List Mgmt. 2025 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals

[LukeParkerno1]

With 5 on the bench we will play ladhams. McLean won’t be seen near the senior team.

Rather play neither and add some genuine speed/another mid, just having 5 doesn't mean we need another tall that has no position. This has been EXACTLY the issue for ages, it's too tall. McClean or Ladhams don't care who backs Grundy up in the VFL and obviously Green in the wings

 

[Slingshot Footy]

Brian Taylor and Triple M started the rumour

It’s a bit weird that a member of the family started it if it’s just a rumour though. BT is such a rogue character though so it’s very on brand.

 

[TasSixer]

I still think BT was probably talking about Lloyd, since that's his favourite player of ours clearly and he probably just guessed the BnF results

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Honestly, still a great trade period for us if we only got Serong and Rosas. Addressing 2/3 of our needs is a success. If we miss out on Curnow I would just hope that we up our offer to Buller.

How can you forget Finnlay!

Trade week hasnt started yet i highly doubt he would just make something up like that on the spot randomly.

He called Daniher retirement at HT before anybody knew.

Probably something there doesnt mean a trade will happen

Need a backup ruck. It shouldn't be Logan given his ankle issues, and not likely to be Amartey given his struggles to even play out a season as a forward.

 

[kickthething]

Petracca is who I want most

How is his relationship w Goodwin?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Need a backup ruck. It shouldn't be Logan given his ankle issues, and not likely to be Amartey given his struggles to even play out a season as a forward.

Amartey or Logan take your pick, we are only talking what is 6-12 minutes at the absolute most here. Surely you can ask them to stand there for a few minutes a quarter.

This does however mean rest Grundy on occasions, so the weaker games, you rest him

 

[Swansujelly]

Rosas is a bit meh, small forward is not a need, and he doesn't seem that good at it anyway

 

[bloodsbigot]

Petracca is who I want most

I'd sell 1/4 of the farm for him.

 

[Slingshot Footy]

Petracca is who I want most

I don’t think we can afford him. Our prime performers are already on their max contracts or about to negotiate their next ones.

You’d also be practically walking Chad out the door in two years because we wouldn’t come close to matching the market price.

If Chad had another dud season next year though I’d be happy to start looking around for a star mid and letting the former walk.

I think the best kid we could hope for in this trade period is someone like a Hustwaite.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Rosas is a bit meh, small forward is not a need, and he doesn't seem that good at it anyway

It sort of is actually game has moved to smalls/pressure forwards, and who have we got? Papley, yep though he's getting on and injuries have been a common factor the last couple of years, Dattoli I like but a second year player, Hanily I was big on but not sure he's ever going to be more than depth. Anyone I've missed?

For what will be a third rounder or 4th why not take the chance, he's better than Hanily more than likely

So just ignore their injuries. Got it.

 

[hairy biker]

Rosas is a 3-year deal

****ing hell.

We're bringing in a bloke who turned up out of condition in 2025 (a contract year) and who played his most games in a season back in 2023 (total of 11 games in '24 /'25) and his figures for that year are marginally better than Hanily's from this year.

Oh and here is a 3 year deal as well.

Having said that though rogue or not joke or not family should be filthy. I get the feeling when together on roaming Brian a couple of time’s Rowbottom looks at him like he is a dill. Not far off the mark I would say.

 

[melbournehammer]

if they play last touch out there will be a lost less need for rucks on the wings. let amartey ruck in the forward 50 and 5 minutes a quarter and the same with mclean.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

So just ignore their injuries. Got it.

Whoever is better equipped to do it, picking a tall lumbering whatever is not smart. Just rest Grundy when he needs it more

 

[Bloods86]

It's not last touch, it's last clear kick or handball. Still plenty of contests where ball spills over, is fumbled or gets spoiled out.

im aware it is short hand however.

play amartey in the forward 50 , grundy on the ball and rucks where it spilled over is fumbled or gets spoiled between f50 and the goals. play amartey in that position 5 minutes a quarter.

have speed around the ground. spread the play and get lots of numbers to the fall of the ball to pressure and force turnovers. dont have guys playing who cant pressure the ball and take 1.5 contested marks a game because we might need them for 5 minutes a quarter

Exactly, and just be more open to resting the guy lets say 3-4 rests in the year including the byes

And if Grundy goes down, he's got to ruck full time, which is a big risk for our most potent key forward.

Don't doubt Amartey can do the role, ability-wise.

Buller?Need to retain him first of cause.

The only danger with Amartey doing the role is he only has to look at a Sherrin and he gets hurt. Those spindly legs are a real worry. Never thought I would say it but he is an important commodity for us.
