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

Could we have planned the following?

• Overpaid TDK so Carlton wouldn’t match
• Bring in SDK for Marshall
• In a years time, re-negotiate TDK’s contract to get his brother some of his money and even things up a bit

Nuffie thinking, and I’m sure the AFL or AFLPA would bar it happening

Possibly the worst thing I have ever read.

Love Gubbys tone about having plenty of cash

 

[True Believer]

Hahaha holy ****

The playing group out there are hard to please aren't they?!

First they complained that management were MAKING them take drugs....

Now they're complaining that management are trying to STOP them taking drugs!

For God's sake guys, make up your minds!!!

didn't Hind have connections to some under world figure along with Stringer. sounds like essendon is a flaming pile of shit right now

It is, most of the crims of Melbourne live in Essendon and Ascot Vale.

This might interest a few. Flanders broke the most possessions in a season ever for the Suns last year, beating G. Ablett Jnr!

At a shade below 79% DE also.

he hasnt got the speed of a small or medium defender to take those player. we will be incredibly slow down back.

He's got footy IQ. Don't reckon many small-medium forwards would volunteer to match up on him..

I honestly think Gresh still has something to offer at AFL level, but it's just purely as a forward. Reckon he might need an attitude adjustment as well though, was well and truly sick of him running passed teammates after a mark screaming and clapping his hands for the ball when it was a bad option, he knew it was a bad option, but just wanted to get the ball. Very frustrating player... But obviously has great goal sense and can find the ball around stoppages. Someone plonks him in a Higgins-like role, I can see him kicking 35-40 goals a year.

That amateur run club had fans telling us this was a shoe in if they helped Wilkie get paid

The wins don't stop for the Doggies!

Doogs was top 10 in the league for DE% in 2023.

Yes, he's also not a mid, which is the point of the screenshot.

Why so unserious.

He was hilarious in the press conference. Just did not give two ****s. Everyone there would have been pissing themselves, he was a breath of fresh air that's for sure.

 

[Tom12]

A deal will definitely get done

For what though? I'd be disappointed if it was for a single first and a swap.

 

[Barrels]

Hahaha holy ****

 

[Verdun]

Bit of niggle on here the last couple of days..



Reckon we should save it for any condescending Cat p...ks that make it on here.



We are having a crack enjoy it
