List Mgmt. 2025 Trade/FA Thread (Cont’d)

Don’t forget the 2026 pick we’ll have to lure Butters

Why is that funny? It’s pretty much what every other club trying to get Butters (or any other a-grader available) will have.

Why is that funny? It’s pretty much what every one else trying to get him will have.

It's funny because Butters is going nowhere but the Dogs.

 

[No SPIN]

Re the bolded - Finn was killing it in the VFL? I must have slept through those games.

Go and check his stats for the last 3 VFL games.

 

[yeah man]

All roads lead to Buller

 

[tmpies01]

I'd prefer that our list management team utilises all the seconds available to them during this period to figure out ways to wheel and deal to make our list better, and not take direction on how to do their jobs from a Gettable co-host. He should go back to being a rude pig to members of the public that call in and melting about Liverpool FC.

 

[MooreDaicos]

So what's the news on Rowbum?
Are we after anyone else besides Simpleton?
Has Humphrey told GC he wants a trade to us yet? Times running out, he better hurry up.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Turns out it was Cal that said it, not Riley - so I change the bit about Liverpool to something about watching Avi Yemini clips.

 

[GCPie]

I think the Pies will only come away with Buller for the Brody pick.
I am happy with that.
If we had a fit JDG, Bobby and McStay this year I think the end result would have been better.
As those 3 are ready to go in 2026 + Reef in back line I think we are good to.
Buller is really a Cox replacement - but we also may resign Cox.
We are good - relax - and at the end of 2026 the Pies can go shopping.

Sullivan would be a delist today, had he not been given extended time to prove himself in the AFL.
People are writing off our kids even before they've had a chance to prove themselves is my point.
The 2 VFL games you're talking about didn't MAKE Sullivan - if that was the case Finn who was killing it in the VFL on his return from injury, would till be on the list.

Extended AFL exposure is the deciding factor - that's they only way the kids prove they are better than Sullivan.

Lucky Sully hit the jackpot

Small forwards kept getting injured
Then Bobby dramas
And no JDG
And Harvey went down early

For our sakes hopefully lucky sully doesn’t get that lucky again

 

[nickyds35]

He is likely going to Geelong, based on what someone close to the family told me, but it’s not just about Butters, it’s about any potential a grader that might become available.

 

[granniewolf]

West had a stress fracture in his foot, it wasn't PF.

Thanks for the correction.

 

[Apex36]

How many times do you need to be told that Long and Allan are the answer!

Tongue in cheek aside, I’d very much like to see Perryman put on ball next year. He did very well in opening round there this year but didn’t get a lot of opportunity after that.

Pretty much but the FOMO spreads out of control like a wildfire this time of year.

Because you’ve posted a variation of it about 150 out of your 170 posts in this thread! Even if Butters were to choose us (which he won’t, Dogs) that pick will mean nothing to Port. They’ll be McCreery and IQ or **** off.

Agreed wholeheartedly.

 

[BillyElliott]

Yet his family have also apparently told people he's definitely going to the Dogs

No it won’t. It will be 26, 27 and 28 first rounders.

Also, there is no real precedent for a club holding a FA, even if they match a bid.

Thee (late) first rounders will be more then enough (just as it was for Cameron)

 

[gouki88]

We get it mate.

That welcome thread trigger finger is getting itchy

I reckon you investigate what Port has in the pipeline through the draft

 

[Jen2310]

Is Simpkin really worth more than a 2nd rounder ? Roos trying to talk him up as their 'captain', etc sounds desperate especially when they can't even play him as a first choice mid.



Will Faulkner


I don't think so, Bo! A pick between 17-25 feels ballpark, but I could be wrong?

Do the pies get Buller and Simpkin or row bottom or is there something that no one knows and will suprise a few
I'd say a surprise is more likely at this stage Tark! Given how high North's asking price is for Simpkin and Rowbottom not wanting to leave Sydney

Thanks will Buller make the move
I think so! Collingwood's pick 59 shouuuuld be enough

Will the pies get Jack Buller and jy Simpkin

done for the trade deadline
Jack Buller I think should get done. Simpkin I'm not sure, think the Roos would be happy to keep him

Hi Ben, any reports of Collingwood players becoming agitated at the clubs constant engagement in trade periods since Fly came in? Feels like they/we have little development coming through?
Hey Nick, no reports there, but yes the Pies' strategy is to clearly top up with established players, which not only skews their list demographic, but means their earliest selections are often later. So in general, they're not bringing in the top possible talent more consistently.

Collingwood are not taking any pick unless it's single digit for de goey
I'm not sure De Goey is worth that high a pick anymore unfortunately! He's getting up there in age and his body is becoming less and less reliable.

JJ do ya reckon that Big Cox gets another contract from the mighty magpies!
I wouldn't have thought to Tahny! I'd personally be delisting him. The Jack Buller addition should be the writing on the wall.

Then from another journo

staying or finding a new home? Or nothing at all
I think there's a chance he signs a one-year deal to stay at the Pies/

If you had to guess, % of De Goey actually leaving the Pies?
20%. I can't see it realistically happening.

Shock De Goey deal floated as two clubs linked; Hawk on table for Merrett — Trade Wrap

So who's gonna be able to lure him?

 

[yeah man]

Who would want DeGoey in all honesty? He's been troubled with injury for a while until recently and isn't getting younger or faster. I'm not sure if whatever the club got out of trading him would even be worth it, depending on how he's valued externally.

This reeks of journos having very little to talk about at the pointy end of the trade period. I'm interested nontheless

 

[Jen2310]

Collingwood is tossing up calls on veteran duo Mason Cox and Tom Mitchell, as well as young midfielder Lachie Sullivan,

Suns' top picks on table, more than 40 players in limbo, Cats mid gets interest

Cox in the two’s as a break glass type, Mitchell done, give Sully a contract.
