2025 List Management Thread

These are still the players that have an expiring contract at the end of the season.

These are my recommendations so I'd be interested in your thoughts.

Pretty accurate I think of what will happen. Arty Jones and Coffield still have a small shot imo to get a one year deal, actually think Coffield could play AFL soon.

Broadly agree. I think Adz will be dependent on if he wants to go on. I’d probably lean on letting L Jones go, but can see the argument for keeping him as a depth piece.
I’m a Scott fan but he just can’t keep himself on the park.

I would let Jones go and would give Poulter another year.

While I still think Treloar has more to offer and he's such a positive and professional person to have at the club, his relationship with Sanders could be important next season in a contract year.

List management wise we have brought in a few more players via the drafts in the last two seasons so we don't have to be too ruthless on cutting players at the end of this year.
The older players like Treloar, Libba, Jones and JJ will need to accept potential role changes and not being automatic selections.

Ugle-Hagan's availability might open up another spot.

[Countrydog5]

Treloar - 1 year / retire (I think he'll hang them up)
Scott - Delist (unfortunate run of injuries but surplus to needs)
A. Jones - 1 year
Poulter - Delist
JJ - 1 year / retire (50/50 to retire)
L. Jones - 1 year
Bont - As long as he wants, in whatever role
Sellwood - 1 year
Coffield - Delist
Baker - Delist
Duryea - Retire
Libba - 1 year every year until he's had enough

That's 5 off the list before any off-season movement / rookie elevations etc. There will always be a player or two depart so we'd be going into the draft / trade period with 6-7 list spots available i'd guess. Personally i'd be thanking Gardner for his time as well if we needed an extra list spot.

You could run the argument no doubt to retain Poulter. He's been in pretty good form for Footscray and is a unique player.
I'm not as quick to delist Jones though especially assuming Coffield goes.

How many changes at the end of the season do you think we will go with BAD?

I would probably keep Poulter too, but with him JJ and Liam what we were able to bring in might enable us to let them go.

Other than that, surely you sign Libba for ten!

Out of interest BAD and Uniformed why Poulter over Baker?

Not much in it for me, but I think Poulter gives a bit more value from his possessions and is younger, taller, with more chance of improvement. Baker has more pace though.

I think your assessment of 6 is about right

Agree with this Azabob. He is very athletic and I feel he has some potential

[Hotdog60]

Baker is all run and butcher the ball I go for Poulter over Baker

[azabob]

For the record I’d delist both.

Can see the reasoning if we really want a clean out.
