List Mgmt. 2025 List Management Discussion - Part IV

[Hubnester]

2025 List Management Discussion - Part 4

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

[NAS THE GOAT]

If Neddy Flanders is silly enough to choose NOT to jump on the Saints train with us…. What do you campaigners think about us using pick 7 to chase Z.Duursma?

Plays a high half forward role and was pick 4 in an excellent draft. Development has been neglected in the Kangas cesspool in circumstances that nobody could thrive in. I think he will develop nicely in a good team

With the potential loss of Roma to the Cats and some of us hoping that fast tracks Dodson, it's interesting to note that, if I recall correctly, the Cats actually took his SA ruckman team mate just before we took Dodson last year. Does anyone know how the bloke Geelong took went this year?

dont know,but he is not even being named as a possible if they fail to get an outsider in,conway and edwards being the 2 named outside of stanley and blicavs

 

[jimmytigs]

Can somebody tell me what are those circles on tom de koning shoulders and back?

sitanic ritual to ward of vossy?

Zane Duursma plays for North Melbourne

I’d be pretty disappointed if we did that if I’m honest.

Old bump (man this thread moves quick) but compare Trac in hospital to Dow and the story the club did about that.

Player welfare (physical, mental and emotional) matters, I reckon we get that and I love it.

Cupping.

 

[Yawkey way]

Bailey Humphrey would cause significant movement down south

Nah.

I was a fan at one stage and thought he would suite us in the draft. He had a Toby Greene vibe about him, found a lot of the ball as a mid/fwd but I’m not sold on him now.

He’s improving and may still break out with some solid midfield time but I’d be wary of paying what the GC will demand.

 

[Yabadoo22]

For everyone suggesting butler to the suns to play under Dimma again, have to remember that after the first premiership in 17, butler fell out of the side and left due for more game time and security, so unsure if that would be the case?

Cupping.

Is cupping actually a thing? Does it actually do anything? I thought it was just wacky hippie shit.

Nah it helps. But you need consistent use for all the benefits.

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Happy New Saints Player Day folks!

 

[BrutThough]

Max wears one as well I think

And Sinclair, Henry, Keeler, Collard. Nas use to wear one but doesnt seem to anymore.

Add Flanders and we might be the comp leaders in earrings.

Placebo.

But all those round marks (bruises actually) must mean something is happening.

Placebo.

But all those round marks (bruises actually) must mean something is happening.

I find it helps a bit loosening everything up and getting some lactic out in the short term after hard training days.

Might be psycho somatic but it’s also usually done as part of a remedial massage

 

[Grav]

Placebo.

At my age I don’t need cupping, a slight bump & the bruises show, which does mean something…. I’m about to bleed

Who needs cupping, just grow old & you get it for free.

 

[stavro#4]

Edmund just said Flanders to St Kilda is going to happen

Placebos are very effective. If you believe that it works it does.

 

[gringo2011]

It seems the best fit.

 

[Sully111]

Feels like it's going to be a good day.

Loving what our club is doing right now.

Edmund just said Flanders to St Kilda is going to happen

When the mafia took him to the Italian restaurant, they told him if he didn't pick the Saints, he'd end up with a horse's head in his bed.....and the rest is history.

 

[TheJackal]

Cupping.

Cupping definitely worked differently in my day

 

[Nutsngum]

Placebos are very effective. If you believe that it works it does.

My partner does acupuncture for pain management and its very effective for it. The needles are doing sweet **** all but it absolutely works well to convince the brain that pain isnt required at that moment. So yes, they can be very effective.

And the exodus continues.
