List Mgmt. 2025 List Management discussion

I’ve always wondered what 2009 would’ve look like if Ben Cousins had picked us over Richmond.

He was cooked,

 

[Minga]

ITK’s have gone very quiet. Not even a murmur. Somethings changed from a few weeks back I think. I think Nas wants to get home to Port and his team are giving them time to come up with a solution to compensate us appropriately. Hope I’m wrong.

Or, they’ve said their piece, nothing substantial has since happened and we just need to be patient.

Hopefully it’s the latter.

 

[SainterinSydney]

Guys, take a break tonight. Don't get worked up other Nas. I've seen nothing of substance in media or from an ITK saying he is leaving. The only leaks and ITK (even from that C4 bloke) is that he is signing for 2 years.

Until we hear or see otherwise, assume that.

Nah he’s gone, cos…

This weekend's all about the

 

[Pardon me]

Might be something, probably was nothing.
Last night when Pittonet had that goal from 50 odd and the whole team got around him I noticed tdk kinda go in and then once he moved away immediately lost his grin and no one really celebrated with him.
If there wasn’t all the talk surrounding him I wouldn’t even have noticed.
Probably reading way too much into it but it was interesting body language.

Talking about highly paid players the Bombers have some really over priced players just look at McKay who joined them - he has hardly paid his way and they have a heap of other so called stars who have serious doubts on there career due to injury issues.
From head knocks to Achilles injury's.

I can't stand Essendon, but they are in the same situation as us, continually stuck in the mid table while Gold Coast and others get multiple free players unavailable to them.
They have tried buying players to be competitive due to their big 4 profile and that hadn't worked.
If one of the avenues to players is taken away ( they tried trading, us and North have tried drafting because other clubs players only want to go to 'bigger' clubs) that club will just be forever in no man's land.
This is what the AFL want, a confected competition where fake teams get all the players so they can pretend the game is growing in the rugby states while the heartland is ignored.
An absolute joke.

 

[Sainter88]

what does 97 look like if he didn't leave?

At the very least he would’ve probably knocked out Jarman

 

[Verdun66]

I have been relatively untroubled by the NAS situation. But maybe his great form and everyone else being nervous Nellie’s has me suddenly a bit worried. Port just doesn’t have enough compensation.

If he did leave it would be nothing we have done to him. Would be totally family oriented. What a dilemma.

 

[Jesuswasacarpenter]

Could Lance replace Nas on the HBF and Naz goes Mid / HF?

Could Lance replace Nas on the HBF and Naz goes Mid / HF?

We already have plenty of half backs; Hastie LOC Arie Travaglia

No need to convert another

 

[botts]

Could Lance replace Nas on the HBF and Naz goes Mid / HF?

Zero chance.

 

[Joffaboy]

Lazer would have done that if he hadn't done his knee last H&A game v Port.

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

I think ross has already pigeoned lance in for ruck once rowan leaves, good idea tho

 

[StFly]

Lazer would have done that if he hadn't done his knee last H&A game v Port.

Even on one leg, could have just king hit Jarman and used the good leg to boot Ellen. Lazar would have gone down a hero on that stretcher and what lifetime ban.

 

[L_W_P]

Christ guys, is it really worth getting so worked up over something we have no control over, if Nas goes the world doesn't end, it's just a game.
Plugger left and we survived, if it happens that he leaves we will get decent compensation ( I hope )

If we apply this logic across the board then we might as well shut the site down...

Would love to know the sort of money we have been offering NWM. If the 1.7 number is correct for TDK then surely Nas is entitled to ask for the same, if not more.

[Teflon]

Why? they might want to see how everything pans out he might win the B&F or poll well in the Brownlow which might add $$$ to a contract he's year isn't over awards mean $$$ to players & managers.

Very close to what’s occurring…

 

[Tommy Wigs]

for us yes,every year we have some kind of tension going on,just to hold our own,never mind get someone elses,but imagine being a pies fan

noone wants out except semi regular subs like ollie henry
15-16 games at the G,19 in melbourne
shall we do gather round and 3 other interstate trips honey?,maybe we give brisbane a miss this year,ok book those others at your leisure
no geelong again?thats ok we will spend a day down there in the summer
how many father sons academy kids we got coming through this year?any of them the next naicos?
start working on those finals tickets
how many marquee games and friday nights we got this year?anzac and big freeze,cool & 7 friday nights,not bad
how many stars from other clubs want to join us this year?5?6?lets take our time picking the right fit
squeeze in my visit to the dentist in our bye round,its high time i got some teeth
now lets enjoy a summer of cricket without worry

Brilliant

 

[Tommy Wigs]

If Marshall goes to Geelong we might get Mitch Knevitt in the trade.

Throw Jed Bews in and they can have Steele too

 

[jwint43]

The question has to be asked why do these senior players want out of the club? I understand thats sometimes the nature of the business, but how can that provide a good environment for these kids we are bringing through. The top teams never seem to lose senior players unless they want them out. Surely at our point in our rebuild we need Marshall & Steele with their experienced heads.

I would have no problem with Collard moving back to WA, I still think its going to hit of miss if he makes it.

Steele and Marshall have played 2 finals in their entire career, and one was in 2020 infront of like 10,000 people in QLD. The top teams don't lose senior players because they are contending and playing in big games.

I don't begrudge either of them going after success in the last few years of their careers, they don't owe us anything. We've been too good to bottom out and not good enough to truly contend for Steele's entire time here, can you blame him for wanting to try and win a flag? From a team list perspective, Roma out for a draft pick + TDK in is a net positive IMO, and Steele is no longer the

Merrett and Cripps both way better players but similar situation. I don't think any Essendon/Carlton fan would be upset if they both moved on at the end of this year, they both gave their clubs every single chance to build a contender and it didn't work out.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Pick slide territory for WCE.
Out: P2 (Compo for Allen).
In: P5, Collard.

Hold discussions about who we're taking and leaving in the draft.

Out of interest, who would you take at 2?

 

[jwint43]

When has a player ever announced mid-season that they are leaving at the end of that season?

It's something that the NRL does completely different to us. From my understanding, a player can sign a FA contract 12 months out and still play for their current club, and everyone knows it.

It would be a massive cultural shift for the AFL because we are still romantic about player loyalty, but it would save these awkward situations like TDK where everyone knows he's leaving and he has to pretend he's not.
