List Mgmt. 2025 List Management discussion - part 2

[gubby88]

I don’t know where you get this exodus talk.

There there some players who weren’t happy that’s common knowledge. I have no information on wether that’s still the case I guess we’ll see how many remain after the trade period.

As to Nas yes he stayed but are you seriously trying to make out it was nether in doubt.

common knowledge? common knowledge is that Wilkie and Steele stamed that out in public....but who should we believe more? the players and clubs..or the media???

 

[malevu]

At least the Nas and TDK contracts have pushed the noise around King's contract and his no show this year, to the back burner for a while.

 

[Half Back Pocket]

Saints are just the first to hit the $2m threshold, and have reportedly the top 2 highest PA salaries. Reid might squeeze into 2nd, and I would imagine over the next 2 x years we will see heftier contracts, potentially even greater than Nas' current one. Seems as though Essendon will have the ability to reel in a big fish with top dollar soon as well.

Tassie will have cash to splurge on a marquee player or 2 as well

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

I think my favourite thing about the media is when types who hate Saints (Andy Maher & Sam Edmund), don't acknowledge that Saints have saved almost $3m over the past 3 x years by underspending the cap. Andy even said something like "I don't know anything about list management" then proceeds to rag on St Kilda spending big on TDK. I know it's a non-serious buffoon show, but you'd think they would at least want to bring up crucial information for the listeners? I heard Saints fans calling up Dwayne's show who also have no clue and were saying how signing TDK is a "waste of money/don't want him."

I think I know those guys…

and Leek Aleer, I think JSOS should get the nod. He is a free agent and a much better performed player than Aleer.

It means we could use the draft pick touted for Aleer somewhere else.

We said the same thing about crouch and Caldwell

 

[EconomicDecline]

So, still waiting on the fate of the following?

Schoenmaker
Carroll
Windhager
Heath
Byrnes
Jones

probably because theyre playing finals.

man its gonna sting them bad when he nominates collingwood

 

[CaptainRisky]

Of course.
But if he’s fit he’ll play.
We missed both he and King this year.

I agree, but both fit is another thing

 

[Pardon me]

Tassie will have cash to splurge on a marquee player or 2 as well

Plus half their payments will be outside the cap as “ambassadors”

 

[SainterinSydney]

I agree, but both fit is another thing

If King hardly plays next year, I think he is cooked. I'm praying with every inch of my being (like all of us) that he is now over his injuries.

 

[pebblesofsand]

Find it amazing that anyone still believes ANYTHING the media says when it comes to contract length and salaries for players.

Take it all with a grain of salt, halve it then split the difference.

The AFL Community-Media have such a love for St Kilda.

The extended 44-player All Australian squad has Ben Long

and NAS!

No Sincs, no Wilkie

 

[Sol Goodman]

If King hardly plays next year, I think he is cooked. I'm praying with every inch of my being (like all of us) that he is now over his injuries.

He's only just turned 25. Most 200cm players only fill in at that age and get going around 26+.
You could say he's ahead of schedule

I know, I know, but it would be close to three years out of the game. I am hopeful for him next year.

 

[SainterinSydney]

Gents, we need reinforcements in the TDK thread in the general board. They are talking shit about our beloved Saints.

There has been absolutely zero news I am aware of since he was declared out for the year.

Is he jogging, is he even walking without pain? What is he doing for rehab? No news from the club at all.

What did he have, 3 operations? We are expected to just believe this one worked, I am not confident at all.

I would be shocked and delighted if he plays more than 15+ games next year.

Something just feels really off about his whole situation.

 

[Train12]

How many more delistings/ retirements do we think with currently;
Webster
Cordy
Boyd
McLennan

The last operation was completed after having scans and ultrasounds completed whilst max was under a training load that apparently showed damage to his meniscus in an awkward position that was apparently only visible under a training load where they could replicate the issue.

Wow. That was intense

Blows my mind some of the things people will say on a X account that is identifiably linked to them.

Do they not care about future employment whatsoever

"it's crazy, we could only see it when we asked him to do the exact thing that made it hurt, who'da thunk it?"
