2025 List Management Discussion - Part 3

Now that our season is over, and news is starting to break - it's time for a fresh thread.

This thread is to discuss all things list management - trades, draft, free agency, delistings and more.
As we are now officially in our off-season, we'll be wanting to keep this thread more strictly on-topic than the previous iterations.
Be respectful. You are allowed to disagree with someone - but play the ball, not the man. Repeat offenders will have their posting rights revoked.

Thanks to Lore once again for this incredibly useful spreadsheet.

2025 KEY DATES
Free Agency Period: Friday, October 3rd - Friday, October 10th
Trade Period: Monday, October 6th - Wednesday, October 15th
AFL Draft: Wednesday, November 19th - Thursday, November 20th

2019	9th	12th
2020	11th	10th
2021	14th	9th
2022	18th (last)	7th
2023	18th (last, big gap)	6th
2024	16th	5th

Love this. Let's judge him on playing in a team that hasn't gone 11-79 its past four seasons. I'd love to see what he could do for us.

Keep in mind. I’m not saying it’s factual.

I’m saying based off his history if we have a list spot open, Ross will look.

• Ben Cousins
• Andrew Lovett
• Colin Sylvia
• Harley Bennell
• Tarryn Thomas

None of the above had things squared away.

I know this is so not the point. But Cuz's ability to perform week in week out, including on the big stage, while also being a complete trainwreck off-field, is absolutely unparalleled. The second half of the 06 prelim is the best individual performance I have ever seen. Bar none

Still dreaming that we recruited him in 09. Massive sliding doors moment. I even have a vague recollection of him being given a Saints jumper before we pulled the offer. With him, I genuinely think we win both 09 and 10. We have 3 flags. Lovett never happens. Etc etc

Sure having him would have impacted others around the club. But onfield his performance never wavered. And its not like we didnt have our own internal issues. Plus we have been a dumpster fire since 2011 anyway. The last decade and a half would have been a lot easier to sit through with those cups in the cupboard

Sorry to intrude but there was a report of a Dodson being sighted at the crows headquarters today on our board. Hasn't he just signed an extension with you guys. I can only assume he was there to catch up with some of his old u18 mates welsh, draper?. Seemed an odd report

Our club let's interstate players go home and have time with their family at the end of their season

What street will he be in

what browser do you use? On PC, Mac or do you use a phone?

Solely iPhone (Safari).

Go over to the TDK thread to renew your vindictiveness towards them.
Their problem id guys like Mathesion. They got used to the Elliotts running the show, winning by buying flags and the corporate culture. They just didn't adapt to the AFL and equalisation with the big end of town with too much say.
Sounds like we have as many heavy hitters at the club, but ours just craves success, while Carlton big noises expect and think they are entitled to success, so integer with the running. Our get involved when asked.

I've only ever been to one other side's board and that was enough. Read a Port supporter's reenactment of a scene from Mad Max eating a tin of dog food sitting on a mine hillock outside Broken Hill watching the sunset. They made you campaigners seem normal.

Lol..of course, but to an opposition clubs headquarters was the odd part

 

[TheJackal]

Its actually part of our list management sell, not only are you allowed to go home and have time with the family in the off-season- you also get an extra 5 weeks of annual leave.

Solely iPhone (Safari).

It costs money ($4 if I remember right) but worth every cent. It's called AdGuard. Will sort out your issues on Safari.

Don't need advanced protection, or the VPN part.

Would Mackenzie even be guaranteed best 22 with us? Who does he displace? Unless Windhager is leaving, and even then, you'd think Wilson and Boxshall would be ear marked for that slot, and they'd be like 500k a year cheaper?

I think Clark would be very nervous the Saints could pull off Flanders and Cmac. Add in the exciting talent of our younger group and one might think his time at the Saints would be on borrowed time. Hunter does some nice things in the midfield, but ultimately, in my opinion, he won’t take the Saints to glory deep into September.

Game changer.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

keep best player at your club on new deal, sign best available free agent to move to your club, get other players to request a trade to your club

HA! Good luck with morale!


... I shouldn't think it would be too hard but ok thanks Damo.

Yet he twists the Carlton SD into a positive

What a complete twat

 

[hangdog]

I don't know the ins and outs of the club but i can tell you on the 28th of July i got a message saying , Nas staying 2 year deal , TDK done , Aleer Done , Flanders good as Done , Another EX Saints player wanted to come back but i doubt that will happen , then the next day another Bird Told me about how we have been talking with McKenzie's management.
I had messaged a few this info so it can be verified

Would you mind private messaging me the Powerball numbers?

 

[Banger9798]

Fantastic news.

'Mass Exodus' means keeping everyone, right?

So will anyone call the journalists on the Mass Exodus bulltish??
Who was it again, Tim Watson, Rucci, few other dickheads.
Let's see a few reprisals.

 

[goodie23]

West coast owe us. Jamie Cripps closing on 300 games. Trade was Cripps and 46 for 41 and 44.

Ryan for a bag of beans seems fair

More than happy to pay them back for that screwing.

I have no idea what that means.

Just pay $20 and get the premium membership or whatever they call it. No ads is worth it alone.

 

[Banger9798]

Geez Purple is a toad of a man

IF it was Plugger in the '90s and Buddy in the '10s ... THEN

Sliding Doors is at the pointy end of the 2025 season .. and Damo's still got plenty on his mind

www.afl.com.au

If we win one, I want to be sitting next to him to watch him crumple and dissolve into a puddle like a wicked witch.

Paying $20 for the premium membership and you still get suspended is complete horse shit lol.

$4 for an app on iPhone, free add-ons if you're on PC.
