List Mgmt. 2025 List Management Discussion - Part IV

2025 List Management Discussion - Part 4

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.

2025 KEY DATES
Free Agency Period: Friday, October 3rd - Friday, October 10th
Trade Period: Monday, October 6th - Wednesday, October 15th
AFL Draft: Wednesday, November 19th - Thursday, November 20th

YARRRRR

 

[Dard Ball Get]

Fellas I'm starting to have concerns around Flanders. I just realised every bit of footage I've seen of him off field he's wearing a big ear ring like a pirate. What are we getting ourselves into here..?

Loves to plunder the booty the swashbuckling bastard

Bailey Humphrey would cause significant movement down south

Will it be a see you down at RSEA park situation?

 

[Parkysp]

I blame Cold Chisel for first coming up with the idea

I'm of an age where that was the first (of many) vinyl albums I bought. Swingshift holds a special place in my heart and Shipping Steel my favourite. Well played

I apologise for lumping the large ear ring trend into the weirdo/pirate category, it's clear to me now it's actually the elite sportsman/Michael Jordan version

We...you and I should turn this observation into a manesfestion...we are getting Bailey Humphreys next year....We are getting Bailey Humphreys next year....so now we apparently start talking about the best possie for Bailey in the team in 2027.... Alongside Nas obvs in the CS....this is manifesting our new reality.... The more you think about it happening, it has increased potential to become our reality.

Brother Pineapple Express just came on TV, I got nowhere to be tomorrow for work, this place is just my speed

I heard he is getting all the rest of our recruiting team to jump on board as well

I have been given the equivalent of PE

By a client, and some green H as well, green H on PE was amazing I over indulged obvs. however there was a moment in time where I knew I was in the sweet spot and was happy there however I can be a glutton and I was wondered if not being a glutton should be added to my skill set...was fun tho

Oliver probably means Steele to Giants is officially dead and buried - on top of Morris' report yesterday

West Coast our only chance now it seems

Melbourne

 

[Diehard Saint]

If the dee's pay 700k a year and he would take a paycut so we're paying 500kish i wouldn't be opposed. Wonder if the dee's be interested in steele potentially? Reunite with richo.

What did our captain do to deserve that?
I’d hate him to land up at a total basket case club if he left us.
He deserves more.

 

[Tasmanian saint]

Makes you wonder just how much Melbourne FC will be contributing to Grundy, Oliver, Petracca and May's contracts next year.

I wouldn’t think they would be contributing anything towards petracca he still has some decent currency

 

[Diehard Saint]

Welcome Jimmy Bartel

Jimmy has been one of the few media people who
1. Actually knows our list
2. Is pretty bullish on it.

Maybe because he does his homework ( hopefully) or because he’s friends with Enright and gets the inside goss.

I like him and maybe he’d be the right guy.
But what experience would you need to bring to the role? He’d be a newbie.

Edit: forgot he was at GWS for a while. What was his position there?

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Ollie Geale follows Bailey Humphrey

 

[RWB4life]

Ollie Geale follows Bailey Humphrey

But does Humphrey follow ollie

[Saintos The ITK]

we all had one in the 80s. Didn't we? Didn't we? Backs out slowly...

I can still squeeze goop out of my holes.
