If a club is undertaking aggressive list management there will be errors. NO club is error free. Richmond - Chris Yarran, Geelong - Mitch Clark.

Neither do I Rif. If there is a perfect recruiting department I have yet to see it. I think some are getting little tough on our ability in this area over the last few years.

This year, without any high draft picks and not much to trade will be a really big test for our recruiters. We need pace, polish and goals

No active role means we’ll be able to replace him in the supplemental period (assuming that rule stays in place). 
 

A 3 year deal who was completely unwanted by his previous club seems a mistake. But we have to assume other teams had 2 year deals on the table.

The shame is he’s was the type of player we needed and at the end of 2018 we were in a strong position to recruit players. 
 

Anyway, hope he can get healthy 

Is there any evidence we had to take him on a 3 year deal to enable the May deal to happen?

I think part of that is going to come from trades.

How would that work? He was uncontracted, GC didnt offer him one, they weren't trying to offload a contract, and he wasn't a FA so no compo.

Tomlinson was a mistake, he came to fill the wing role and he was unable to do that. As a result we are looking for a new wingman this year. Mahoney has more of a role than trading than drafting so please don't give him credit for drafting 

Do you have any actual knowledge of Mahoney's role in trading vs drafting?

If not, your comment is classic. Your anti-Mahoney bias means he doesn't get your credit when he deserves it but will be the scapegoat for our mistakes, as that suits your argument.

considering he was stakeknives and cost nothing and probably was on a low wage it was well worth the risk, was a needed position and he was a really promising youngster early, unfortunate it didnt work out but it was totally out of our control and im happy we tried

I hope he’s able to get healthy, wonder if we may look at bringing him into the coaching department for the women’s team as a football role (as perhaps a way of learning a skill for the future). 

Bit annoying he still stays on the list, means we can only really replace him with a rookie draftee I believe.

can be replaced through SPP so any player who has nominated for a draft and not been selected or recently been delisted

we've had a mixed back through this process: Lockhart - jury still out, MBrown - worked, Bennell - bust but worth the crack

so a query....does KK still stay on our list?  Under what circumstances does he move off the list?

so he's on the list but becomes 'inactive' like the old long-term injury list which used to mean you could upgrade Cat. A rookies to play senior games but they scratched that idea and made rookies available to be picked form round 1, however category b rookies still require a list spot to be upgraded to play seniors. however if a player is inactive usually due to early retirement, long-term concussion, acl or mental health then u can pick a replacement player who gets a contract for the remainder of the season to plug the whole. im not too sure what the rules are when it comes to that inactive player becoming available again but quite possibly the newest installment of rules is theyre out for the season...
