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.

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

You know they're desperate for news when they don't even stop to proof read the header before posting.

I wish that were true. Unfortunately the quality control and sub editing is poor at all times

[MordySaint]

We are absolutely on fire.

 

[Yawkey way]

Not sure why JDG was brought up this arvo. Tony the messiah said it was no chance we were interested. That’s enough for me.

Where is Tony 74

Late gossip please.

 

[Anythings_sipposible]

Regardless of what happens tonight, the Zach Merrett thread is going to be an absolute cracker. Prepare for the biggest shit fight in a long time!

 

[Joffaboy]

A quick sighting of Nathan Freeman just at the end of that clip.
Enter the Sandman, how apt.

That's the thing, it could have worked if they were willing to part with serious players they could afford to lose and still contend.

Sam Power is a complete f**king flog and they are going to miss their window without a serious back line for the super serious club.

Unwilling to make hard decisions and they'll pay the consequences.

( Also don't blame them at all for not looking at May not even a 1/3 of the player he was and the bloke is a f**king cancer that people put up with while they were winning )

Look I sort of agree but also if we had what they had I’d be willing to take a punt on a May (or Oliver etc) even at 70% he moves O’Donnel and Lobb to 2 and 3. I reckon it’s worth a look, they’ve done nothing in the trade period in spite of everyone thinking they’re a key defender away.

That's different. There'd be no ability to drag things out...

A longer period is fine (and good for clubs) as long as it is muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch longer. I have proposed from Grand Final night until early February.

Let's see them try to maintain trade radio for months. They won't, and it'll die.

Either option is a massive improvement. Genuinely **** all happened since Wednesday.

1 week. Monday to Friday.

Like we all grew up with.

Makes sense. You could make it 3 days and I don’t reckon you’d have any less deals tbh

Gubbbyyyyy is in the building

"So, Gubby, how does the Marshall deal get done at this late hour?"

 

[dudeintheswamp]

When they show the footage of Mackie walking in hope they play the Benny Hill music

 

[Joffaboy]

Hope they put cuck chairs in the Bulldogs and Cats rooms

 

[nikkig98]

Hawthorn ITK saying that Merrett deal is agreed on principle

 

[Broski]

I really hope Gubby entered the building with Stone Cold's theme music playing.

 

[SainterinSydney]

Mackie when he looks to enter the St Kilda room and Gubby looks to meet him

 

[gubby88]

Hawthorn ITK saying that Merrett deal is agreed on principle

If that’s true then Welsh’s Presidency is stillborn.

Fancy capitulating on an issue of fundamental principle.

The contemptuous raiding of your Captain and best player by the club who is your sworn enemy, while he is contracted for another 2 years.

The mighty Bombers have fallen off a cliff.

 

[triggering bro]

Gobby zero interest in trades he’s here for the free canapés

Lol.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

We just showing up because we have to?

 

[Diehard Saint]

Righto…. Gubby has set the standard for next season.

Put all our games to bed in the early stages so we can sit back and relax for the next three quarters.

I like it.

 

[Joffaboy]

Geelong board in between full melt and cope mode currently.
Apparently Mackie is going to bend us over, Marshall is not that good, wont move the needle and win them a flag, never give up first rounders for a ruck etc etc etc.
Really its a bit sad.

[PLAYERCARD]Rowan Marshall[/PLAYERCARD] hoping a deal gets done.
