2025 List Management

[KSAS]

So interesting with our first pick (9) which is likely to slip back a.few spots. Whether we draft with it, trade down or use it for player trade (KPD hopefully).

[Nico]

That was the problem with Rohan he could never do it enough and I think his best footy game through system, not his ability to read the game - just my opinion of course

He did sustain one of the worst injuries seen in the game. He was lucky he even played footy again. I thought he did a great job to get back on the ground.

[lwjoyner]

Hamling not in our best team. Maybe only better than nobody. Should have let him go into the draft.

[UUaswan]

Serong and JUH is what we need

Curnow and Lever is what we want

[The Big Cat]

Jon Ralph suggests our first rounders this year and next plus Wil Hayward might get the Curnow deal done

That depends on what Gold Coast can offer. They have a better hand of picks than Sydney: picks 6, 13 and 16. They also have a couple of players who are seeking a trade. In theory, they could offer up to three first-rounders and a player (not necessarily to Carlton directly), and get back some later picks in return (35 and 44).

JUH is also linked to the Suns. I have read a suggestion that he could go to the Suns in exchange for a later pick. I expect the Suns will get one of Curnow or JUH. Which player they pursue will depends on what they want to do with their picks and Academy prospects.

Suppose Sydney gives up two first-round picks and Hayward for Curnow. Sydney would have to get Malcolm Rosas Jnr from the Suns as a replacement for Hayward. If Sydney gives up a later pick for Rosas, that pick could end up going to the Bulldogs for JUH. I would not be surprised if a four-way trade involving these clubs went down. Curnow to Sydney, Rosas to Sydney, Hayward and two first-round picks to Carlton, JUH and a second-round or third-round pick to Gold Coast, third-round pick to Western Bulldogs.

No, I really don't want to trade Hayward, but sometimes these deals need to get done. Unless you're Geelong, who last traded away a good player when they traded Kelly to West Coast in 2019. It would be a travesty if Geelong somehow got Curnow when they already have Cameron. How could they even do that deal?

I see that Tom Mitchell is looking for a new home. Should we take him back???? Yes or No?

No

[KSAS]

We have no need for Tom Mitchell, particularly with Taylor Adams having year remaining on his contract. I think Essendon would be his best suitor & can't seem him going to a club in finals contention.

[lwjoyner]

no to tm from me

Essendon have just pushed out Dylan Shiel, who I think is still a more effective player than Mitchell at this stage of his career.

The only club I can imagine who might be interested is West Coast. But even that I doubt.

[Kafka's Ghost]

no to tm from me

Agree. Great in his day, but that sun has set.

I'd take a 2nd rounder pick for JUH over that.

Both risky, both potentially huge upside
JUH is a 1 yr look for a 2nd round pick, if it doesn't work, move on
Curnow is alot of draft capital, a teammate favourite for a guy thats has 3 surgeries in 12 months and is 29. Can see him putting a good year together but he needs to put 3 good years together to justify that outlay.

[longmile]

What’s the thinking of our list management with delisting Francis and fox but resigning hamling? He is the least effective of the lot

They'll just find a way to Cotton On to a deal, I'm sure.

There is no way we will give up two first rounders + a player for Curnow. Absolute madness if we do.
