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

Ollie Florent an option? I've always rated him and I've brought up his name a few times over the years.

We don't have much to offer in the way of picks. Steele and Butler may gain us something to ontrade.

 

[austinnn]

Imagine if it’s butters…

This is how much of a Saints nuffie I am:

I am not interested in us acquiring Butters. There, I said it. I would rather give the players we have a chance to become as good as or better than Butters. Don't want him, certainly not at the cost.

If he comes I won't complain but I will not invest one iota of emotion hoping Gubby will reel him in.

 

[austinnn]

Me

 

[yeahfells]

They can have two firsts and Pou as far as I’m concerned

Respectfully disagree

 

[The_Steadier]

They can have two firsts and Pou as far as I’m concerned

Disrespectfully disagree

 

[bakes10]

Yeh nah

 

[tristenlvm]

Liam O'Connell I'm glad we're backing over Leek Aleer, he's GOT MUNGREL, and I think will surprise a few next year alongside our established backs if given the chance, maybe pushed up the wing some more

 

[phantom13]

Butters has zero interest in us so I’d rather we don’t bother even entertaining what hypotheticals there are for him.

Let him go to ****ing essendon.

 

[Geezington]

Sounds like there is from your end

Was taking after your name proper swampy there

 

[Geezington]

I don't get it

Pencil case is a dogs supporter who demanded our first pick for Jack macrae and said buku khamis had Charlie Curnow in his back pocket when Charles kicked 3 goals 7 proper ****

Garcia is better than Butters at the same age.

So I was gonna make a "We should have a crack at Charlie Curnow

swap.

So I went to look at the stats and uhh... Max actually stacks up. As frustrating as we all feel with his injuries, development, role etc He's actually kicking some serious ass so far.

Max = Left
Charlie = Right

Spoiler: Stats

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Appreciate the sentiment, and there's no way it happens, but if you can get Butters, you get Butters. Top five player in the comp for mine

 

[L_W_P]

We don't have much to offer in the way of picks. Steele and Butler may gain us something to ontrade.

If he's delisted maybe.

I wouldn't be paying much in a trade.

Would prefer to pump games into Trav, LOC and Box.

 

[Coconut_twirl]

Soldo?!

There is our mystery player.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Imagine if it’s butters…

 

[Diehard Saint]

que the same outrage that we got with Steele

Must have missed all that empathy being tossed around by the media and other teams for this poor guy on a 4 year contract just being dumped in order to get a better player.

Hope he tells them to get stuffed.

 

[Saintpav]

Swans should market a new sweet scent:

Florent and Rowbottom.

A floral and rotten bottom that would smell like shit.

 

[Captain Paddy]

Yeh nah

Pou shown nothing outside of a 6 week purple patch in between injuries and real zero games.

Butters would give 2 top 10 mids/players in the game

 

[Leap of Faith]

Pou shown nothing. Yeah nah.

No more circle jerks for you, Paddy!

I remember my old man wanting to trade out a certain Goddard in his early days. Thank God we didn't!

Hugh was a potato.

He showed a fair bit in his first year playing forward.
I’m looking forward to the negative Nancy’s being made to look stupid.

Fair enough, but they wont be delisting someone that they signed to a 5 year contract last year.

He's a good example of two things, us rating our own much higher than we should and two, not really noticing gun Vic kids outside of Victoria.

Cox will drop the ball on him, in fact all 3 Swans boys would walk into our team tomorrow.

Anyway, they won't be in Saints colours I just rate them that's all.

Got a long, long, long, long, long way to go to get to Butters level
