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.

To the few who welcomed me.
Doesn’t sound as if Zonesy was too happy at the Saints.

Don't know if I'd go that far, but it does seem a particular choice of words. It would be sad to think that he reflects bitterly about the St Kilda family, but I guess he wasn't that popular with the fanbase. Seems like he was talking about within the club which is a shame.

I always had a lot of time for him, felt he was taken for granted, lobbied heavily for him to be given the vfl captaincy, but I guess its not meant to be.

Good luck with the following chapters, Zac! You'll always be Saints family to me at least.

Edit: "Thank you to St Kilda for welcoming me home, to the club I grew up barracking for, and to the few people who made it feel like family from the moment I walked in."

Seems like he could be saying there were a few special ones at the club who got around him early to help him settle in, that's all.
