2025 List Management Thread

Hey mjp they actually had one after opening round!

[Stevo]

I agree with Mofra, there is no real story here. Lets see how he goes by mid season.

[Bornadog]

They were just stating that any talks won't be held till mid season. Do you think we should extend him?

[Mofra]

"34 year old currently injured doesn't automatically get a contract extension after round 1" has to be the biggest non-story of the week. Surely.

Wait for Bulldog

A decision on Western Bulldogs defender Liam Jones’ future at the Kennel beyond this season won’t be made before the club’s round 12 bye in late May.



Jones, 34, is still recovering from a high-grade hamstring strain he suffered in an intraclub match on the Gold Coast in February and could be another month away from returning.

The three-year deal the ex-Blue signed with the Bulldogs to end his COVID-19 exile from the AFL expires at season’s end, and he has been a valuable addition down back for Luke Beveridge the past two years.

Discussions about Jones’ future will not take place until the bye, according to an industry source who works in player contracts and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

How is a show called 'GETTABLE' running after 1-round?

I know this is the LM thread but can we play a few games first??

[JanLorMill]

Interesting that on Gettable, Leek Aliir is set to leave GWS.
Surely we ask the question?

I bet it’s Brisbane.
The afl trade market is a joke. Wroughted by the same clubs and ruled by players

[Axe Man]

Interesting that on Gettable, Leek Aliir is set to leave GWS.
Surely we ask the question?

Unless he can establish himself in the 22 then he would be crazy to stay.

We should definitely be interested but I imagine half the league will be as well.

[Mofra]

Interesting that on Gettable, Leek Aliir is set to leave GWS.

[jazzadogs]

I don't think Ed got many votes in the 'next captain' thread, but perhaps he is an option ahead of Naughton and Darcy? He certainly stood up on the weekend without Bont.

ED’S SLICE OF HISTORY … AS THE DOGS WORK TOWARDS A NEW DEAL

Western Bulldogs midfielder gun Ed Richards carved out a remarkable slice of family footy history last week and will be looking to build on that as he and the club edge closer towards striking a new lengthy deal.

The 25-year-old has fast become one of the Dogs’ most important players and he is a clear priority signing along with skipper Marcus Bontempelli and Adam Treloar with the trio being key members of the club’s stellar midfield.

Insiders have expressed the boost in leadership Richards has shown in recent seasons, and that was evident last Saturday night when he and Tom Liberatore led the Dogs’ midfield in Bontempelli and Treloar’s absence with injury.

The Herald Sun understands there is good will between the Bulldogs and the Richards camp as they look to take him off the free agency tables.

There is no firm timeline but the two parties are working towards a positive resolution, with rival clubs believing Richards will remain in the red, white and blue next year and beyond.

Richards scored a perfect 10 from the two coaches in last week’s round 1 win over North Melbourne.

It took his own games tally to 126 matches, lifting his family to an outright first (1065 matches) in terms of VFL-AFL games on record.

Richards is the seventh member of his family to play league football, dating back to his great-great grandfather Charlie Pannam Sr, who first played for Collingwood in the VFA back in 1894 before playing his first match in the VFL in 1897 – 128 years ago.

Richards grew up as a Magpies supporter and was even pictured as a newborn in 1999 outside Victoria Park with his grandfather Ron Richards and great uncle Lou Richards.

He was taken by the Bulldogs as pick 16 in the 2017 draft and his move into the midfield last season helped him develop swiftly into one of the Dogs’ most important players.

He is seen as a potential future captain with the Bulldogs in the future, with the club eager to lock him away as soon as they can.

I was only thinking about him this morning and whether he had signed up. We have Ed, Bont, Treloar and Libba all with contracts expiring this year.

Both weren't up to it.

Happy with this.

Chance for someone who impresses in mid season.

[Mofra]

I'm a bit surprised.

I'm a bit more than surprised.

[Bornadog]

Rocco Jones wanted me to post this.
