List Mgmt. 2026 List Management

[FreoGirl]

Sydney got Curnow
Geelong got danger, Jezza and getting Toby Greene this year
Hawthorn got Barrass and Battle and likely get Merrett this year
Suns got trac and JUH (haha)
Crows got Ah Chee
Brissy got Draper, Allen and in years gone by have brought in Neale, Cameron and Dunkley

We got Jackson, Bolton and McVee and look how good that has been. It's important to keep topping up!

wish we could get Toby

 

[BigRang]

I might have mentioned this before, can't remember. We should have a red hot crack at Zerrett IMHO, I know, I know Victoria/Why would he cross the country/We can only get West Australians back etc etc but Wallsy will never know if Wallsy doesn't ask the question.... The bloke will be packing his Essendon bags about 5 minutes after the siren goes in round 24 anyway, and will be looking to go somewhere he can win a flag. Get Pearce, Treacy, Serong and Brayshaw to give him the "Immortal" hard sell, and then plonk him on a back flank and tell him to pretend to be Dayne Zorko

without the floggyness.
And we all get to sit back and watch the ball fly from the backline to the forward line at warp speed. Woohoo!

Hard to sell the “immortal” dream if we win one this year

 

[Lach72]

Need to be looking for people to come in and be best 23 straight away, preferably someone who can help our ball movement from half back…

Nick Martin anyone?

Not after 2 ACLs

 

[Purple Pills]

You'd take him if the price was right. Was a very good player when in top flight.

 

[Rockmelon]

Not after 2 ACLs

I’d still take him

I flagged this last offseason. We have to have a crack. Also, Sean Darcy is from the same home town. Only 3 years difference. Surely they know each other.

 

[Lach72]

Not interested…at all. And Essendon would want a first and they can **** all the way off

 

[Duz97]

Over the next 2-3 years players we’d need to replace
Cox Darcy Wagner Ryan Pearce omac jom switta

And saying that if riddle can replace Darcy then we need to find a riddle replacement kinda vibes

I’d go after hardeman to put pressure on Ryan and try fade him out over the next 2 years unless he can get his body right.

Trade Darcy find a mason cox

replacement a forward that can ruck someone like Peter wright/cooper thrembath maybe or that kind of build.

As good as adding more A graders to the list will be feel like we need to upgrade our bottom 6 to keep improving

OR

• keep Darcy
• keep Cox
• develop Riddle

Nah rather Darcy’s money off the books
Cox will be 37 in 2 years needs replacing
And if riddle develops and can replace cox/ Darcy you need to replace someone in riddles position

Cooper Thrembath is 193cm and has a better start to his career than Treacy or Voss did. Currently averages 1.8 goals a game and seems like a player at only 19. North aren't going to trade their best tall forward prospect since Larkey debut years ago and why would he come over to play as an undersized ruck?

Yeah I’m talking about that kind of player not them specifically.

 

[Taylor]

So who currently has value that we could afford to lose and why is it Luke Ryan?

 

[Deathly]

He doesn't have much value anymore, unless there's a club out there who don't know any better (check Collingwood & Mayne) who are going to throw something at him based on his name and not because they've been paying attention to their recent football.

 

[Purple Suit]

He still has value as a leader and we haven’t lost a game he has played in this year. 10/10 wouldn’t trade him.

If he demanded to leave for a big pay packet, teams who needed leadership in the back half would be lining up. North or Richmond probably standouts.

Luke Ryan is huge for the premiership push. He’s not going anywhere

 

[Stevooo3940]

Luke Ryan is huge for the premiership push. He’s not going anywhere

Agree. Win the flag this year, then ask if he'd like to finish his career back home before throwing him on the trade block and extracting overs from one of the struggling Vic clubs. Use the trade bounty to bring in someone else. Riley Hardeman anyone?

Im still flabbergasted at how we didn't get our hands on Jai Serong last year. Going really well at Sydney. Incredible that he chose not to play with his brother.

 

[BStaff17]

As if Ryan would leave Freo now unless we tapped him when his done the hard yards through the rebuild all the way back to 2017.

The Cup is within sight i think most players will need massive overs from clubs interstate to leave now when your B23.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Cox Darcy Wagner Ryan Pearce omac jom switta

jfc dude, half those guys are still in their 20s, and only MCox and JOM are over 30.

Chill.

 

[Taylor]

Cox, 35
O'Meara, 32
Pearce, about to be 31
Ryan, 30
McDonald, 30
Switkowski, about to be 30
Wagner, just gone 29

 

[theGav56]

Cox will be 37 in 2 years needs replacing
And if riddle develops and can replace cox/ Darcy you need to replace someone in riddles position

Darcy would be poor trade value with us paying aajor part of his salary for no real return. He certainly isn't going to be headhunted.

Add into the cost an additional stop gap ruck, which you offer zero plausible target for us, just speculative, unlikely names, who likely want best 23 game time.

The totality of the above is marginal in terms of salary off our books. Plus, Riddle appears to be developing quite fast.

After Cox is finished, take the games Darcy is available for, and give the rest to Riddle. Draft another gangly teenage unicorn/giraffe.

 

[Taylor]

Darcy would absolutely be headhunted. Do you think nobody is noticing Hawthorn's use of two immobile bull rucks to great success? Some clubs don't even have one big ruck and are playing guys well before they are physically ready.

Having two massive rucks leading your charge is going to be the way forward when Hawks v Freo is the grand final and Freo's rucks get on top.

Both Geelong and Bulldogs have had rough patches this year coincidentally coinciding with their rucks being injured. It's become one of the most important roles in the side.

The competition will come for him.
