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

Stocker - Howard - Tauru
Sinclair - Silvagni - Wilkie

And for that 7th defender rotation there's a choice of Clark, LOC or Hastie.
We not gonna be able to replace Jimmy since there really was only 1 of him.
Moving on, we have a pretty reasonable group to choose from.

Sounds like Carrol is building a strong case for a half back role

Watch this space.

Did he have a lot of injuries last year? He showed a bit in a couple of games and had some decent VFL form. Will keep an eye on him.

Ahh yes, l forget about him.

Multiple soft tissue issues. Never got an extended run at it.

That back 6 is solid and Howard can take the really tall forwards a little better, but just the lack of speed is concerning as in running it out of the back half. Not sure what or who the answer is if we keep NAS in the midfield. This is why i hope Hastie comes on.

I don't watch the VFL but the few times I saw him I really liked that Carroll looked before he kicked, and then kicked it well.
Probably needed to get a few more of them but that's what half back is for I suppose.

So good to see most players getting a clean run at it so far. A good clean pre-season is probably more important than anything to the success of the season.

Carroll hasn't missed a session so far and looking very good to this point..

Carroll instead of Tauru fixes that problem

In an ideal world Hastie comes in and Stocker is also pushed out by one of the others. Problem we have is we now lack elite kicks in the back half and none of our kids are much chop in that dpt.

Sincs is a pretty elite kick I would've thought
