List Mgmt. 2025 Trade/FA Thread

I have some great contacts at redneck park (Geelong), the comment I received was they are 95% sure they have him.

Yes same - Was told if its out of Cats / Dogs, he will pick Cats for lifestyle reasons.

Going to be disgusting watching Butters, Smith and Holmes run around for them for the next 8 years.

 

[BillyElliott]

Caro said he’s happy to take a pay cut to leave in general - hopefully not just specific to Geelong

Well we all know what Cats give their players to make up for a lesser salary.

But yeah, he sounds totally desperate to leave.

Sam Edmund tweeting that Curnow is "happy to take a pay cut" to get to Geelong, you can't make this shit up.

It’s such lazy journalism. He could offer to play for free for all the difference it makes because short of Holmes being involved Geelong quite literally have nothing to offer Carlton that would even remotely turn their head. At least GC and Sydney can actually keep the story alive because they have something to offer.

Not to mention having an academy player projected to be a top 5 pick.

They don't have big money tied into more than 4 players.

Pricks

 

[TakingThePies]

I'm surprised Craig Kelly was brutally honest today on SEN about the two free agents in Miochek and Elliott.

Pendlebury, Sidebottom and Howe are all playing for under 500k each next year. It's a mutal decision to set the club up by the leaders.

Elliott and Miochek are fishing for more cash. Good on them, but they won't get it.

And somehow Collingwood is the club people choose to resent

 

[nickyds35]

Lots of talk around Merrett, Petracca on the footy shows tonight.

Rightly or wrongly, cant help but think we will have a crack.

Don't think we can afford to go around again without a proper second-banana for Nick.

And lose Starcevich and Ah Chee. For me it’s adding Annable that’s the real sting in the tail. Potentially back to back premierships and top 5 picks is kinda ****ed.

Be interesting if they can keep the 3 of them on the park at the same time.

Good luck to them
Draper on that money is ridiculous
Allen is a shell of himself at the moment
Ridley is held together with sticky tape

Meh. It's a "there's a limit how far we'll go before it effects the team negatively" which is music to my ears. Whether that's aimed at Elliott, Checkers or even Silvagni, I don't mind.

How do the Blosers expect Curnow to be happy there next year if he's willing to take paycuts to get out of the club??

Do those 3 make them better?

 

[Dtennent94]

Do those 3 make them better?

Allen would, if fit.

Ridley is an upgrade on Starcevic, assuming he goes.

Draper neither here nor there, but not a bad replacement for Big O if he can reclaim his best.

I don't know if anyone read this AFL top 100 rich list (take it with a grain of salt). All the clubs with reported tight salary caps had the most players on the list such as GWS had 9 players, Pies 8, Melbourne 8, Carlton 7, Freo 7 and GCS 6. The teams with a so called war chest had the least players on it such as Brisbane 5, WB 5, Adelaide 4, Hawks 4 and Geelong 4. It reported Rowan Marshall

was the highest earning STK with 900k-$1m this year. It was reported that Treloar in the last year of his Collingwood subsidised contract earned approx. $1m

 

[BillyElliott]

Starcevich is a rock.

Agree. The only issue is his concussion issues. Sadly, I think he's probably only one more head knock away from forced retirement. He took a long time to come back from the last one.

 

[Dtennent94]

Starcevich is a rock.

He’s better than he gets credit for. He’s their Maynard.

But Ridley is a marking machine with a lethal boot. Not as good on the ground, though. I think he’s clearly a more valuable player if fit, but maybe Brisbane would miss what Starcevich offers.

He said the exact same thing earlier in the year on the same radio station about Maynard.

Trade Talk: Will Pies hold on to Maynard?

“Good luck mate, if that opportunity is there, even though we'd love you to be here.”

www.sen.com.au

“But if someone desperately wants him and wants to pay him a heap more for a longer period of time, everyone should be going, ‘Good luck mate, if that opportunity is there, even though we'd love you to be here, we want you to be here’.”

Makes you wonder if there is something in the planning?

Alternatively it's Kelly's 20+ years as a player manager speaking.
