New List Manager - Tim Lamb?

[No. 31 1,009]

I thought Chol was a good signing by Hawthorn at the time, whenever I saw him play for Richmond or GC I felt like he had something more to offer if he could get a good run of games.

Tim Lamb surely should have been sacked.  
 

He had better have a good trade period

 

He has brought in rejects Billings, Schache, Hunter, Fullarton and paid overs for McAdam

1. Don’t touch pick 5 

2. get 25 and 42 off crows for ANB 

3. no soft players any more !!!

There's really no need for that framing.

They weren’t wanted by their clubs. They were all happy to be shown the door.  Billings and Hunter were salary dump players who’d signed on for bigger $$$ then were playing 2nds footy.  We took them in !! Strangely McAdam seems to be one player we actually chased and offered a 3year deal and crows got our 2024 2nd round pick.  What a stinker of a deal.

As harsh as it sounds, I somewhat agree.

We have gone backwards with our list management since our Premiership in 2021.

Our list certainly isn't as strong as we expected it to be.

We crowed too early thinking about a "Demons Dynasty" unfortunately.

Tim Lamb is certainly under massive pressure now as Demons List Manager.

I would definitely be making a phone call to former Magpies List Manager Graham Wright to see if he is interested in a new challenge before the Tasmanian Devils team arrives in the AFL.

His challenge is attracting players to our club that fit within our salary cap.  The majority recently have been depth players bought in as security.  Whereas talent is really coming from he draft.

He can only get those that out of contract  or want to move.  The Houston news, shows they are active in targeting players during the year to keep improving the main list, i.e. the 23 we put on the park each week.  Any real we haven't been that active in since putting the team together up to 2021.  With the move towards Houston ew can see they need more players to refresh our list to challenge again.

We have been shocking in the trade space but when you hear how much money we have tied into Tracc and the like we are essentially offering peanuts to these players.

We can't offer the $$$ other clubs can atm.

So we have had our hands tied behind our back, no excuses this trade period though with all this money becoming available from BBB, Tommo, Shaq and ANB.
