2025 List Management Discussion - Part 5

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
Trade Period: Monday, October 6th - Wednesday, October 15th

I feel like it went unspoken just how much Macrae's form plummeted in the second half of this year. Pretty concerning. I'd rather hold onto Steele. Being a captain for a club like ours should mean something.

Injured. Got a punctured lung and was not as effective. When fit he was terrific

 

[SainterinSydney]

God this is boring.

Western Bulldogs statement on Jamarra Ugle-Hagan’s trade to Gold Coast:
‘Today’s trade means the Bulldogs’ contractual relationship with Ugle-Hagan ends and no ongoing obligations exist.’

GodDAMN thats a club with a fair bit of character, imagine saying that to a bloke drafted with the first pick of the national draft.

I know he's been an albatross for "Western", but shit how about some class?

Bevo personally wrote up that statement lol

Wrong side of 31 for that to be the thing we bet on

 

[austinnn]

Hate to say it but Carltoon have actually done alright this trade period, mostly thanks to us.

Do you think St Kilda get a "thank you" from the Blues nuffies here though?

 

[phantom13]

The juh selection will rival the Paddy selection in the annals of ****ed up first pick selections.

If only he actually cost them anything. ****ing academy shit

"he's now a Sun, in a very real, and legally binding sense"

 

[Marlo]

God damn I hope we still have Marshall and Steele at the bell

We're a better club if we keep both

He’s not a guy that relies on any physical attribute at all and has been incredibly durable throughout his career.

 

[JG22]

Reckon Steele should stay and fight for his spot, complete his arc back to an excellent role player and be apart of this next finals push.

No dramas if he leaves, but there’s a lot more glory in staying, as a former captain. I remember Geary fondly due to his final few seasons as a stalwart and guiding the team to a finals victory.

Yeah have to agree with that, even if he ends up playing some vfl with us, his best result at the dees is quite meaningless.

Can live with Steele going (as tough as it is), but keep Ro unless amazing deal.

Nah, the way he’s treated that club they would be throwing a ****ing party he’s gone. Bevo and the dogs have a lot of issues to answer for but being campaignery to JUH ain’t one of them

After getting injured v west coast. He averaged the below for the rest of the year and that includes a game as a sub.

22 disposals
5.4 tackles
1 rebound 50
3 inside 50
5.1 clearances

Can we now say ' fancy taking JUH before Thilthorpe' the way they have crapped on about Billings and Bont for a decade?

 

[Anythings_sipposible]

It seems like Sydney might be moving 11 on? Maybe Carlton prefer a future 1st. Would we do Ro to Geelong for their F1, that to Sydney for 11?

After a jumper full of broken ribs & a collapsed lung.

 

[phantom13]

You know who probably should be getting some scrutiny.

Brisbane, demanding a first for Cal Ah Chee seems wild to me

 

[Saintpav]

Bevo personally wrote up that statement lol

Yep. Straight cut and paste from slam he gave Tom Morris

 

[Marlo]

Steele is more a fabric and good omens thing

I get that, but publicly saying that is churlish and unnecessary. Everybody knows the score, no need to be ungentlemanly

I don’t think any of that is childish, especially when we saw Petroro and Aleers manager.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Who is the Saint's guy walking passed Leppitsch in hallway?

Harry Potter

 

[SainterinSydney]

Harry Potter

And...what is his role lol?

 

[Joffaboy]

Wrong side of 31 for that to be the thing we bet on

Well I trust the coach overruling your opinion. Second behind NAZ in Brownlow votes, top ten B&F
