2025 List Management Discussion - Part 3

Now that our season is over, and news is starting to break - it's time for a fresh thread.

This thread is to discuss all things list management - trades, draft, free agency, delistings and more.
As we are now officially in our off-season, we'll be wanting to keep this thread more strictly on-topic than the previous iterations.
Be respectful. You are allowed to disagree with someone - but play the ball, not the man. Repeat offenders will have their posting rights revoked.

Thanks to Lore once again for this incredibly useful spreadsheet.

Free Agency Period: Friday, October 3rd - Friday, October 10th
Trade Period: Monday, October 6th - Wednesday, October 15th

Marcus Windhager

Entirely in st kildas hand. It’s entirely about money.

Both Beveridge and Twomey saying most likely option is he stays.

Marcus would want to work his arse off and become a lock as a starting midfielder for us or one of the best wingman in the game if he's demanding money from us that he hasn't earned yet.

 

[ScrappyDo]

It's not somebody who has ever previously fabricated a story to claim some inside info.

So you admit you're not trying hard enough?

 

[phantom13]

Bed wetters gonna wet bed.

It's not this it will be the next thing in line. Ross, SOS, TDK, NAS, Windy, Wilkie taking bets on what's next.

I havent seen anyone thinking the Wilkie thing is real, its just getting discussed as its in the media.

Gettable saying Collingwood is into Caminiti... Legit seems like these campaigners are just throwing darts at AFL lists.

 

[Remboy]

Pies have nothing to offer us

They could give us their draw. That would be a good start. Add in the 2010 flag and I’d do it.

 

[Spider Eater]

Elliott to GC
Caminiti to Collingwood
Flanders to St Kilda

 

[SaintOfLondon]

Wasn't all the reports from the media about how loyal Windy is to the saints and he just needed a fair offer? If his decision is purely based on money I'm not sure where all the loyalty talk came from.

 

[Saintbloke]

Marcus would want to work his arse off and become a lock as a starting midfielder for us or one of the best wingman in the game if he's demanding money from us that he hasn't earned yet.

I reckon Boxshall will keep stepping up and will establish himself in the midfield, so Windy will need to build on what he has, as I think there is more in the tank yet.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Elliott to GC
Caminiti to Collingwood
Flanders to St Kilda

Gee prob take that, and I like the hammer

 

[Linton Street Saint]

[nikkig98]

If rumours on the Hawks board are to be believed, they're confident on getting an A grade midfielder in Trac or Merrett. Both will come at a high price. Im not sure about their pick situation, but does anyone with knowledge regarding that think this means Cam Mckenzie could be on the trade table in return for a high pick?

 

[SaintlyHymns]

This Merrett to Hawthorn chat would suit us favourably if McKenzie is at all a possibility?

Hawks would need two top 10s to get it done?

 

[Armoooo]

So you admit you're not trying hard enough?

The nuffies on here can believe what they want.

People who have been on here long enough know that I've never made any big claims before. We have all seen little Tony50/50s darts record before.

I think it's clear how seriously we should take Tony's word.

 

[Joffaboy]

Would take 33 for Hammer if offered, nothing else.

Contracted, premium, a top 20 pick.

 

[phantom13]

If i had to listen to it, you jerks have to read it secondhand.

 

[ScrappyDo]

Elliott to GC
Caminiti to Collingwood
Flanders to St Kilda

Gee prob take that, and I like the hammer

I like him too. But that's a sell.

 

[ScrappyDo]

Would take 33 for Hammer if offered, nothing else.

Would be 43 by the time the pick went live. No chance.

 

[_Maximus_12]

I cannot stress enough, that this information is coming from the bedroom of a key participant in these events.

I've been on here for 15 years, you need to ask yourself if I'd throw that reputation away if I didn't have concrete info.

Sounds like either Cal is lying to me, or his missus is lying to you..

 

[ESDR]

Phil Davis on Saints list build SEN 10/9

Eminently sensible. As always.

 

[70s sainter]

Would be 43 by the time the pick went live. No chance.

Agree . A pick at 43 may never play a game. Hes been developed over the last 2 years and should improve as hes only 22yo?

 

[jwikked]

Elliott to GC
Caminiti to Collingwood
Flanders to St Kilda

I’d do that instantly

 

[_Maximus_12]

As a side note, I'm a little annoyed at the number of contracted players using other clubs to renegotiate mid-term because their managers were too incompetent to read the market in advance.

 

[jwikked]

Sounds like either Cal is lying to me, or his missus is lying to you..

it doesn’t have to be a lie, things can change quickly. I’ve said some things while venting that I don’t mean literally, would hate to have my friends leak my stuff to the media

Chinese whispers is the more realistic option. One man’s vent is another girls reality

 

[stavro#4]

*^^^

Source is good. Exchanged plenty of stuff around Nas and he was

 

[gringo2011]

What a wasted talent Billings was. Hard to tell if it was natural progression of others that left him behind, or gifting of games when he and others probably didn’t deserve it, which naturally made them think they had made it before learning what the actual hard work was.

Real lost era for the club

He's too good to not be on a list. Someone like Collingwood might be able to revive him as depth and then who knows.

Is Acres the last man standing from that era? He may not have been the GOAT in the end but perhaps the GOTE Greatest Of That Era.

 

[chris_h_11]

We're bonkers if we consider trading a 21 y.o key position player who can play at both ends of the ground.

There's question marks all over our KPP stocks in terms of getting on the park, so even if we think he's not in our best 23, he's gonna play plenty of AFL footy next year and beyond.
