List Mgmt. 2025 List Management Discussion - Part IV

[Hubnester]

2025 List Management Discussion - Part 4

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.

2025 KEY DATES
Free Agency Period: Friday, October 3rd - Friday, October 10th
Trade Period: Monday, October 6th - Wednesday, October 15th
AFL Draft: Wednesday, November 19th - Thursday, November 20th

A sign of how far we've come is that Petracca and Oliver are now both available and we clearly have zero interest in either, even the nuffiest Saints fans aren't that interested.

Just ponder that for a moment.

Melbourne are rooooooooooted from top to tail. They haven't even started their rebuild yet, and its going to a brutal one.

he's in for a brutal few years.

 

[ESPN8 The Ocho]

Flanders and Bartel, I’m in serious danger of getting carried away

The yacht rock is at 11.

 

[projectv]

First you get the role, then you get the money. Then you get the… nah it’s the money.

Pretty sure Essendon are offering him more? So it's probably more about the role.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Does the Oliver news mean that Flanders is going to the Dees?
I think so.

 

[Mat Mann]

Deeerrwaayyyneeeee is such a tool

Can somebody tell me what are those circles on tom de koning shoulders and back?

its from a procedure called cupping, they use suction to aid blood flow and deep tissue massage

They get Flanders now?

I think we'd be into Petracca but it's pretty clear from the outset he wasn't interested in coming to us.

 

[Moquo]

Compass is pointing north.

 

[projectv]

Butts to Dogs,
May to Pies

Don't think Butts is leaving Adelaide.

Really? I'd have thought there's a few red flags with Petracca but maybe he'll find a new lease of life outside the insipid Demon culture

 

[austinnn]

Don't think Butts is leaving Adelaide.

Think I saw Bevo outside the supermarket this morning asking exiting patrons if they had any spare defenders

The biggest red flag would have been the cost, but if somehow he'd nominated us I'm sure we'd have considered it. Given he's in discussions with Hawthorn, GC and Adelaide it's pretty clear he wants to go to a current finals contender.

Delisted their best KPD. Tried and failed to land 4 from other clubs.

Truly baffling list management.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Don't think Butts is leaving Adelaide.

Ah ok, surprised by that

 

[Moquo]

I blame Cold Chisel for first coming up with the idea

Just Conversations

 

[True Believer]

The AFL media are pure scum, bottom feeding campaigners *ing shit bastard * off you ****ing filthy campaigners

You know it's not good for you to keep all this stuff pent up inside. You should talk to someone and vent!

RUOK?

Mid?

 

[Longmembrey]

I'm a female reader and was trying to decode it.

Matching pair? - Bing?
Two puppies? - A couple of young WB players?

It's got me stumped.

Brayden Fiorini?

 

[Banger9798]

Mid?

Inside, outside mid

[Saint Watto]

He’s a funny ol’ fella

And fun loving too...!!!!

LOL.

 

[sauce_head]

Can somebody tell me what are those circles on tom de koning shoulders and back?

Suction cup therapy. Get it as the physio to encourage bloody flow. Leaves a massive bruise. Had it myself for dodgy shoulder / neck. Nothing to worry about. Now you have seen it you will see it all the time.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

I don’t understand it. The only response you’re likely to get is an agitated response which is the result of harassment. It’s so fkin lame for an adult to do that.

While unfair for Clarry, I’m glad to see these journo turds getting some feedback. So many roll out “facts” like they are concrete, later proven to have been made up, then the next day they are back pulling the same stunt with the same serious faces.

 

[projectv]

Oh god it's JUH isn't it.

 

[Hayes4PM]

There's gonna be a TDK post tomorrow I suspect. Any other 3 letter acronym names we can fill in for social media content???

SDK?? Bring back Trent Dennis Lane?????
