List Mgmt. 2025 List Management discussion - part 2

[botts]

Being in this thread is like being being permanently trapped in the Monty Python “I’d like to buy and argument” sketch.

No it’s not

 

[SainterinSydney]

So, I wasn’t there. But I’ve had a few people all tell me the same thing.

Bruce Eva was our MC for the clubs pre game function. Mission was the club guest.

Bruce asked who would be wearing #7 next year.

Missions response: we are all hopeful who, but as Ross says in the fullness of time.

Apparently after the event ended Eva was openly telling people who asked that from what he was hearing - the club were starting to get confident.

So, something changed in our favour in the last week

I think we all know what has likely changed

 

[Sully111]

What you did wasn't clever. You just looked like a w***er. 90% of people saw through it, others just want to believe because they love Nas so much. You have no reason to act like a hero or that you're smarter than everyone else.

Reckon that's a bit harsh.

100% of people should have seen through it.

I thought he was just having a laugh.

I know I'm on my own a bit because there's a "people should be able to post what they know" sentiment here, but people have just been making shit up. It's wild.

A club representative, at a club event, with club benefactors parroted the clubs line which benefits the club...

Not sure anything has changed there.

Another reason to be cheerful. Here's Higgo compared to the rest of the comp for goal contributions (goals + goal assists) this year:

85+: Cameron
80+:
75+:
70+:
65+: Thilthorpe, Naughton, Gunston
60+: Elliott
55+: King, Georgiades, Higgins
50+: Walker, Morris, Darcy, Larkey, Fogarty, West, Zurhaar
45+: Hogan, Pickett, Rankine, Richards, Dangerfield, Treacy, Long, Neale, Heeney, Stengle, Cadman

Currently sitting 8th in the rankings, comfortably clear of every other small forward except Elliott.

Won't quite be AA, though if he has a big last few games he might scrape into the squad.

But we have a good quality 26 year old small forward who's quietly having the best year of his career, and should have at least another 5 years of good production ahead of him. As an example, Elliott is currently having the best year of his career at 32, and in fact this is the only year he's kicked more goals than Jack's got this year.

Jack's going nowhere, going to be great to have him as the young core develops.

Yep overlooked too often.
Having an excellent year.

Any draft related article about a Northern club will inevitably try to reference St Kilda somehow. Those clubs supporters have their knickers in a knot because we are calling out in inequality of the AFL.

Best way to get a supporter base to like what you have written is to appeal to their outrage.

Might be having a laugh but it's literally something anyone could do and some people will believe it. I just don't get what's funny about it at all but each to their own I guess.

 

[SainterEire]

No post for 11 minutes?
How am I meant to look busy at my desk now

 

[Joffaboy]

I am looking forward to the NAZ aftermath on here whichever way it goes.
Will be an absolute free for all

Tom Morris is trying to break news without any news to break.

 

[Sainter62]

There's just no scenario in which we can gift him to port for cents on the dollar.

If we lose him to the psd for nothing because they won't pay fair value (3 picks with two firsts + a real player as an example) then that's the risk we have to take.

If he doesn't want to go to the psd - sign for 2 more and we'll try figure it out in a few years time.

Club has to be as strong as we've ever been.

stronger than we've ever been ......

 

[Mstr Strokesman]

Been to long now,no reason for him not to be signed.GONE.
Reckon trying to sort out which players are willing to leave Port is why nothing.
No use coming out saying he is leaving if ducks are not partially lined up .
Just hope,SOS and Co are really prepared to fight for a Judd like deal.
Naz leaving with Tassie coming in next years draft is probably the worst timing for any sort of equal compensation .

Not sure anything has changed there.

So is that not a positive.

That club benefactors are being told that. They are unfortunately higher up the totem poll than us.

So if that’s what the club is choosing to leak out to settle their nerves. That can only be a good thing.

 

[Sully111]

So did people actually show up to training expecting an announcement?

What are they being "told"?

Absolutely ****ing nothing.

Theyre being given the exact same message everyone at the Saints would be expected to toe in light of any actual news or developments.

To be clear im not saying its a negative, im saying it is a nothing.

They werent told hes going, they werent told hes staying they were told "were confident" as in "make sure you keep donating and buying expensive tickets to dinners cause were totally across this"

That’s not how it works.

But sure.

Meanwhile, on the Port Board, they are debating how Nas gets through 4 teams to Port for free in the PSD
