List Mgmt. 2025 List Management Discussion

i dont know how neither carlton nor fremantle were never linked to ah chee given he is a much more pressing need for them than he is for adelaide

 

[mpal6]

If he said he was interested in such an offer this year to our List Management team, they’d want to be bloody confident in turning him around over the next 12 months.

All hypotheticals. As mentioned, best case scenario is he signs this off season. But only they would be aware of his interests.

Even if we can't turn him around end of next year, retaining bailey for 2026 would be worth more than any additional pick we could get for future drafts. Premiership list is much hard to put together and Bailey is a big part of it for us.

I'd take an extra year for him even if he may not stay with us the year after. It could mean another finals, prelim, grand final, premiership even for us.

Let’s not play semantics…no one would reasonably read ‘full of Qlders’ as a literal reference to 100% home-state player list

Literally what he wrote, not list but team full.

I’d happily take another year of Bailey over picks. Any pick this year gets eaten up by Annable, and next year the compo pick will be band 1 if he goes.

Plus Essendon are zero chance given there issues, he’s far more likely to go to Adelaide. What’s their future first going to get us?

Stay all in on 2026.

Win football games > maximising draft pick return if he goes.

I wonder if Murray Davis hadn’t gone to Adelaide whether he would be being chased like he is by Adelaide.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we would have retained Cal.

There’s an under appreciated list strategy where you spend a few years at the top and then trade most of your list in their prime for picks so that you rebuild before your players are worthless.

It’s called Briztoonenomics

This is my strategy in football manager/madden games.

Ruthlessly cull anyone over 28 for max return and play da kids.

I’m also very bad at these games.

Ah Chee went home to Perth after the Quali loss with club approval He'll choose either WA or SA.

We've offered Bailey 1.2 to 1.3 and will offer Sexy Flanders from the Suns high 6 figures.

Starc either Eagles or a Melbourne based club.

Us and the Kangaroos have ample $ to spend but because we both suck can't attract the talent

Hope Drapes can get his body right the same way Joe did. He's a lovable weird bulleted unit

I think someone said Ah Chee going back to WA was for a death in the family. He is apparently going to Adelaide.

Not sure if you are aware, but if we win the premiership next year and receive band 1 compensation for Zac Bailey, that's pick 19, after our pick 18.

Plus Essendon are zero chance given there issues, he’s far more likely to go to Adelaide. What’s their future first going to get us?

Not advocating for trading Zac, just a point of clarification.

The bombers would be bottom of the likely list for Zac. If he leaves Adelaide is way more likely. Or a VIC team much closer to being anything.

Don’t do this Briztoon.

 

[Tom14]

Every time there is a report on another team being keen on one of your players, you HAVE to seriously contemplate trading them 18 months before they are out of contract!!!

 

[Tom14]

Don’t do this Briztoon.

I'm FURIOUS that we might miss out on a top pick this year that makes matching Annable easy AND another first round pick next year.

If we end up getting only pick 19 for Zac because we stuffed it up by WINNING THE FLAG I'LL SPEW UP.

To paraphrase Herm Edwards - You play to accumulate draft picks like pokemon cards. That's what sports is about. That's the great thing about sports.

I read it as someone taking the p!ss, after doing the same last week, and then doubling down on it last week. Tom's on my short ass hat list now.

I think Tom was just having a bit of fun. We’ve got to laugh at each other and ourselves to stay sane Briz!

That's cool. Have a bit of fun with your actual mates on here, you know how they'll take it.
