List Mgmt. 2025 List Management Discussion - Part V

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.

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

Yeah will end up with Gubby slapping Mackie in the face.

 

[Yawkey way]

Future 2nd for Simpkin offered by Collingwood. Likely rejected. --twomey

Looks like I was right, so who made up the 2 first round pick story, not often stooged the pies.

 

[g_TRAIN]

Jeez Mackie's grin is one of a man who eats a lot of shit.

 

[Ekomaira]

 

[geelong sajnt]

Is purple paid by the times he mentions Marshall to Geelong.... maybe a drinking game?

 

[nikkig98]

Andrew Mackie can ramp up talks as much he likes, just wont be doing them with Gubby or SOS

 

[AFaiL]

Watch the price of gear escalate on the Goldie !!

not unless hes banked some of the 800k he got this year cos 200k wont get him far

 

[SainterinSydney]

If that is true, I think Steele is leaving.

 

[The_Steadier]

Lol, Bombers covered the camera for their room. I guess top secret stuff being dealt with.

 

[kick it lace out]

What will make me violently ill is that IF Geelong happen to land Marshall, the media fanboys running with "Oh the Cats have done it again, blah, blah, blah"

 

[Banger9798]

Yeah will end up with Gubby slapping Mackie in the face.

I actually had a vision of Gubby belting Barrett in the interview afterwards. Happy to start the GoFundme to pay the fine.

 

[Joffaboy]

THE EXODUS, THE EXODUS

 

[Joffaboy]

If that is true, I think Steele is leaving.

Yes, Saints want him gone.
My preference would be Marshall gone, Steele stays, but it is what it is.

 

[OxSaint]

If that is true, I think Steele is leaving.

I am really on the fence with Steele.

I think we missed a great opportunity to test his ability forward through the second half of the season. As a mid there is no need for both he and McRae anymore.

 

[Yawkey way]

F***ing Dillon and his mullet has turned up.

I know, get a hair cut, have a shave and buy a decent suit.

 

[PoppedCorn]

i reckon shit stems back to those comments that were heard on the hot mic about steele by rosco

 

[phantom13]

If were paying anything id be asking for a decent pick.

If they take his whole salary we can likely slip it back.

 

[L_W_P]

Yeah will end up with Gubby slapping Mackie in the face.

With his hand or ....

???

 

[Yawkey way]

I hope he stays, remember the cho Jack and just say no.

 

[Miha]

Steele garnnnn

 

[AaronSCHQ]

This thread, collectively, is the third dude just wandering behind SOS and Gubby.

 

[kyrgios]

 

[Mr Platinum]

With his hand or ....

???

Walsh will be at the Saints this time next year, so if Jack moves so be it.

 

[L_W_P]

If that is true, I think Steele is leaving.

Richo rates him way more than Ross ever will.

He will be the Dees #1 inside mid while their kids develop and you know what, good for him. He deserves to be playing at the elite level.

He was a star in a very dark time for our team. That final round game against GWS back in the COVID era is still in my brain.

It hasn't happened yet but I hope Jack knows that we ****ing love him.

 

[beside the seaside]

I could see Melbourne being decent next year. Not a bad move for Steele. I think they'll be pushing for finals.
