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

[ronnysnodgrass]

Is it possible we get an f2 for Steele and then that goes back to Geelong with marshall for this year and next years first?

 

[dudeintheswamp]

With his hand or ....

???

 

[SainterinSydney]

So if they are taking all of Steele's salary, you'd imagine a 3rd coming to us? Hopefully at least a F2.

 

[Joffaboy]

We are having a party at my place and we started a drinking game.
A shot every time Purple says Geelong. Half an hour in and we are all pissed blind.

 

[TheNewEnsign]

Is it possible we get an f2 for Steele and then that goes back to Geelong with marshall for this year and next years first?

Wouldn't mind that, could we give Geelong's pick (one of the two) to Hawthorn for Cam Mac and then they can try and use that in the package for Merrett?

Clarry out Steele in is actually quite good business for the Dees I think. We owe them anyway for letting us keep NAS.

 

[Sainter93]

Cal just said the dogs had a go at a couple of other backs and still got rejected

and gws will melt for getting rid of TWO seconds LOL

 

[Yawkey way]

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

If you’re having a quite beer check they haven’t been tampered with.

They pinched Billings off us now moose and Jack, does that sound like a club going places ?.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Seems like justice for all of the freebies they received as the scales begin to balance.

Can you imagine what we would have copped if that went down on our watch. Kulchaaa

, two picks in the 70s for JUH and pick 12

 

[Bill Crouse]

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

Can someone remind me what was said?

 

[JG22]

Steelo one is bloody emotional. I think it’s probably not a bad result for the club if he goes, but it will feel weird.

 

[St Neil]

That Sam Power, what a mover and shaker

He’s elite at being unimpressive.

 

[Rollee]

Is it possible we get an f2 for Steele and then that goes back to Geelong with marshall for this year and next years first?

Why are we wanting picks for marshall. Him leaving for picks makes us weaker in the short term with picks being speculative. Marshall should only be traded for ready made best 22 players or he does not get traded.

 

[Seattle Mariners]

Is Steele a salary dump or is he genuinely no longer a part of St Kilda’s best 23?

Am I getting peak 2021 Steele?

 

[Joffaboy]

Lol, Dogs bring in 14, Connor Budarick, two picks in the 70s for JUH and pick 12

And purple says they have had a good trade period. My God he is an f-wit

 

[Yawkey way]

I just couldn’t get the Budarick trade out of my head, it’s like an arranged marriage.

Budarick is 175cm in heals and he’s from the GC. I kept thinking about bevo saying you’re shorter than I thought and Budarick saying where are we ? Is this where we train and tearing up.

 

[SainterinSydney]

Steelo one is bloody emotional. I think it’s probably not a bad result for the club if he goes, but it will feel weird.

If he goes to Melbourne, it doesn't make them a rival/contender. Would rather them.

I agree, mate, feels crap, but I think in long run it frees up cap for us to go even more hard next year and gives our young midfield brigade minutes.

 

[Sully111]

I’m fine to lose Steele

 

[Mowman]

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

Sound confident, remember when that ******** Brianspeaking said we were getting Kelly ?

 

[Marlo]

That's a flipping pissa mate
