2025 List Management

[dejavoodoo44]

Draft tracker now has us holding picks 35 and 43. Could be problematic.

So now we are hmmmmm

35
43
55
66

And we match GWS bid on Kyle at 14, after they moved up. What a rise, but not surprising for me. It potentially means the Swans sacrifice one of the other Academy kids, but I personally think he was worth it. His upside is enormous.

Aaaaaaaaand, if we do let one go, it proves the system as it’s designed work in yielding talent to other clubs, which is why the dickheads at AFL House shouldn’t change it further.

Only 18months playing AFL

Yes agree Kyle is one out of the box

could be a gun hence us saying yep at pick 14

If we pass on anyone, pass on King. Footy IQ rules.

[dejavoodoo44]

With the Suns matching the two Eagles bids, we now have 35, 41 and 53.

No! we have let the poodles have Carmichael

[dejavoodoo44]

Carmichael off to the Bulldogs. Grrr! Hope he gets homesick really quickly.

[Auntie.Gerald]

We might have enough in our squad to cover Carmichaels role?

and or we really want a couple others in the draft that we have not guessed as yet ?

I would have taken Carmichael before King, but wouldn’t have taken Carmichael at 21. He’s a 35 pick at best. So I’m ok with it.

But yes, let’s hope he hates that @@@@ty cold city and learns their “handballing” tricks in the meantime.

Serong all over again ! Future leader, seriously the recruiting at this club

We would have had to go into a small deficit to match and then just had a pick at the end of the draft. Maybe we think our 2026 draft is already compromised enough, maybe we strongly believe that King is worth the punt, or maybe we like one or two players later in the draft?

[KSAS]

SEN has described Bulldogs as stealing Carmichael from us.

Time will whether we've made the right decision, but it does sends message to clubs we won't always match overs. The bids on Kyle & Carmichael have come earlier than exxpected, which we'll keep in the memory bank for the future.

We may end up doing a live pick depending on where bid for King lands and potentisl sliders.

[Nico]

I know there is some disagreement on King, but maybe we see King as more versatile and we already have options down back.eg. we traded for Serong. We clearly rate Kyle ahead of Carmichael.

[Ludwig]

I always wanted to have an Academy player that we liked drafted at another club, just to see how the go home factor might play out if it were coming in our direction. So I'm not too bothered by Carmichael not coming to the Swan. We have plenty of coverage for that type of player anyway. We delisted Caleb Mitchel this year, who was playing well and has many of the same attributes as Carmichael. Perhaps that cut was made in anticipation of picking up Carmichael, but that more likely to be a bit of a stretch.
