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

Must admit, I’m absolutely furious SOS hasn’t met with Silvagni yet. What’s he waiting for?

You’d think he’d even offer to do a training pick up or drop off just to get 5 mins in the car to see if his personality aligns. What if JSOS’s parents aren’t the right fit?

Does he make his bed anymore? Is he on board with the correct Dim Sim brand? Ffs, these are crucial questions. I’m starting to doubt SOS even knows how to use his Outlook calendar.

heard he still uses hotmail and myspace

 

[BrutThough]

Gettable.

Watch on Sam Flanders to the saints.

I'm a huge Flanders fan but Gold Coast are going to be absolutely pricks if he wants to come to us. They are not happy at all about our comments so wont make anything easy for us.

 

[Yawkey way]

Boyd was roma injury insurance.
You don't get upset when you don't use your insurance.
You feel happy that things didn't go to custard.

Boyd was a stupid pick up, we were nether in the hunt and Moose had been on the list how long.

Heath is a monster who’s perfectly capable of providing a contest, we’d been using owens for a chop out for gods sake. We hindered Heath’s development and took up a list spot we could have used on any of the players already mentioned.

Big deal now we move on but it was imo a mistake.

They also need picks to get all their academy kids.

 

[BrutThough]

And just relax on windy.

They are all still working through it.

Intent is there from both sides.

I want to believe you. But until something is sorted, it's hard not to be concerned.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Oh FGS, that figures. Who’s running the show down there. Basket case.

 

[BrutThough]

We dont have much to help there with no 2nd.

Maybe we'd have to move our first back for multiple picks and get creative?

 

[stavro#4]

All of a sudden that Rowell $2m offer looks legit phantom13

• few 100k (upto 500k) extra for Nas
• Flanders probably takes 800k
• Ryans 600k

 

[stavro#4]

We dont have much to help there with no 2nd.

We have a first.

Potentially a second with Marshall.

Potentially something for Steele - who I just can’t see us retaining if we get Flanders.

If Marshall was to be traded I would be disappointed with anything other than Geelong's 1st coming our way

 

[FQFjt]

Interesting that Twomey mentioned (and dismissed) a rumour that we were into JDG again.

When I said potentially a second.

I was referring to a second first round pick.

Dekoning and maxibon are all well and good but I want this KING at the saints

Looked pretty old as an under ager, ring in.

 

[SaintOfLondon]

There have been several different posters referring to a young mid that we are chasing. No ITKs though that I recall.
It may be genuine, or it may just be bullshit.

But even if genuine it would be a trade scenario and so may not happen.

Mackenzie isn't it?

 

[stavro#4]

 

[bergholt]

Hot take: if we signed Flanders and Mackenzie, we wouldn't need Windy.

 

[Falchoon]

I'm a huge Flanders fan but Gold Coast are going to be absolutely pricks if he wants to come to us. They are not happy at all about our comments so wont make anything easy for us.

It depends how seriously they are into Curnow.

 

[SainterinSydney]

This will be us approaching Gold Coast after all those nepo baby comments

 

[BrutThough]

It depends how seriously they are into Curnow.

Good point. I hadn't considered that.

 

[MrFoster]

Hot take: if we signed Flanders and Mackenzie, we wouldn't need Windy.

But North doesn’t have a first round pick to trade for Windy.

Part of the reason I still think most of this shit is bullshit.

Also part of why there would be concern about windy.

 

[stavro#4]

This is interesting from Edmund.

The Saints are spreading the word that they will acquire Flanders in the exchange window after making contact with Gold Coast about a trade in the middle of the year.

Maybe it’s as simple as they don’t rate him at those numbers $$$$?

At this point it has to be a consideration

That sounds good if we have already put work into this and it isn't a spur of the moment thing.

 

[saintbill]

The salary cap release valve is Marshall and Steele.

Think we would regret losing Marshall. Don't think losing Steele is a big deal now we have Macrae.

We have a lot of midfield options next year. NAS, Hall, Pou, Windy, Garcia, Boxshall, Wilson.

Not sure him staying helps us that much.
