List Mgmt. 2025 List Management discussion - part 2

[topbillings]

The vibes are good this week. Eddie McGuire saying Saints fans should be confident, Garry Lyon giving the "wink wink, nudge nudge" treatment on AFL 360, Ross Lyon torching the Port nuffy and putting to bed the rumours of a mass exodus and then tony74 returning! Not to mention Moorabbin Ghost popping champagne...

I already miss the nervous breakdown I have been suffering for the last several months.

Love that i have come back to 5 pages of.... SFA lol

So, if he signs, when do we open the thread discussing his free agency decision to stay or go?

GAWN

If the media team doesn't use the meme from The Office "its happening, don't panic", that will be worse than Nas not re-signing

They need the image of Nas shushing the Port crowd during our game this year. Actually, can someone source that beautiful screenshot for use at a later date

It’s a lot easier to sign for unders in that position and as a name synonymous with the club. He’ll get benefits from Collingwood fans for life. Aren’t you the same guy who was saying that giving money to TDK doesn’t matter because we lose it if we don’t use it?

Yes but TDK's deal sets him up for the life of his footballing career. It's his 'free agency' contract - the contract that maximises his remuneration in the prime of his career

Conversely, if you overpay a 22 year old like Windy now, you need to be prepared to overpay them just as much when they hit free agency in 4 years

Windhager wi

Josh Kelly finally?

I asked ChatGPT when it thinks Jelly Kelly will happen and it gave me this picture response

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Yes but Tony - and btw love you long time from all those years on SS - what do they know?

Yes, it’s not necessarily “good” knowledge

 

[AFaiL]

Anybody else find it funny that in any other season we are hanging on the TDK will he wont he.... but now, zero stuffs given lol

Still an upgrade on Hannebery

 

[SainterinSydney]

He has been going with Nas staying, so it is good knowledge.

 

[Joffaboy]

You don't have to apologise, mate.

Who knows what figures are actually correct?

Your concerns are definitely valid. I don't feel them personally though.

It would be a disaster if he fails. But that's the same with any big recruit.

Agree with this, concerns are justified, and none of us really know the $$$$.

 

[SainterinSydney]

Moorabbin Ghost has also traditionally been an ITK, so I'm excited to see that champagne pop.

 

[Remboy]

Are we?
After watching Richo and Ratten fck it up I’m ok the club is taking a swing
IF (yep it’s IF) TDK plays anywhere near his first 6 games this year it’s a masterpiece and makes us better
IF Aleer comes in can hold down a back position and free up Wilkie ….
You gotta have a go to get a go and give current FA market I’d rather pay TDK than lose the $ OR have to spread it across a list who don’t deserve it
Been there done that

I afpgree. Especially if the alternative is to stick with the list we’ve got and hope they all do a NAZ and become superstars in the next few years.

In reality, this has been me since the bye

I mean if you look at nas being a 'get' at this stage. We're basically a chance at getting the two biggest players available. For no draft picks!

And only 30% of the salary cap haha

 

[stfan]

People forget how electrifying TDK was earlier in the season.

He will be amazing for us.

 

[SaintSteele9]

So everyone reckons Nas leaving but the mail is he stays. Hence Ross rolls out the “Buddy was going to GWS until he wasn’t”

STAYS CONFIRMED

 

[Tommy Wigs]

If this is the case I apologise, didn't know

Would be interested to hear if this is accurate or not. Certainly a long way from what’s being reported by our mates in the media. The media’s inaccuracy is a consistent delicacy, but that’s a mile off.

 

[LennyHayes77]

Can anyone sum up today's 20 pages in a paragraph for me?

 

[Sully111]

NAS will be announced next week same with windy

Why next week?

 

[Jackbenimble]

B

Why next week?

Because Archie66 said

TDK was dominant last year too.

People are either willfully ignoring that or don't watch much footy.

He's a gun when fully fit & firing.

Yeah it sounds as though some so called supporters are willing TDK and Aleer to be failures so they can have some sort of ego win on an anonymous online football forum.
To me that sounds really a bit sad. I have always been sceptical on TDK, but if he comes on board, I am hoping like hell they both are absolute superstars for us.

Was not a fan of Travaglia, preferred Reid but hoping like hell he stars for us.
Why you would be barracking for them to fail so as to brag on a forum is a curious way to behave to say the least.
