List Mgmt. 2025 List Management Discussion - Part IV

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.

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

Tom Morris has a stkilda internal email re Dave Mission leaving

Ross Lyon acting as head of football

Trainee receptionist still hasn't got round to taking him off the staff email list.

 

[Spider Eater]

I would be shocked if someone with the reputation of Flanders would choose the Demons over the Saints.

 

[Diehard Saint]

We made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

Cue “the Saints are cheating the salary cap” whinging again.
“Where is all the money coming from?”

 

[DT_35]

Surely not dumb enough to pick Melb..

and I for one can't wait!

Yeah its all Brown Paper Bags and Dave Misson wants none of it so has stepped down. Doesn't want to be indicted in 5 years when they enquire about our 4 flags in a row.

 

[BucketsandBanger]

We are gonna look very silly if Flanders chooses Melbourne given how we have been leaking how confident we are. Surely not.

I still think he'd have rocks in his head to choose that joint, it's a dumpster fire, and they shouldn't be trying to sell a quick jump back up the ladder, not a chance.

 

[beside the seaside]

Imagine if the links between Italian meal and Mafia were made about Jews or Aboriginals there would be a massive "racism" outcry!
No I'm not Italian!

We're cancelling the Godfather films now?

 

[WRFL Indentity]

Re: Flanders, Petracca and St Kilda, I can see a world where our p7 goes to Melbourne and Flanders comes to us.

 

[Coconut_twirl]

Great to hear Windy getting involved in the chase for Flanders and seeing him invested in the clubs future.

Many see him as a future captain of the club and this is just the start of that.

It sounds like Flanders is still undecided? Should be a no brainer

 

[BrutThough]

I'm guessing he is being encouraged by GC to pick Melbourne because it would make getting Petrecca much easier.

Flanders was having a coffee with Max King this morning and last night had dinner with Jack Steele and a few others last night.

He is SO reading these pages for his news and ideas

Still think pick 7 gets used for Flanders which gets on trades to Dees for Petracca.

Jeez with the number of coffees he's having good luck getting a decent night's sleep!

Flanders also had coffee with the demons this morning.

Abort Abort!

The guy clearly has a major caffine drug addiction.

Lack of sleep might lead to bad decision making. Could end up at Dees.

 

[mighty_sainters]

If Flanders doesn’t choose us, we have pick 7 to play with.

Not the end of the world so we’ll need to suck it up and not get emotional about his decision which seems like it might be hard for some to do.

It’s a win/win/win.

Either we get Flanders, keep pick 7, or onto the next target like a Humphrey.

 

[Jade Buddha]

What exactly does a head of football do?

Meme incoming

Re: Flanders, Petracca and St Kilda, I can see a world where our p7 goes to Melbourne and Flanders comes to us.

This was discussed on radio yesterday. Reckon there’s a good chance this happens.

 

[snails13]

How do Gold Coast go with their Academy kids if it's pick 6 and Flanders to Melbourne.
Twomey has Uwland and Patterson in his top 5 players,plus they have others.
I sure they will go very early

 

[SaintersUnite]

Saints give: 7, Butler and Heath
Receive: Flanders and 16

Melbourne give: Petracca and 55
Receive: 7 and Heath

Suns give: Flanders and 16
Receive: Petracca, Butler and 55

Stephen King, not Max King.
