List Mgmt. 2025 Trade/FA Thread

[Bianconeri]

Expect 10.

Dean, Macrae, AJ, Markov there's an easy 4

A few of the older guys will retire, the odd trade request.

Why are people so keen to keep the turnover number low just to retain players who won't make it? Macrae ain't gonna make it - I rather a kid and give him a go to another season of Macrae in the VFL

People are keen to keep the number low because like 2023 this list looks capable of a premiership and people don’t want to cut anyone who can contribute to that. Plus with the increased squad rotation this season people are seeing the value of keeping depth.

Out of the 4 easy delists you named I could make the case for three of them to stay.

Which older guys will retire? We’ve been saying older guys will retire since Fly got in but not a single one of the has. Our only retiree under Fly is Murphy and that was due to concussion not to age.

Currently the only older guy outside our best 22 is Mitchell but he’s still got the second half of the season to force his way back. Maybe Cox and WHE aren’t either but they’re always first in when a spot opens up.

There will be trade candidate/s but there’s no one obvious to put up as trade bait.

Since Fly came in aside from the first season we’ve also been much stingier when it comes to the draft. Before we used to draft 4-5 players are year and turn them over after their first contract ran out if they weren’t good enough. Now we draft around 2-3 each year but sign them up until after their first contract finished before they’ve even played a game.

People are putting up low turnover numbers because the number of obvious delist/retire candidates are low. The rest is speculation and naturally people are conservative when it comes to speculation.

10 may not be an unreasonable number, but it hard to see it at this point and time.

 

[TradeDraft]

On gettable, Cal said he expects Maynard will stay now on a 4 year deal.

Also expects movement on the dogs and the bont contract in the next week. As if anyone ever really thought he would leave lol

That all media is saying now they expect Maynard to Re-Sign

How reliable is scott Cummings? Apparantely said on SEN WA that he has heard Eagles have almost locked in DC..

Surely not.

Locked DC into 2027? he is contracted next year and I doubt we'd consider a trade unless we got a top tier ruckman in return

Why would he go to that basket case they are going to be no good for years.

They’d be coughing up something decent that’s for sure.

Ralphy will be devastated. Watch him over the next 5 months attempt to talk up Tommy and our NGA’s all in to the top 10 of the draft and tell us we’ll need to trade our next two first rounders in just to match bids.

Currently one of the prime ruckman in the league but would we consider packaging DC for Reid and picks/players?

Would want the Oscar Allen compo pick 2 at a minimum. They can chuck in Chesser as the steak knives

If we trade him at all we have to get maximum value. delusional Eagles fans would say we have to cop peanuts

 

[Chrispiesssss]

I mean if DC is willing to go from biggest club & top of the table team to West Coast.

I hope they have a top 10 pick to handover.

 

[Bianconeri]

We’re all over Ben King says Twomey

Did he mention how we could get that deal done?

 

[gouki88]

Did he mention how we could get that deal done?

It was in the context of free agency next year

"Yeah was thinking this.
Ryan (if he wants out) + BWill (value is increasing with current form.

For

Cameron and Ed Allan
Some steak knives picks thrown in here and there to level it all out"

 

[Jen2310]

Its in regards to next year, when he is a FA.

Almost as good as the 2nd, 3rd (for cameron and our third) option lol

The Oscar Allen compo will be pick 2

Trade that or he plays out his contract

By the way - hard to believe the eagles are targeting 29 yo’s in their parlous state

With Kane humping his leg whilst saying it

Not very reliable. Has come up with some howlers over the years

 

[nahnah]

Wouldn't mind Harely Reid as a young developing prospect

Honestly love keep him but i don't care as long as we can fleece the Eagles.

Moyle should be the target like Witts was with us he just needs the number 1 ruck role.

 

[sideswipe]

"I've got mail", "almost locked away" - that's just pub talk.

 

[BigVic]

If he leaves, we need to be compensated. This will be worse than losing Grundy to Sydney. Cameron is in career-best form and won a premiership in 2023. First round and a future first just for the melts out west

 

[nahnah]

I dont believe it, makes very little sense for DC and even less sense for us. Put it in the Maynard category of extremely unlikely

Hahahah, they are having a laugh aren’t they
