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

Did anyone else notice TDK sitting in front of Dan Butler's spot in the change rooms? Butler to Suns confirmed!

TDKs body language is saying Butlers gone?

 

[SainterinSydney]

There are more Carlton supporters in the Marshall general thread than Geelong. They are so pathetic--just proves they are saltier than the Pacific Ocean.

 

[Joffaboy]

Who would have thought wd would all be so sanguine about trading out both Marshall and Steele?
This is like a Stalinist smashing of the status quo.

A few salty pugs as well.

• JSOS and TDK officially become Saints
• Last night Windy took Flanders to La Porchetta where had a succulent Italian dish
• Coffee merchants around town are making a mint with all of the meetings going on
• Sam Flanders wants to wait a few days to do a medical as he's currently experiencing an irregular heartbeat thanks to 15 macchiatos in the past 24 hours
• On Flanders, he's had to fly back to the Goldy as the Suns have cleared out his locker and its currently strewn all over their front lawn.
• Humphrey isn't on the table and hasn't spoken to anyone, was then photographed passing a couple of wandering Melbourne officials whilst taking a brisk morning walk
• Brand Petracca is moving in with Warrick Capper. Planning to release a new tiktok of him making Marinara pasta just like his Nonna used to make.
• Rowan Marshall excited that he's turning 30 this November. His time on the waiting list for the GMHBA Aged Care Centre is nearly up so he hopes to move in via trade
• Jack Steele no longer captain, he can leave, but he can also stay, or leave if he wants to leave, we'll help him pack his bags, but he can stay if he wants.

Well, I think I've covered most of the news from today.

This is some quality work.

RoMa the GOAT & future 3rd rounder for -> picks 18 and Geelong's 2025 1st round pick


Pick 7 (1,644 points), pick 18 (985 points) & Butler for -> Flanders & pick 14 (1,141 points).


From a points perspective, that's about a 1,450 upgrade or equivalent of pick 9 and Butler for Flanders.


Look at moving the Geelong future first to Hawthorn for CMac as part of what will have to be a massive price for Merrett.


OUT

RoMa
Butler
Pick 7
Future 3rd



IN

Flanders
CMac
Pick 14 (Greeves, Robey, Mini Pou)




RoMa getting pushed out by TDK (freebie), Butler likely getting pushed out by Collard/Liam Ryan

. Have I done it? Am I the list manager now..???

 

[Anythings_sipposible]

I'd say they're unhinged

There are more Carlton supporters in the Marshall general thread than Geelong. They are so pathetic--just proves they are saltier than the Pacific Ocean.

One guy is full on losing it. He seems genuinely incensed

 

[Hayes4PM]

Off to the cattery?

Trade week hasn’t even started and he’s still contracted.

Geelong need to come to the party if that’s the case.

Bro that's NOTHING for 7AFL. Posted a quote from Christian Petracca earlier today and accredited it to "Future Gold Coast Sun Christian Petracca". It's click bait for reactions.

 

[Jayman15]

stavro#4 I like how you implied Geelong would be paying a ‘fair’ price (first & second rounder) for Ro on the Cats board. They are the most entitled and arrogant supporters around… saying you will accept Cats first round pick and that’s it.

Cats fans can GGF… most of Ro’s salary has been front loaded, his current coach is against him leaving and he is acting Head of Footy plus he has a strong personal relationship with Chris Scott

… if Ro leaves it ain’t for a packet of chips and on Cats terms

Will assume they’ll be made to pony up to cover the salary we’ve already paid, or get the card to contribute plenty of salary to one of our players… unless one of their players comes alongs in a trade with not much $$$

just took a look,check out that carlton idiots posts to likes ratio compared to everyone else on that last page of the marshall thread,definate troll,though one of our own has a worse ratio,but he posts here often and seems ok

Do you reckon he's a troll? I thought he was just an angry man?

 

[sammm]

Ro has nominated a club.

Prepare to be disappointed with whatever deal we get for him.

That's footy.

Ro is contracted for the next 2 seasons. Geelong will need to satisfy the Saints or if not Ro will be back in preseason

 

[SainterinSydney]

The Marshall thread is unhinged. There is a 10 year old Blues fan having a psychotic episode and of course a Doggie has to join in with some salty turds on the carpet.

 

[jimmytigs]

Do you reckon he's a troll? I thought he was just an angry man?

just had another look,another carlton poster just messaged on page 51,eerily similar post to like ratio as the other clown,i mean 20,000 odd less,joined 2 years later,but both running almost equal posts to likes,while others are double likes,some 4 to 1,our tony 19 to 1,tipping could be same guy

 

[_Maximus_12]

Steele more than likely to stay and fight for his career with us

 

[Riewoldt]

Lol, since the Marshall trade request I've only had texts / messages from Carlton fans I know. Quite telling

 

[heynow85]

Did anyone else notice TDK sitting in front of Dan Butler's spot in the change rooms? Butler to Suns confirmed!

Silvagni did the same

Pretty boring trolling if true

 

[ronnysnodgrass]

Sorry I’m a little lost right now, are we saints fans or a fan of a specific player…. Asking for me.

(IE, love you, did great things, if you need to move somewhere else for work reasons, then all good, but I only care about the relative value of our compensation).

 

[SG34]

That list vs North's current list on paper, yet we posted more wins , hilarious

Blows my mind that we managed to win 6 or whatever it was games.

So I am not giving those experienced guys like Farren Ray, Schiender, Gilbert, Dempster, Armo, and Jack Steven their due. EDIT : and Richo!

And lest we forget, we had only won five games by Round 19 this year!!!

 

[austinnn]

I thought there was an Exodus?

Ok, clearly there's no exodus. This has become a bit of a tired meme now, like the one about low-scoring games being Ross Lyon's fault and so on.
 
We don't have to constantly repeat this stuff, do we? It's not funny any more.

I dunno, im still finding it quite hilarious...same as the body language

Missed that, poor Jack Carroll
