2026 List Management

[KSAS]

I think we'll calli out Armatey's bluff and he'll end up signing on our terms if he is truly desperate to stay.

Carlton's List Manager stood down today, so not sure who there is making the Armatey approach? If hypothetically, Armatey does chase tbe bigger $$$$ at Carlton, i wouldn't mind making a bid for Cripps in return.

He is a big bodied midfielder that we lack and would flourish without the burden he‘s had to carry. Would relish playing for team in premiership window outside the Melb bubble.

He would be good insurance for Chad leaving at end of next season and provide time for Harry Kyle to develop and take over that role.

He will be an UFA at end of next year as 32yo but may seek trade this year.

maybe amartey and ladhams (blues need another ruck ,lost one to sts .) for Cripps who could get a p/ship before he retires.

Not bothering checking out the top 30 AFL draftees listed at this early stage for this year's draft.

Our current picks are 36, 39, 45, 70 (Total Points: 724). These will slide even further under the new matching bid rules.

We don't have any Swans Academy players listed in the top 30.

This can all change of course, being early days and alot to play out.

Hoping the Chad stays but...... If WC came with big money for him, we should throw a big long term deal at Gibney as a counter.

WA teams have made us put up money for a while now, we should throw it back at them.

Chad Warmer is going to be on Ch 7 Unfiltered. Just read a paywall sneak peak, where Chad reveals he was ready to leave Sydney last year coming out of contract, till Dean Cox convinced him otherwise.

Reckons he and his GF are now settled in Sydney more than ever and loving it. Wants to return to WA at some stage, but now isn't sure whether it will be in 18 months when current contract expires or post his footy career.

It was speculated by Tom Morris on AS last night, that Armatey will receive offers up to $1.2m if Ben King re-signs with GC.

Apparently we have a 5 x $700k offer in front of Armatey, who is currently baulking this, despite his desire to stay.

No way is Amartey worth anywhere near $1.2m. I'd say goodbye to Armatey if his management continues to play hardball.

We need to have room in our cap space to re-sign star players coming out of contract next year.

Kane Cornes reckons our offer is fair and have Mclean ready to take his spot, who is struggling to get a game this year.

I think we'll lose either of them at season's end.

At that price, let him walk. I really like him as a player, even if he is up and down, but he isn't worth remotely that - especially given the coin we've already got locked up in Curnow.

Over the following two years, we have to re-sign elite level talent Isaac, Chad, Grundy, Errol, McCartin, and Papley, let alone a host of best 22 players like Serong, Jordan, Edwards, Wicks and so on.

If Joel thinks he can get that elsewhere, good luck to him, but it won’t be at a club that has both a no1 key forward to take pressure off him AND a midfield capable of matching the delivery he gets from ours.

With his body, the longer he holds out the riskier it gets for him not us.
