List Mgmt. 2025 List Management 📃

[RPCB]

We are more likely to get 2 new recruits (non- draftees) in than the 6 or 7 or 8 players I’ve seen suggested in posts. That’s not a knock on anyone, just that the likelihood of 30% of the list being made up of new players is very low.

So we could arguably lose Harry and TDK for 2026. A first round compo for TDK but with 1.1-1-2 million spare for a free agent in the future. I’d be happy with an aging star in the meantime on a salary dump.

Then Harry would be worth two first rounders. Maybe both inside 10. This will also free up about 900k.

What could eventuate is Harry leaving allowing us to keep TDK with a small price increase. This gets us 2 firsts for a list refresh. And a front loaded contract for TDK.

Jagga plus 2 firsts in the side for 2026 with a loss of Harry which has proven pretty nominal in 2025.

If Sydney want a parade in our town they’ll have to pay.

What's fair and reasonable as a minimum agro, we can add tax to that

Gulden plus ?

 

[Red_man2008]

Think we could build a top shelf best 23 with some shrewd trading and drafting and taking a huge risk.

TDK - If he wants to leave. Then we match and 3 way trade with GC for Rowell (bring him home)

TDK > Rowell (GC) ($1m)
Butts (ADE) > 3rd round pick $400k
Ryan (WC) > 2nd round pick (Brisbane) $600k
Draper (ESS) > UFA $600k / Ladhams (SYD) 4th Rounder $400k / Reidy (FRE) 4th Rounder $250k
JUH (WB) (risky) > F3 $600k
Sinn (PTA) > DFA $250k / Williams (PTA) > UFA $250k
Rosas (GC) > DFA $250k


FB: Saad - Butts - Weitering
HB: Carroll - Silvagni - Sinn
C: Cerra - Cripps - Walsh
F: Draper - Rowell - Smith
HF: E.Hollands - McKay - White
FF: Curnow - JUH - Ryan
B: Newman - Lord - Hewett - Cowan
S: Kemp

Move on:
TDK - $1.2m
Docherty - $500k
McGovern - $500k
Haynes - $300k
Williams - $450k (pay whoever takes him $450k for 1 year)
Fantasia - $200k
Evan’s - $150k

Up for Trade:
Top 5 Pick or 2x Firsts
McKay (If he wants a fresh start)

Mid to Late First
O.Hollands - Don’t have a spot for him in my team.
Kemp - If Saints want him pay up

Second Rounder
Motlop
Moir

Third Rounder
Williams - Plus we pay half his salary
Fogarty
Durdin
Binns

I’m not throwing away half the list in one offseason and also giving away Ollie but keeping Elijah. That would be stupid.

 

[V23]

Doubt Sydney will be able to satisfy us in a trade for McKay if Warner ends up staying, as expected.

 

[Accidental genius]

Gulden plus ?

Think he was a blues fan/supporter…

Half way to signing him

 

[Red_man2008]

Gulden plus Papley. Done.

 

[jd2010]

Hindsight smashing us to bits pretty quickly but our summer moves really blowing up in our faces

Not letting the Kemp to Saints move happen
Jagga knee
Kennedy to Dogs
Signing Haynes

Can't blame Austin for the Jagga injury but the other three have really come back to bite us

 

[Red_man2008]

Our tall cupboard is starting to look pretty bare. Maybe McMahon was the smart play instead of 2 small forwards.

 

[TheBlueCampaigner]

Panning out as a very important trade period for us. Opportunity is knocking. Get it right, address some gaps and away we go. Get it wrong…

I expect Wright takes full ownership of the trade period whilst Lloyd is shown the door.

Haynes atleast allows us to move JSOS and McGovern up the ground.

 

[ESKIE]

Nice rumours thanks C4[2]Yo`DooR

 

[Arr0w]

If TDK wants to go to a contender and Conway is available, what else are the Cats willing to throw in

Big changes needed across the entire football department.

List balance is out. We need another few talls now.
Hopefully 2 mid season draft picks gets us a good head start.

 

[Opium]

I'd be happy to trade McKay and keep TDK.

Can't see us losing both.

 

[Arr0w]

McKay + 2nd for McLean or Amarty + McInerney + 1st

And shuffle of later picks

Future first and O’Sullivan

 

[SurreyBlue]

I can see us p1$$ing another rebuild up the wall. What a disgrace.

 

[Arr0w]

Future first and O’Sullivan

We have O'Farrell, so still need a other ruck, but I like your thinking

 

[RPCB]

Conway, contracted at Geelong but offered to other clubs.

Sounds like a recipe for disaster lol.

Might as well start high. Especially trying to deal with Mackie

He seems quite injury prone

Precisely, there has to be something. Geelong don’t make players available that they want to keep.
