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.

Free Agency Period: Friday, October 3rd - Friday, October 10th

Mate it is garbage. And that is from someone who watches my niece live whenever I can.
She just played her 50th game and we are out for dinner. Came up to Canberra to watch so I am not just an AFLW hater.

I watch women’s rugby. It’s great.

 

[Joffaboy]

It’s Marcus Ashcroft

Watching on my phone at dinner, thanks for the correction.

All good

I had to check myself

Couldn't think there could be anything worse thsn men's rugby but there is.

Give it a go. It’s not bad

 

[OxSaint]

Watching tonight? I'd suggest he's absolutely worth pick 7 considering he is contracted and this year's draft is just one big question mark.

It will also be pick 11 or 12 on the night. I think the league still over values picks outside the top 10.

 

[NextYearPlease]

I'm usually arguing against people declaring a clash, but this doesn't look right. From a distance on the TV, looks pretty similar to the Brisbane kit. The dark shorts don't help much.

Should have gone to Specsavers.

 

[Holy Hunter Clark]

JUH kicked out of the local footy today lmfao

 

[BrutThough]

There's no way we can give up pick 7 for Flanders. Don't get me wrong I would love to get him but he's not worth such a high pick given his output this year.

Or a future first. I like him but we cant hand away either of those picks for him.

Watched parts of the game, looked ok but on no planet is he worth a first round pick straight up. He will be a salary dump for the Suns.

 

[tomjoad]

Flanders is clean. Hope we get him. Give me clean over speed any day.

Been saying it for years, if you can execute skills to a high standard, and hit targets from 40-50m, or create space with a clever handball you don't need to run like a band of headless chooks for 2+ hours.
We may tout ourselves as a fit team, but skilled we are not. The more clean users that can also stick a mark, the better.

SOS told him to help us out in the trade price

Let’s see if he can manage to get close enough to his opponent in the last quarter to attempt a tackle.

Like the price could get any lower

 

[tomjoad]

Yeah, that part of his game seems to be lacking a bit. I don't know what he's usually like though...never really bothered looking at him until recently.
Brisbane are also probably the best team in the league at standing up in pressure and tackles.

 

[magd2992]

I didn’t.

Well In that case, I’m glad you’re fighting the good fight for those that were forced to watched it. Not all heroes wear capes.

For mine he spends most of his time on the wing, as he did when he was on-ball, looking to get into position to receive. He has never put in much of an effort defensively.

 

[beside the seaside]

14 disposals, 0 tackles. Will be an absolute salary dump for the Suns, hopefully we have to give very little for him and he can take his game up a few notches again.

 

[Dard Ball Get]

I didn’t.

You’ve stirred the virtue signalling hornets nest ya bastard

Is there not an argument though that we have enough defensive mids?
Some clean users in and around our in and under types...especially with guys like Hill in decline, might be a little bit of what we need?

Im confused, are you referring to Flanders? 20 touches and a single goal/tackle.

Wasn't an incredible game, but far from their worst in a game where they were throroughly outplayed.

After watching both him and Cmac this weekend and taking into account the level they are playing at, I'd take Flanders if I had to choose.

 

[Saints4ever]

Flanders still remains a yes from me.

Apologies the stats musnt have updated on the app. Still a very average game though right? Like I said I want him but don't think we should be giving up pick 7 for him.

For what?

 

[Plugger35]

I'm still in favour of getting Flanders, there's also the potential added bonus of being able to get Rod and Todd under the F/S rule.
