Your ideal (or next best) list management result from here?

[Diocletian]

Thoughts on Lyons from the Suns?

He's perhaps a slight downgrade on Miles, but strong inside mid from what I've seen. Albeit this year he stunk it up.

Just saw that the Lions have offered 3 years to Lyons

Jack Leslie delisted too, a high pick, tall defender from Victoria. 198cm, I wonder if he can ruck?

Doesn't say much for Leslie if they still delisted him even after losing May.

[Diocletian]

I'd consider Broomehead but he's probably stuffed after that broken leg which was similar to Nathan Brown's and won't be able to play until halfway through next year anyway....plus Collingwood's pledged to rookie him, not that I'd care about stuffing them over......

I would do it If I was Richmond. Cyril would be great for us.

As a Free Agent he must accept any offer

He won't so this is a typical non story by young Sammy Mc

[Diocletian]

Has already met Balmey....

[big tone]

We don't have to worry about Langford, he's retired because he wants to be a one club player

Also, because he is contracted Dawks are going to put him on their rookie list for cap space reasons

Would considered Weller as a rookie if we don't retain Townsend

Only my opinion but Weller would be a backward step for the club. Especially after trading/giving away better players.
Townsend is twice the footballer Weller is, but isn’t one of Dimma’s favourites.

I agree on the assessment of recruiting Weller being a backward step. Surely we haven't let the players go that we have only to recruit someone else's rejects.

I'd have thought our priority now was drafting in young players or possibly a couple of players untried at AFL level (ala Kane Lambert or Liam Baker).

[Diocletian]

Mitch Grigg isn't untried at AFL level but he should our number one state league target (followed by Gibbons from Willywankers)


Freo just delisted Apeness...always liked the look of him - only real concern for me is his injury history....

Agree

Townsend is 3-4 times the player that Menadue & Moore are and we know what happened tbere

This off-season seems to be the definition of "one step forwards, two steps back".

One Step forward - we get Lynch as a free agent.
Two steps back - lose ruck and midfield depth (Griffith, Hampson, Chol, Conca, Miles, Lloyd, Ellis, Stengle)

Still it was only in the losing final that we were exposed for this lack of depth and that's never going to happen again.
After all we won a premiership only a year ago so our leaders are so much smarter than everyone else.

[Diocletian]

There's maybe one or two I'm sorry to see go but still gotta laugh at all this hysterical nonsense & carry-on about losing depth as if they were all great players that can't be easily replaced or upgraded on...if anything there's probably a couple more we should've traded out/delisted...

WTF, what depth did we need in the losing final? We had our best side in.

In regards to;

Two steps forward - we get Lynch as a free agent.
One step forward - lose crap players (Griffith, Hampson, Chol, Conca, Miles, Lloyd, Ellis, Stengle)

really?

think about it, particularly one dud who had already helped us lose final and it seemed he helped us again.

Looking at any one of these players in isolation might lead to you conclusion that its a step forwards but don't underestimate the value of players playing well in the two's and putting pressure on the 22 running out each week at AFL evel. Don't you think McIntosh,  Graham, Ellis etc felt the pressure if Lloyd and Miles getting leather posion each week.and The small forwards felling the same from Townsend, Bolton, Stengle etc. Not sure we haven't sold the farm getting Lynch,. Hope not but we will soon find out.
