    List Mgmt. 2026 Trade and List Management Thread

    I don't think he's horrible, but he isn't worth what clubs are supposedly offering. Ballard is a much better option if available.

    Bombers seek special assistance from AFL

    You'll get an end of first round priority pick after you or Richmond bid on Walker and Cochrane. That is better than other teams have been getting.

    Bombers seek special assistance from AFL

    In all the hoo-ha about Pendlebury last week, I don't recall any mention of him being selected with a pick that Collingwood tanked to get.

    Bombers seek special assistance from AFL

    Essendon are in this position because of the decisions of its administration, and it looks like they are about to make another crazy one. Imagine reappointing as coach the bloke who gutted the club by approving the injection of random stuff into its players' bodies. The biggest assistance the...

    Bombers seek special assistance from AFL

    Not really. The rules are as changeable as the assistance offered. The AFL have just changed the rules again. So now you get assistance without asking for it again - the extra end of first round pick for bottom teams. And they'll keep changing the rules to try and keep the most profitable teams...

    List Mgmt. 2026 Trade and List Management Thread

    We'll need to find a couple more to delist or trade out. We are two over already with Blamires and Griffen, and will look to at least bring in the three academy/fs kids, a first rounder and a player. For that to happen, the fewest players we need to cut or trade is 7. Eight or nine is more...

    Bombers seek special assistance from AFL

    They'll get an extra end of first round pick already, this is more than North and WC were getting. What they should be lobbying for is expanding rookie list sizes and allowing clubs to pay less than 95% of the cap on players and instead spend the difference on extra development coaches.

    List Mgmt. 2026 Trade and List Management Thread

    After reading through this thread, it's clear that we won't be able to compete with other clubs unless we trade Harry for some new gym equipment.

    Bombers seek special assistance from AFL

    The AFL have already changed the rules to give draft assistance to bottom five clubs. They get an extra end of first round pick if their pick is pushed back by a bid. If this had been in place since 2020 North would have received an extra five picks, which would have been more assistance than...

    Player Watch #30: Charlie Comben - signed til end '27

    Chom's 1 v 1 stuff has improved every year. He has gone utterly sh!thouse to quite good in about three years. Pretty impressive really, he must have put in a lot of work. He has always been a good intercept mark, but if kicking and decision making could improve like his defending has, we would...

    Player Watch #7: Zane Duursma - 15 goals so far in 2026 - Two year offer from North to Zane - Cal Twomey

    I think you are probably right, though I'm not sure why we would extend Blamires for more than a year at this stage. The only other two we would want to sign now are Hardeman and Dawson. Everyone else can wait until the end of the year.

    List Mgmt. Future Father Son prospects

    I think you are right, but the players would have to agree to it. They would be agreeing to spend 2027 in the VFL rather than on an AFL list. This may appeal to some who want to stay in Tassie, but probably not many.

    List Mgmt. Brady Rawlings | Head of Football Talent (Recruitment, LM & TPP)

    Riley may be a marginally better defender, but he struggles to get a kick. Roberts is miles ahead of Hardeman in workrate and output.
