List Mgmt. 2025 List Management Discussion - Part IV

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

Has anyone ever seen Gringo and Grant Thomas in the same room before?

I am related to Sam Newman though.

 

[gringo2011]

Also had a good chat to a lovely lady who is related to Caro Wilson through marriage.

Reckons she's one of the most genuine, kindest and thoughtful people she's ever met.

Got a tough hardened exterior but she's one of the kindest people she knows.

Told me some stories and no reason not to believe her.

Hanging out in the queue waiting to get in to the MCC for 2 hours definitely gets people talking.

She let me go ahead of her at the supermarket because I had less stuff. Liked her a lot more ever since.

I always thought you were FOS

Had a good chat to a bloke from Inverloch this afternoon about Sam Flanders. He's had a good chat to him recently.

Reckons he'll simply go to the club who offers him the most money and the longest contract.

Reckons he was promised midfield time when he signed Suns contract and is dirty they didn't play him there.

Also Sam thinks he'll fully recover with his back but the rumours of it being cactus this year are 100% true. Words were, he's a tough farm boy, country lad he will be fine. Wants cash and security though, back is a consideration of his.

Again, I'll reiterate, doesn't care where he goes, it will just be to the club who offers the biggest contract.

Did he actually use the phrase "can go any club"?

 

[Falchoon]

Someone posted a tweet that the dogs arent considering him (Bevo being the genius he is would rather stick with the status quo than take a risk).

I suspect theyll pursue Wilkie til its done or dead THEN maybe consider May, at least for them i doubt May has too many suitors.

North should be all over May, Port too, Essendon should.

Legit she did the exact same thing with me, haha.

 

[Saints43]

Spends all her non working hours around checkouts trying to rehabilitate her reputation by waving other customers through.
It's working by the looks.

 

[Armoooo]

Armoo has looked stupid before. In similar fashion.

Between here and Saintsational, I have never once claimed to have any inside information. Almost 20 years track record.

She's got a mortal fear of receipts

 

[Joffaboy]

Well the new thread has started in a most unusual way.

 

[Vacuous Space]

It sounds like Caro doesn't want any of us to see what she's buying.

 

[Moorabbin Ghost]

We are prepared to trade Marshall, but only on our terms. All media and fan chat about what pick we might like, I’m told it’s a player that we’ll ask for. Very interesting.

[Saintos The ITK]

SDK or better yet Reece Stanley

 

[Red White Black]

which player you think?

Straight swap with Chris Scott

 

[Joffaboy]

which player you think?

I would take Guthrie only if he grew his hair and beard back and looked like Tim Minchin again.

 

[Jade Buddha]

Only position of need we are still looking at is midfield.

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]
