Shanahan, Barrett and Whitlock gone already. Richmond might have overindulged, with three KPFs and a KPD. They do still have some on their list, don't they?

[dejavoodoo44]

And Nicholls just went.

[dejavoodoo44]

And now Mraz. That's 7 out of 8, so far.

[dejavoodoo44]

And then Gerreyn, Clark and O'Farrell.

And we've taken mature aged, outside runner Riley Bice. Looks to be a very good kick.

I thought we would match a bid on Cochran. Can't believe he's now a Pie.

[Thunder Shaker]

Cochran off to Collingwood. Ouch

Surprised we didn't match for Cochran - wonder what that is all about. Hope it isn't one over the longer term we regret.

Seems an odd decision. I certainly thought he was worth our pick in the fifties.

Josh Dunkley. Swans leading the competition losing prospects to bids not matched.

No doubt the Victorian clubs will still whine about the northern Academies even while benefiting from them.
