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.

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

My 2 cents, at the time Cordy was listed as 8-10 weeks with his pectoral injury. He was eligible to go on the lti list.

View attachment 2448703

He'd have either needed to stay on the LTI list or be swapped out for another LTI - would've been Max - if he recovered after his injury.

I'm not saying it was a huge miss not having pick 5 in the MSD, but I do believe it was possible within the AFLs rules.

Except you have to be moved to the 'inactive list' which rules you out from any level for the remainder of the year. it is no longer the 'long term injury list' where you can swap players out for others.

Cordy came back and played at Sandy so was not a real candidate for the inactive list.

 

[#1_pigeonracer]

Any (other) small forward we are into better be a tackling machine.

Steele?

And if Gubby Allan is to be believed, there are a couple more left to come.

Oli Florent?

Sam McClure and Mitch Cleary saying on their pod the club didn't inform Marshall of the TDK acquisition and he found out through the media.

That doesn't sound right..

 

[westernsainter]

Caminiti and 2 x (future) FRP for N.Daicos. If we had a crack at Harley Reid, we definitely would've had a crack at Nick.

If I'm Collingwood I want at least double this.

Tweedledee and Tweedledumb have no ****ing clue, people were talking about this since last ****ing year ahahaha

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Nick Daicos fmd

 

[stavro#4]

I want I want I want

 

[bergholt]

If we can get Nick Daicos this year, then it'll be truly spectacular. Just don't think it'll happen given our splash so far.

Haha no-one's getting Daicos, Twomey just raised it to sound important and drive clicks from Pies fans

 

[stavro#4]

 

[nikkig98]

Caminiti and 2 x (future) FRP for N.Daicos. If we had a crack at Harley Reid, we definitely would've had a crack at Nick.

Lol Collingwood would ask for Nasiah. End of story, the only player that would get a trade done for Nick Daicos is him and he'd not going anywhere.

Daicos is gonna go to Tassie and eat up a huge chunk of that 5m signing bonus theyve been given

 

[Remboy]

I want I want I want

Straight swap for Wilkie?

 

[RWB4life]

I want I want I want

Imagine keeping Wilkie and getting him.

 

[Captain Paddy]

If Daicos leaves it’s only going to be to Tassie where he can get all those out of the salary cap payments

 

[westernsainter]

I'm happy to lose pick #7 for Flanders. As a nation of gamblers, we always tend to massively overrate what a draft pick might be worth rather than being realistic about what it actually is.

Some recent history on Pick 7 (or where it landed after FS/Academy bidding) sans last two years as it's too early to assess those players:

'22: Jhye Clark
'21: Josh Gibcus (unlikely we trade this year due to strength of draft)
'20: Archie Perkins

'13: James Aish

I think it's fair to say Flanders for #7 is 2-8 on these years, noting that we almost certainly wouldn't make the same trade with a draft class like 2018.

Come win a flag with best mate Silvagni then go collect your cheques Nick!

Twomey really pushing that Essendon landing spot today.

 

[stavro#4]

That daily gettable video makes it sound like it’s pick 7 with something coming back the way Cal said it

TRADE DESK: Rivals contact Nick Daicos, Blues' moves, wait and see on Saint

Cal Twomey and Riley Beveridge bring you the latest trade news

Bulldogs are so desperate for a KPD they'll probably trade him for Butts.

 

[Yawkey way]

If you are somebody of the calibre of Ro, you are not commuting from, say, Lorne (mid point) to Moorabbin 4-5 times a week. You don't need to. How far do you commute for work?

His commute is not our problem, we train at Moorabbin and play home games at marvel.

Where he chooses to base himself is his problem not the clubs, he’s contracted for two more years.

Enright can pick him up on the way. No need for them both to sit in traffic.

I hope it’s where he lands. They are going to have the best draft hand so the chance of something decent to come back our way is better than
