List Mgmt. 2025 Draft/Trade/FA Thread – everything must go!

[The Dr]

There is no-way they spend a top 15 pick on JUH, the way things are.

Who is suggesting they’ll use a top 15 pick on him? Dogs would give him up for nothing.

 

[Crusty Demon]

lol is Josh Jenkins trying to position himself as the dumb Kane Cornes with this word salad?

I cant even bring myself to listen to anything JJ is on. Because we have far too many sports shows on radio and tv now, nonces like him get airtime.

Yeah JUH wont cost anything but a 4th rounder at most. Massive risk bringing him into your club.

Suns fans on main board think 6+7 for Trac and 23 is a fair deal (if they get 7 for Flanders)

Get Danster to sign off on it and send the trade in to AFL house now.

I've got an extension to that, while we are pretending...
Oliver to the Bummers for P.5 + they're P.26... And we will meet Oli's total player payments for 2026 & 2027.?
.............

Then we on-trade Tracca to the Suns + Picks 23 & 26 for this year... for 2025 ND Picks 6+7... back to us.

 

[Scythe]

This is the most harmonious, united Melbourne board I've seen in about four years, to be fair.

 

[SugarHealey]

**** yes, finally the end of the 3 amigos

a 3 Magoo's did you say.?
..............

or is that Lamb chops.?

 

[Bluelegs]

"Can you imagine the Melbourne board without Oliver?"

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Why do the media even care about chasing Oliver round? He's shit now , save your petrol

 

[SugarHealey]

lol @ King running with Oliver as best 23 in his interview only to turf him first opportunity he got

He's just pre-paring Oli for this seasons trade period, and also next seasons. Oli's choice.

Also next Yr imv... Fritta will be served notice...
Also along with Lever, in 2026 D&TP
................

Our list come the 2027 season, will be without Melk, Campbell, May, TMc, Mcadam, Salem, Billings, Tracca, Lever, mHore, Fritsch, Oli, Fullerton, Henderson, esC@rgo... et al.

att: the dreamweavers.

Could be Oliver camp leaking

 

[SugarHealey]

First time in 5-6 years I have been happy with our trade strategy.

Guess this means it was Goody ****ing it all along and not Lamb.

Apologies for 6 years of me being incorrect.

rather the whole footy department... CEO and el presidente`, plus footy dept head, and then the list manager, who takes instructions on that departments method of moving forward..

Imv, they were all looking out for they're futures, trying for sustained success.
But missing the bigger picture totally.
The way the game was moving.

 

[Lord Nev]

This is the most harmonious, united Melbourne board I've seen in about four years, to be fair.

Was more about being in meetings all day and then logging in to the anonymous text-based forum known as BigFooty to see what was happening..

 

[SugarHealey]

Wonder if we got inquiries for Oliver to trigger this

I would take our pick back from the Bummers, for a clean trade for Oli, plus we pay half his payments.

OR we straight trade Oli for Merrett... and we'll help them with Oli's salary.

 

[SugarHealey]

Maybe turfing Clarry is part of Kings pitch to get Trac to stay

I would be trading Oli out, before Tracca.

As manny has said, we cannot carry so many one dimensional in & unders.

 

[TheBoss]

Does anybody find it strange that King was midfield coach at the Cats who had Claz down there 'touring the facilities' less than a year ago, and now that he's got him in his midfield, he's telling him to pack his bags, or play VFL?

Ok, a year's a long time in footy, but I take anything that Sams Edmund or McClure say with a very large dose of salt. That Cleary and Morris are chiming in with similar 'mail' doesn't help sell me much further either.

He met with the assistants yesterday and could just be doing this based on their feedback.

 

[SugarHealey]

Yeah 21 was great for what it was but it didn’t take too long for a stubborn arse coach and flaky, cliquey and selfish playing group to take us back to where we truly belong.

 

[Proper Gander]

"Can you imagine the Melbourne board without Oliver?"

He will never fully leave this board, even if traded to Mars

 

[SugarHealey]

I have a feeling other clubs have inquired on Oliver or there is more going on behind closed scenes.

Strange it would come up now opposed to exit interviews. I suspect questions have been asked and reasonable demand has surfaced and we are discussing those options with Clayton to test appetite.

The timing is perfecto... the day before official trading period starts.

 

[schmuttt]

Apparently Pies interest in May has cooled. If we are this keen to get rid of blokes I wonder if they'll just pay him out?

Starts on Monday Sugar!

 

[Proper Gander]

They may well. Though if they want to be ruthless they can hold him and have him play at Casey.

Wayne Derksen will enjoy the company

Last I heard was Oliver to GWS - hope so. I reckon they might bond
