2025 List Management Discussion - Part 5

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

[_Maximus_12]

Anyone going mention the fact that Tony had a flawless 2025.

 

[malevu]

Don't forget as part of the overall process we had to work hard to retain Nas, Windy and Wilkie. Any of them could've been lost.

 

[Teflon]

We still have a Premiership Ruckman that came from St Kilda

He’s all
Yours buddy

 

[SaintJunior]

Did Barrett say “Marshall will have to go back to a club he doesn’t want to be”.
What a salty f*ckwit

Never seen someone barrack for a trade harder than Damo.

Either that or the prick gets paid based upon how many times he mentions Geelong .

 

[Moquo]

I really hope we strung them along implying that we'd accept the deal then whisked it away at the last minute - "Geelong just get deals done" hey?

Yeah, it's a pisstake... Roma was in on it. Never leaving!

 

[hangdog]

David King on fox just spoke about our injuries this year, 3rd worst this year with a 134 games

We need King and Pou to play 20 plus games

Agree we can jump and surprise a few next year

I was shocked to see the teams that lost the LEAST games;

1. North Melbourne
2. Melbourne
3. Adelaide

Bit if an indictment on those first two teams and shows how underwhelming Adelaide's season was considering they also had a soft draw

 

[Joffaboy]

Well he did say neither Steele nor Roma were going anywhere ….

but he’ll certainly still get our
2025 ITK Award with Geezington a meritorious runner up with his sterling work on Flanders and the GC

To be fair, I was PM'ed this morning at nine o'clock telling me that Gubby had told an acquaintance of the poster at RSEA this morning that both Steele and Marshall were staying.

 

[SaintersUnite]

Can someone give me a welfare check on Mitch Cleary? Poor bugger must be devastated

 

[OPsaints]

 

[OxSaint]

What was the Cats final offer for Marshall?

 

[Teflon]

Is Ah Chee uncontracted?

Gee….thatd be a gun move…

A good effort. Remember there will be 5 on the bench. Hammer will be in the team, I'd imagine. I think also Trav and Hill. Will be tough for spots next year!

I was actually thinking about where Wood will be future wise. Does survive in the best 23?

 

[hangdog]

What was the Cats final offer for Marshall?

Pick 19 and a F2.

We're flying so high after trade period, that we've decided to do 2026 with one less player than anyone else. **** it, we ball

 

[Joffaboy]

Anyone going mention the fact that Tony had a flawless 2025.

He got Steele wrong. What a fraud

Missing one

 

[seesalswigs44]

Wonder if we have an appetite to get back into this years draft. Few clubs who’ll be wanting to turn picks this year into next

 

[Bob Butter]

What was the Cats final offer for Marshall?

This years 1st and future 2nd

 

[malevu]

From our perspective the best part of keeping Marshall is it allows Dodson and Keeler to develop at their own pace without being thrown into the deep end before they are ready. I think once we let Moose go the writing was on the wall that we were keeping Marshall.

 

[Mowman]

What was the Cats final offer for Marshall?

pick 19 this year future 2nd

 

[Tommy Wigs]

So what do we think - pick 50 comes in give or take 12 spots? There will be more pick manoeuvres ahead. It’s not beyond the realms that Fincher isn’t bid prior to that pick.

 

[NAS THE GOAT]

Ok who made the troll account “Riewoldtsmarkk” and is going ham on the cats board

Account made TODAY!!

 

[OPsaints]

Missing one

Yeah. Add Hill as the 5th bench warmer

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Wonder if we have an appetite to get back into this years draft. Few clubs who’ll be wanting to turn picks this year into next

Hope we don’t trade out of our F1.

 

[triggering bro]

pick 19 this year future 2nd

So pick 25 and 40 both speculative picks that would have a very low success rate.
