List Mgmt. 2025 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals

[hairy biker]

Do we know whether it's on the senior list?

It would have to be if he's signing the contract now.

You can't sign players straight on to the rookie list at this point of time.

 

[Tedeski]

Ramps is a strange re-sign, not sure what the club is thinking. I love the man but I feel we need better alternatives down back.

Worst yet though is it seems we have no immediate valid replacement or were not able to obtain one.

I think this pre season Cox will do match simulation with McCartin as a backman.
You know, so he can be a real backman & not a forward playing back because his pre season was as a forward.
What a brilliant master stroke that will be.

 

[Ehswan]

Yeah this was the player I was told to keep quiet about

Has been in the media, but in no way linked to the Swans, both the club and his management wanted to keep it quiet.

His not our main priority, more of an option if Curnow falls down (which links back to us being confident on landing him).

Should just get both then

 

[TasSixer]

I would've been disappointed in the club if they let Rampe go without a farewell game. They would have known during the season if they were gonna hold him

 

[Kiama Chris]

Not at all keen on either Curnow or JUH but would be delighted to welcome Trac. Would make a significant difference to our midfield. Add Mills and it's a whole different thing.

 

[Nuggetz]

I hope Rampe re-signing means he's fine with playing VFL & not have a guarantee to be an automatic selection for best 23. This season we need to figure out if players like Snell & Edwards are long term prospects for us at AFL level. Rampe should be an in case of emergency selection.

the other day, he told me 2 of his mates (wouldn’t say who) are heading to the Swans. He could be talking sh*t, nice bloke though.
Goodwin & Trac or Lever hopefully, or maybe from another club.

Same here but I can see the need for another KPF since Amartey has been injury prone & McDonald is returning from a long lay off. Buller is also leaving & Mclean had a poor year too. If we don't get Curnow then I hope we get someone serviceable. Ideally Buller stays but pies ffs.

 

[Nuggetz]

For these stars like Trac, surely the sell is not only for the player but partner/family too. I understand going to GC over us but Adelaide? ffs.

I mean Adelaide is a big step up from having to live in Melbourne. Cheaper too.

 

[Jeffers]

I still have the fainting hope that we can turn Buller around and stay with us. With the 5 on the bench rule, he would be the perfect second ruck/forward and displace the Titanic Mclean from the seniors once and for all.

Alas it will be in vain and we'll see him thrive at the Pies, while we still have 2 years for Mclean to come good.

Say the exact same thing we said to Grundy. And instead of farms, we should stock up on other things. Shares in Haywards drink company or something.

Mclean & picks for Trac with Buller re-signing with us?

I dunno about big step up & I don't think money is an issue for trac.

 

[bloodsbigot]

Could definitely buy bigger houses in Adelaide.

 

[Nuggetz]

We should offer Trac the suburb of Leichardt, he can rename it to Trachardt & revitalise it with all his restaurant/food ambition. He'll be the no.1 Italian in Sydney.

Heard Robe is a nice area

Fret not dear Ticky, we are about to unleash

 

[Punts]

The word desperate now for Curnow to get to the cats lol

Tell your people to tell the swans people to have a 1 Trac mind !

Only 3.5hr drive to the suburb of Robe

The backlash against northern academies following the GF win is predictable but what I don't get is how destination clubs never face any restrictions. Geelong can load up on Bailey (& Isaac) Smith, Cameron, Dangerfield, the Pies with Bobby Hill, Tom Mitchell, Perryman, Houston while Kangaroos and North Melbourne struggle to attract anyone.

If a club makes top four three times in a row maybe they should be banned from trading in listed players for a year or two? This isn't a specific proposal so much as saying if I were a small club I'd be trying to put the clamps on destination clubs rather than taking aim at academies which at least grow the player pool. We talk about equalisation but one of the big inequalities is being able to attract top talent.

Maybe it’s as simple as the top talent don’t want to go there

 

[Cadsky]

Watch us miss out on both curnow who will go to cats for a fart in a sealed jar because that's all they've got and Trac because we were too busy watching the cats fart in a sealed jar.

I'd be so pissed if Finbar is the best player we get

 

[Bloods86]

Or we may not be a serious consideration for either of them.
