List Mgmt. 2025 List Management discussion - part 2

[topbillings]

i think we've missed him all year. its made it very hard for Sharman and Wood

I think Owens has been the most affected. Feels like his development halted this year, not having an elite key forward to work underneath.

We've seen how Nas and Windy both blossomed this year (hitting the right age bracket) - and I always thought Owens looked more promising early in his career. But he's just not the #2 tall forward in a team, which is what he's been playing as most of the year.

mate i havent seen a saint like this since lenny

everything he does just makes you love him more

he's an absolute beauty!

This might be me caught up in the moment and getting overexcited, but don't know I have seen the love for a Saints player since Barks.
That's putting him ahead of Harves,Plugger, Nicky, Burkey, Reiwoldt, or even Lenny.
The seemingly universal love for him and the opposition supporters who came on this thread to congratulate, points towards a universally loved player.
That clip of him bursting out of the centre taking a bounce and then slotting from outside fifty was breathtaking.

Guilty

 

[mighty_sainters]

Let me be crystal clear here tony74.

When you post, I read.
When you’re silent, I wait patiently.
When you tell us to trust, I trust.
When you visit the forum, I watch.

Show yourself immediately and accept our gratitude.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Hopefully Port and Crows save up their picks for the next two years.
At the very least in 28 we should have three first rounders plus our own. So if everything goes to the shit at least we’ll have a chance at a quick mini rebuild.

 

[StCicatriz]

where is Fincher forecast to go in the draft?

if he's going to go high, would this be the year we would trade down for picks? and maybe accumulate a player on the way?

 

[Goddardwetrust]

I think it prudent to let Nas have the rest of the year off.

 

[stfan]

Much like his uncle Gavin, hopefully Nas leads a younger than expected side to premiership glory in the next 24 months.

We in particular need a few more great ball users like Nas, Sincs and more recently the impressive Hall who has a real knack of being very damaging with his ball use which often end up in us scoring in the chains that he is involved in.

 

[Flandersss]

What a fantastic day to be a Sainter

After a long wait, this is the moment Nasiah decided to stay

This guy just got back from 3 weeks off and immediately breaks the UNBREAKABLE story. Now some might say it was pure luck - but I'm still impressed.

He has got a Brownlow to win

 

[Mat Mann]

Agree with all of that. People have bagged the use of Pou up forward, but he is not fit enough for mids and I reckon him and Henry are being used this way for preseason. Get run in the legs and a full preseason. Not concerned about their form at all
You are spot on with Boxshall. Saw some of the Essendon game highlights and one lightning fast handball.out if congestion for a goal was magnificent

I had that thought as well. Performance secondary to confidence in the body

Really, again ? He will have made a neat little stack of skrilla over the last two weeks.

I'll be sure to wait with baited breath for Kane's hard hitting journalism

What’s the bet he goes full Nuffie like old mate Tom

 

[ThomasR]

We have no idea what Port would have given us in a trade,but if ths Tom Morris report on $30 million @ $2.5 a season is correct the AFL needs to address this situation immediately for future deals and teams to be renumunerated fairly to the deal offered.
As mentioned we have no idea what we would have been offered,but i bet it would've have been bordering on absolute disrespect for an opposition club

Tom has since deleted that tweet, reckon he got a call from Port saying he was way off the mark

agree somewhat with your point but the only thing I would add is that fair value in a trade should be assessed on what the player's current club is offering, not the acquiring club

eg if GWS are only prepared to offer Aleer 2x$400k and we are offering 4x$600k, they should be compensated on the basis of their offer and not ours

It as a close to a perfect goal that one can get.

Nas is the first "I take my time to watch this guy" we have had since Plugger

 

[Saintos The ITK]

How is Maxie progressing with his injury anyhow??? Anyone heard????? Round ??????

I still have the D-Train slightly in front.

 

[The_Steadier]

Well done lads! see you in 2 years

We are all terribly scared of losing the best player in the AFL to port adelaide because of your irresistibly bright future.

I think Owens has had an ordinary year.. he has played better footy, nothing to do with who is around him. We have quite a few players who haven't done well in contested situations this season, and one of the reasons we haven't done well in a lot games.

 

[mighty_sainters]

How is Maxie progressing with his injury anyhow??? Anyone heard????? Round ??????

Saw him on the Dodson debut announcement video, seemed to have no more brace on the knee but I would imagine he would be on ice for a few more months.

 

[BarkerFan]

So NAS has signed after 1465477 pages of meaningless discussion. We are just getting started.

Time to start the "We should have traded NAS when his value was high" discussion.

 

[Obss]

I want to hear the numbers on how the membership tally went up. Hopefully smashed expectations

 

[Remboy]

How is Maxie progressing with his injury anyhow??? Anyone heard????? Round ??????

He was on the bike in the gym a couple of weeks ago. So he'll either be right for round one or the Tour de France.

Cal Twomey head and shoulders above the other AFL journalists.

 

[Ads734]

Naz must be a genuine shout for AFLPA MVP.

 

[BrutThough]

Fair play from that Will guy for buying one of the Nas memberships. As close to a journo acknowledging they got it wrong as we will get.
