List Mgmt. 2025 List Management discussion - part 2

[Dard Ball Get]

No interest in Flanders. What am I missing?

 

[BrutThough]

How did Tony know?

Tony just knows. He's that good.

 

[Captain Paddy]

Anyway you were right, just a few weeks early. The board should owe you a debt of gratitude
Run with that and see how you go

Going early, story of my life Jof

 

[jwikked]

Ross's latest tweet: "Saddle up" hmmmmmmm... Is that like "Saddle up for the Nas era" or "Saddle up for a string of important re-signings/trades"? Hoping for the latter, will happily settle for the former.

Where? He hasn’t tweeted for 3 days, unless you’re talking about the “strap yourselves in” tweet from 2016

 

[hangdog]

Now let's sign Windy, Wilson and Dodson
Get TDK
Get Aleer
Get mini pou
Get Fincher
Personally, I think marshall is gone
We need the pick for Aleer

If we effectively trade Marshall for Aleer all this positivity would disappear...

By about 60%...

The Nas news is just too good to be completely ruined.

 

[Ads734]

Quick sneaky one.

Let’s target Bobby Hill.
Obviously going through some stuff. Fits our list requirements perfectly. With Brad , Naz, Henry etc could be a decent get.

 

[gringo2011]

Nas signing is just so huge in so many ways. The fork in the road came and without Nas it would have been a really hard hit on field but devastating commercially.

It's real air in the sails stuff and hopefully the cheap memberships and show of faith from Nas translate to fuller stadiums and better TV exposure. Huge for attracting talent, sponsors and new fans too.

We haven't had much to celebrate since 2010 but this is a huge moment for us. We hit the future with a genuine elite level talent with a bunch of kids who should improve with exposure.

Like winning form, positivity and momentum are hard to create from nothing. This is organic and home grown. I don't give praise lightly but this has made me proud of the club and Nas and I tip my hat to all those that got this sorted and signed.

It's also nice to be on the forum without an anxiety riddled fan base eating each other. Sorry for my bad behaviour during the whole period and well done all involved in bringing this to a positive outcome.

 

[Sainter88]

Good thing we don’t have to belt Nas into submission at the Seaford Hotel so he’ll sign

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Can we take a minute to really drum down how good this week is. Apart from nas. Finches got best of for sandy and looks every bit a first rounder. We are also interested in paddy voss as a father son. Windy would be crazy to leave. Bassat deserves some credit. Took the hard call to get Lyon and it’s paying off in spades. This never happens to us.
I pick up my son from kinder today and genuinely shed a tear I was that happy. What a day!!!

Jackson Voss- son of Brett

 

[Saint12]

Watching RTB interview on the Agenda Setters has convinced me that my absence from this s**tstain of a thread was the correct decision.

There are people here who should be ashamed of the childish, uninformed, garbage they’ve forced the rest of us to either endure, or boycott.

Happy for you Foss. Naz is that elite ELITE player youlve always wanted

 

[Remboy]

saints also have the trigger clause for 8 more years. Nas can activate that at any time.

Is that at $2 mill per year?

This is a Gringo I can get behind.

Banner day for the club, player group and supporters !

 

[Geezington]

Reckon he would have been muzzled by producers. Tonight wasn’t about Kane, and no one wanted to hear it.

He wouldn’t of been muzzled by anyone Kane is a bitch lmao, typical port cuck gutless weak as piss bitch sook

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Might go get some froyo to celebrate.

Is Jase still going to be able to have fun without Nas?

 

[gringo2011]

My 2 cents:

