List Mgmt. 2025 Trade/FA Thread

[Mick F]

I stood next to him recently, if he's small then I'm freakin miniature. He looked easy 192ish.
Can't see him making it though.

It is possible that in areas of real need, eg Howe’s replacement, it requires several players being tried. Hopefully one comes on.

 

[JuniorB]

Hopefully Sydney don't do to us what they did with Sam Murray. Or is Buller some sort of UFA due to coming in off the rookie list?

It would be better for Sydney to do to us what they did with DC.

 

[Pistol Night]

Now that curnow has supposedly set his mind on Geelong as his first preference , it would potentially mean 1 more less competitor in any butters rac

He wont get there. They cant do it surely

 

[Bussie]

Meant playing on small/medium sized forwards.

Meh, I'm still small. I've had my necked fused, went from 166 to 165. Not that noticeable, but it threw my BMI to buggery.

It would at least keep Geelong occupied trying to work out a deal for curnow.

 

[JuniorB]

Sounds good. Really like to see Steene or Smit make a leap next year. DC isnt getting any younger but as Gawn, Goldstein etc have shown ruckman really can play into their 30s and be dominant still. I have faith Westy is going to be a bull for us. Buller and hopefully Howes as good foils. We may still have something up our sleeves too. While Fly is here id say trade a FA we'll continue to be aggressive. This year has proven it was the right call

So we'll have Bull and Buller...

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

So Curnow, Marshall and Worpell want to get to Geelong, FM, there needs to be a salary cap investigation surely....

Don’t get it.
There’s only 3 apostles and the Lorne pier to pub ain’t that exciting.
Surely it’s not the Waterpark or Cadels great bike race

 

[satty]

I know bulldogs are more than happy to throw cash at players, but why would you want to play for a club where the coaches position is subjected to constant discussion.

 

[WanderingDude]

Would they be thinking McStay, Buller (inc ruck support) and West? Membrey to keep them honest. Steene, Howes and Smit developing.

Things were much simpler with no talls. Stupid comments aside our tight list spots may just be tighter now.

Don't forget mcarthy as well.

 

[WanderingDude]

Reading it back my post it came off way more serious than was meant hah.

Never read your old posts. Always move forward, no re-read or re-write. In my case why study my typos and incomplete thoughts. I happily inflict that on others.

McCarthy be quite away from being Big and Strong Enough to play in the Ruck vs Seniors

 

[No SPIN]

The role is the role regardless of how good the bloke playing it is. Elliott was unlucky to not be All Australian this year - there'd be concern of him leaving regardless.

People are more relaxed with Brodie possibly leaving because West is in the wings. Thats exactly what would occur if we had a true Elliot type in the wings - which Shooter is not.

That explains the vast difference in concerns with Jamie leaving compared to Brodie.

I disagree. I think it's that Jamie is a star of the comp and Brodie is a battling workhorse who many think is struggling.

 

[danielnajdek]

Did Geelong build a few more farms?

Brodie is a war horse and will prove decisive on Saturday

 

[TradeDraft]

Be Great IF he does play like Charlie Dixon

 

[Roverjg]

Swans won’t Trade Him

He was mentioned last week as one of several players offered up as part of a trade for Curnow. Haven't heard anything since.

 

[legendstatus]

Let’s hope Checkers farewell involves a flag. Not fussed at all if he goes, good on him

The back up is there. WEST

 

[Go Woods]

F*** Geelong. C***s.

How sweet would it be if we both make it through to the GF and we topple them..

 

[mumblingpie]

I thought we’d be chasing Flanders

 

[TradeDraft]

I thought we’d be chasing Flanders

Don't have the Currency to get him

 

[JuniorB]

I'd sooner be chasing flounders.
Very tasty.

AFL just completed one. Apparently they threatened to fine the Cats for being so far below 95% of the salary cap. So the Cats will take the above 3 will this year and Butters next.

I believe they plan on annexing the otway region and colac region to be able to supply more land to their players.
