List Mgmt. 2025 List Management discussion - part 2

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

Actually I wouldn't mind sticking Owens into the defence. His kicking is iffy on goal but quite neat in the field. He'd replace Battle.

closing speed of a beached walrus

 

[stavro#4]

We have more cap space than you can imagine and half our squad is under 22. Already have a ton of young small forwards.

Than likely some random non first round picks.

 

[topbillings]

Honestly people should get down

I'm not falling for this one again, Captain.

 

[cowboy18]

This may reflect my poor searching skills, but was the meaning of "Bongos for Longer" ever resolved?

 

[stavro#4]

I'm not falling for this one again, Captain.

Paddy is already in the centre circle for the anticipated circle jerk

 

[busso_mick]

Nothing wrong with having high expectations. Amazing how pressure can elevate a side. Dogs after their captain walked out. Tigers after threats to spill the board and sack the coach etc.

I am full of hope for us next year. We have gone to the draft patiently the last 3 or 4 years and now is the perfect time to augment our list with players from outside the club. The precedent is Adelaide who managed 8.5 wins last year and have doubled that this year with some astute recruiting and natural improvement. They have had access to Thilthorpe for most of the year, if we can get multiple games into King then I see us taking big strides in 2026.

Where has the Jiath story come from?

There is a picture in this thread of him at RSEA Park.

It wasn't revealed when the picture was taken though.

If you search this thread for Jiath, it should be there somewhere.

 

[Geezington]

So incoming recruits of:

Defence: Aleer
Midfield: ???
Ruck: TDK
Forward: Ryan

Ned Flanders

 

[topbillings]

Where has the Jiath story come from?

Not sure if there's been any more information, but someone posted a photo of Jiath and (allegedly) Adam Cerra at Linton St.

Could be something, could be nothing...

Freo is much better than laithlain
Especially under the current administration
The only constant is uncle Nigel satterley
Very good to the club

it really isn't.

 

[buck12]

This would be my lineup as things stand in 2026. Obviously not all these will be fit for round 1 but if they were…

Jiath is a gun. Why would Hawthorn let him go?

One of the most injury prone players in footy.

 

[Ads734]

Pou is not loud, he is an introvert. He prefers his own company. Yes he intense and very focused, but loud he is not.

Loud not in terms of the group. In terms of in games.

 

[Sainter88]

What’s more impressive is how Nas has been playing while wrestling with a big decision on his future.
Shows a real maturity.

Big dick alpha energy

 

[ESPN8 The Ocho]

The only weird thing about this whole saga is that Wilkie said Nas told him on Saturday and Nas said he told Ross first yesterday. But really, who cares.

Easily explained.
He sees Ross as the formal leader/father figure.
He sees Wilkie (and Steele too if I’m correct) as informal leader/close friend.
He would formally notify the Club via Ross, informally talk to Wilkie beforehand.

The two can be true at the same time.

Also.
There’s zero chance that Windy/Chito didn’t know beforehand given how tight they are.

 

[Sainter88]

This prick is full on giving me goosebumps

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Just got done dealing with port fans over rating their players now we gotta deal with west coast fans

King staying fit is massive. That alone is probably worth a few more wins.

It's amazing how sliding doors in footy can completely change the feeling of optimism surrounding your fortunes. Nas leaves to Adelaide and we are cap in hand begging for a few scraps while they are starting premiership favourites.

A day later and Adelaide have a scandal, lost their trade target and the wheels look wobbly for 2025.

St Kilda will probably now sign Windhager and a few dangling carrots all of a sudden look a lot more tasty.

So have you desisted Howard

 

[From 45]

Not everyone deserves to fit in at the moment. That's the whole point.

Exactly. No club would guarantee a player he will play every game. What the club is selling him is security of a 4 year contract on decent coin. That’s what’s going to entice him
