List Mgmt. 2025 Trade/FA Thread

[Scodog10]

We also saw with Grundy that overpaying a ruckman can be seriously detrimental to your cap, especially if they don’t perform to expectations. For that kind of money TDK would want to be the best ruck in the comp for near on the next decade or it will end in tears. The kid is good, but I doubt he’s ever going to be Max Gawn good.

If he wasn’t at Carlton he’d be a lock for AA in 2025 (they don’t know how to use him) and whilst I don’t think he needs to be that good to justify the money I agree it’s a risk because unlike Gawn he does it with his athleticism Ala Nic Nat who fell off a cliff following his knee injuries.

 

[SchuPie]

The only reason that they’re talking up Butters leaving is that he was very close with Ken. If Port lose Butters and Bergman they will be in St Kilda territory for the next decade, they will have two stars in JHF and Rozee, a bunch of solid players and players that wouldn’t get a game at any other club

Then we’ll take JHF

going, but people need to remember that he is contracted for 2026 and Collingwood is in the premiership window.

So if Collingwood is going to allow a contracted ruck who finished second in last year's best and fairest to walk, they're going to have to know they can get a ruck from somewhere else.

It's not as simple as if Cameron wants to go, he'll go. I still think he'll stay and I do know that Collingwood is trying to extend him and give him the money that he deserves because there is broad acknowledgment from both the club and his management that he's not being paid what he is worth at the moment because he signed a deal when he was the second banana.

'Massive' period as three clubs sweat on likely $2.5m deal

[Magpie Since 1986]

The only way we should trade Cameron to the Eagles is if it is part of a deal that lands us Harley Reid .

 

[Dtennent94]

The only way we should trade Cameron to the Eagles is if it is part of a deal that lands us Harley Reid .

What if it instead unlocked a trade for Rowell or Butters? Or freed up the cap space needed to entice Bont over for free, seeing as he’s an UFA? Those seem like nice outcomes.

 

[Couch Coach]

The only way we should trade Cameron to the Eagles is if it is part of a deal that lands us Harley Reid .

Can Harley ruck?

The only way we should trade DC is if Steene or Smit are ready to step up or we have another first ruck already lined up.

 

[BillyElliott]

Can Harley ruck?

The only way we should trade DC is if Steene or Smit are ready to step up or we have another first ruck already lined up.

Exactly. Not much point having a good midfield if you don't have a ruckman.

Collingwood has told its collection of plus-30 premiership stars it will need at least another month to consider future contracts as they continue to put in brilliant auditions to extend their careers.

seems certain to play on and Elliott has 23.15 in a cracking start to the season.

The juggling act also means as soon as the Pies start contract talks with one of those plus-30s the other players will be keen to resume discussions.

So the club will work through its priorities at list management over the next six weeks before giving more clarity on the futures of those players.

said to be very keen to keep the vice-captain given his cultural impact at the club.

Mihocek is keen to play on after returning against Adelaide from that stomach sprain and as a late starter to the AFL has never secured that bumper deal to set him up for life.

His only priority is re-signing with the Pies, but if the season plays out and it becomes apparent Collingwood wants to transition its list rivals might consider if it can poach one or two of those ageing stars for a year or two.

seems certain to play on and Elliott has 23.15 in a cracking start to the season.

The juggling act also means as soon as the Pies start contract talks with one of those plus-30s the other players will be keen to resume discussions.

So the club will work through its priorities at list management over the next six weeks before giving more clarity on the futures of those players.

said to be very keen to keep the vice-captain given his cultural impact at the club.

Mihocek is keen to play on after returning against Adelaide from that stomach sprain and as a late starter to the AFL has never secured that bumper deal to set him up for life.

His only priority is re-signing with the Pies, but if the season plays out and it becomes apparent Collingwood wants to transition its list rivals might consider if it can poach one or two of those ageing stars for a year or two.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

So he has no clue about our f/s & academy options this year?

McGuane also says hi

Cornes is going to have a complete meltdown when he realises what we have lined up.

 

[Pistol Night]

Cornes is going to have a complete meltdown when he realises what we have lined up.

He despises father/son because Graham now calls him Chads brother to everyone

 

[Rusty Beam]

Can Harley ruck?

The only way we should trade DC is if Steene or Smit are ready to step up or we have another first ruck already lined up.

I’d go get Max Ramsden from the Hawks.

Lots of similarities to when we poached Cameron from the Swans.

 

[MoreMoore]

Yes. But the worst thing about Lambys was ‘The Real Diamond’ show. The music was bad enough, but when he had a break he played Neil Diamond…

Of all my years of going there, I can’t remember picking up once.

Used to share a house with the guy who was Real Diamond
Made an absolute killing out of it and would sell out Crown

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

West Coast giving Jack Hutchinson a contract to the end of 2029 is certainly a choice.

 

[Tista7000]

Harley Reid for Cameron and a f1st

Otherwise a first and a second in exchange for Cameron

Just re-sign Cameron. Much simpler and better for our team.

 

[SchuPie]

Why are our threads being bombarded with trolls lately?

 

[Tista7000]

Just re-sign Cameron. Much simpler and better for our team.

Turning 30, if he wants to leave might as well get something for him, to help the future of team. Who knows maybe Zac McCarthy will develop quickly once we draft him and he can ruck for us.

Wouldn't mind going after Max Ramsden from Hawks.

He's signed until the end of 26 and at his peak.

He's also been in negotiations to extend with us beyond 26.

Doesn't sound like someone wanting to leave. Wouldn't take any notice of what Scott Cummings says.

 

[rdangelo]

Just re-sign Cameron. Much simpler and better for our team.

I love Cameron he's been huge.

But it depends if he wants to go home, if he does then it changes things. Wouldn't be too bad if we win the flag.

Get say pick 10 for him (eg.) and then someone like Riley O'Brien as a free agent. Use 10 for someone else or draft, it's not the end of the world.

Only if Cameron wants to leave. I'd be all over that. The sticking point is that although we gain Harley, we're going to have to get a decent ruckman as well and that won't be easy. As for Harley Reid, we would stupid not to take him as part of the deal. I don't care what anyone says, to me he'll be the second best player in the comp behind Nick.
