List Mgmt. 2025 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals

[Voice of the G]

I get the feeling this is going to be an underwhelming trade period for us again. No free agents linked to us and so far only Charlie Curnow is linked to us and I suspect he’ll be going to Geelong because no one can compete with them. We like to talk our trading period up before it starts but do nothing apart from the 2023 season

Curnow will go to Gold Coast.

Curnow will go to Gold Coast.

Another fumble by us

Curnow will go to Gold Coast.

Probably should look into Jed Walter

 

[DAZZA_75]

Probably should look into Jed Walter

Won’t happen, Walter will go to Carlton as part of the trade if they want Curnow

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Probably should look into Jed Walter

Would be just as expensive as Curnow don’t pretend otherwise pick 2 and hasn’t reduced his value

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Windhager most likely going to the Demons. Another player we’ve missed because we like twiddling our thumbs during the free agency period

He wanted to stay in Melbourne, do tell what we should have done? Private jets every morning?

Dont be ****ing angry at me

 

[TheGoatBaron]

I’m sick of this thread also.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I just don't know what else we could have done, yeah he'd be good but would cost the farm (compared to what he should) and he wanted to stay in Melbourne. I'd be focusing more on Davies, etc anyway

 

[Cadsky]

Sounds like Curnow will go to the GC if he leaves. Dont reckon we do anything really. Will be another disappointing off season that we fail to convince anyone to join us and will pick up JUH as a last resort option.

All good mate. Ill be sure to tag you each day to let you know nothing has happened.

GC have way more assets to offer.

They could literally do a Jed Walker for Curnow trade with a swap of a f1 for a f2 or something to balance it and would be about the mark. We don't have players that we'd be willing to let go of that are worth a fair bit. I mean sure we can let Chad go, but we've just signed the bloke for a million plus, Errol is no chance. Carlton hold the cards here

But dean has been talking a big game

I mean Matt Kennedy has a Melbourne based wife and had just had a kid, there's articles where he talks about how important family is, but you were unhappy at the club that we just didn't get him somehow when he went to another Vic team.

Yes, I always was in the trade Chad now camp and I stand by it. Silly move signing up a bloke who's not committed long term and who's form fluctuates from superstar to B-grader depending on how he feels on the day.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Thanks.

Curnow will be another player we’ll miss out on. We won’t pick up anyone as a delisted fee agency either. What a club!!!

Goes back to the wasteland that is Mortlake

It wasn't just Kennedy that we sat on our 'great' season though. We should have been talking to those players. I'm fine with us going to the draft with pick 9 though

How do you know we weren't talking to them?

Yes it's annoying that teams like Geelong and Brisbane go out of their way to improve their list even after they've won a flag and we continue to do nothing while watching the rest of the league improve around us. It's all good though, natural improvement will keep us going

Join the club could have got two firsts for the guys- not as if Chad coming to WC will make them a top 8 side, a top 3 pick this year and lets say a top 5 one next year, with some swaps in their favour. I do feel we've missed the boat. We could have then sent one of those for Curnow. We just don't have the assets for Curnow, said it all along it has to be a B+ to A player going their way and no one wants to trade them OR a top 5 selection and do tell how we get that without a top player going, for the last time points are the single worst indicator and the index is shocking. WC are not taking two mid picks that are diluted heavily for bid matching for a top 3 pick that's not

on the positive we get a soft draw next year

 

[TheGoatBaron]

The Swans during the trading period

Also doubles up as our players when being asked to go to the gym to beef up

The bullshit that is natural progression it is for 2026 Cadsky

I look forward to your tags every day about us doing nothing a per usual because we must be scared of another trade ban