• Nas: best decision he's ever made. His career will now be not just successful but iconic. Good for St Kilda, good for Indigenous Australian footy, good for everyone, but crucially also good for him, though it will hurt at times; becoming your true self can't really happen until you move away from your family IMO. Becoming an instant millionaire will also help!
• Probably nearly 1000 pages and months by hundreds of BF Saints fans spent on anxious posts, all just based on Tom Morris and Jon Ralph stirring shit. Plenty of posters here need to stop paying any attention to those clickbaiting deadshits.
• That N° 7 Candy stripe Saints top is going to become iconic very quickly, it is such a great design too which helps, especially on our darker skinned players, the white really pops. But seeing the white back with black cuffs and RWB on the bottom topped off with that black 7 makes my heart beat faster. I normally swerve club merch but I'm going to have to get one of those with the 7 on the back I think. If the Saints merchandising dept are any good, they'll be producing more and putting an offer on those for a limited time, they will sell out! If I was in that dept, I'd be getting photos of Nas playing in that top printed on mobile phone cases, keyrings, phone wallpaper, and all sorts - tout suite.
• Winmar, Hayes, Dunstan, Wanganeen-Milera all in the Saints 7. Such a great number for us. Pity the next player to get it, got plenty to live up to.
• Windy and Keeler must be retained, especially Windy. Who cares if his DE isn't that high. He is heart and soul St Kilda, will probably be our next captain and one of my favourite players.
• Wouldn't you like to have been a fly on the wall in that final meeting between Bassat and Williams?
• I agree with other posters saying if we are still less loveable than Port Adelaide and Adelaide in 2 years, fair play, Nas can go - along with Ross and whoever else has held us back. I'm dead sure that won't be the case.
• 2 mil is a lot, and unfortunately is now the AFL benchmark for best talent. We're hoping Phillipou, Wilson, Travaglia and Tauru, as well as the other young guns on our list will follow a similar trajectory, but keep in mind the mess our club got itself in the last time it paid such a large majority of its cap to a small group of players. A problem for tomorrow, but lets hope we are smarter this time.
• Ross's latest tweet: "Saddle up" hmmmmmmm... Is that like "Saddle up for the Nas era" or "Saddle up for a string of important re-signings/trades"? Hoping for the latter, will happily settle for the former.
• Am stoked for Indigenous footy; plenty of very good first nations players around at the moment, but Nas is another level; an icon. Something for young kids to idolise, it's going to be great watching the footy media drool over him in our team for the next few years.
• I am really hoping that Nas finds something in Melbourne that makes it home for him, whether it's a partner, community, lifestyle. Family has already cost us one Milera and that's more than enough.
• A St Kilda team with all of the following hitting their best is scary good: Nas, King, Hall, Phillipou, Wilson, Higgins, De Koning, Tauru, Travaglia, Garcia, Owens, Windhager, Boxshall, Dodson, Sharman, Hastie, Henry, Keeler, Caminiti, Heath, Stocker, O'Connell, Collard, and Aleer - that's our future, and that's even without Barrat, Said, and Armstrong who haven't be seen, plus Clark, Shoenmaker, Dow and Carroll who at this stage are happy bonuses, and all the older players like Sinclair and Wilkie, some of whom have plenty of years ahead. Let's look at the above list in order of age...
  • 26 yo: Higgins, De Koning?, Clark
  • 25 yo: King, Sharman, Henry, Stocker, Dow
  • 23 yo: Hall, Henry, Heath, Aleer?
  • 22 yo: Wanganeen-Milera, Windhager, O'Connell, Carroll
  • 21 yo: Owens, Keeler, Caminiti
  • 20 yo: Phillipou, Wilson, Garcia, Collard, Schoenmaker
  • 19 yo: Hastie, Dodson, Boxshall, Said, Armstrong
  • 18 yo: Tauru, Travaglia, Barrat
  • and that's also without any other trades or draftees that we don't know about yet. Reason for optimism, despite the much stronger teams currently than us. Let's just hope that Ross and his team have what it takes to get the best out of all of the above, but that's the game isn't it?

The underrated part of him staying is the pressure being a star player in a 2 team city would have piled on him. St Kilda is a great fit, we are a much more embracing and low key environment and he'll be able to keep some level of normality in his life while playing footy at a high level.

Not just the playing up on the partner I hear…
Do not want non-committal f-ups anywhere near the joint.

 

[hangdog]

My dad is 72 and he said he believes now he will live to see another St Kilda premiership. I think there is something in my eye.

My dad is 67, and his response to the signing in the family chat was as follows...

 

[Moquo]

How did Tony know?

Tony said that you would ask that

 

[SainterinSydney]

This would be Butters now

 

[austinnn]

Where? He hasn’t tweeted for 3 days, unless you’re talking about the “strap yourselves in” tweet from 2016

Oops. Didn't read the date!

Well said

 

[Anythings_sipposible]

The saltiness of the Port posters on the draft and trading board is just the icing on today's cake

 

[bwardi]

How good does getting TDK, Aleer, Fincher, potentially Voss and who knows who else looks now!
