2025 List Management Thread

What’s everyone’s thoughts on our out of contract players and who stays and who goes?
I think L.Jones and Duryea most likely retire
Also think Treloar, JJ, Poulter, Baker, Coffield and Sellwood deserve at least another year so that leaves Scott and A.Jones as possible delistings.
Buku possible trade out along with Jamarra.
So that’s maybe 6 out the door is that enough? Maybe a couple others may be stiff and get the chop also?

The point is it’s no good delisting players if there is no one better to replace them.
I think a lot depends on what’s around in that space .

I get what you're saying but I'm not sure that it holds true.
Replacing retired and marginal players is the cycle of the footy and the club has to back their talent identification.
For example, Daniel would have struggled to keep a regular spot this year but we replaced him with Dolan.
It's a slight step back in the short term but hopefully a better long term play.
By year 2 or 3 we would be hoping Dolan becomes a regular senior player and someone who impacts the scoreboard.

It depends on draft quality too - this year is considered but a weak and compromised draft so most teams will probably extend a fringe player by a year rather than cut too hard and pick up a bunch of kids unlikely to make it.

I suspect we finish a bit early on night 2 of draft night this year.

I'm of the impression we tried to get ahead of the draft with our 2 mid season picks this year plus and the current plan (subject to change) is to only select 2 or 3 players as a max on draft night.

Yes and looking at the age factor and what is our game plan moving forward . Who best suits . Dolan is a way far better player in what we are looking for and as shown at Nth sadly Daniel has dropped off .
I did make it simple I must say in my first post but I think our points do come together as one.
Adding to the equation We also needed to do it now or Tassie would get a lot of the talent in the next few years .

Surely Khamis will seek a trade? Croft is being played ahead of him and Lachie Smith now seems ahead of him in the pecking order.

I can't see how Coffield, Poulter, Scott (sadly) can justify another contract.

On A.Jones I'd sign him up for one more year. We need to follow the Lindsay Gaze analogy around height and ability but swap it with pace and ability.

Khamis is apparently seeing a couple of clubs in the next week or two but would prefer to say if he thinks he will be played

Regarding Arty, in 4 years he has only impacted a few games. He will probably get another season but on results he shouldn't.
I don't know if my memory is wrong but his best football in the seniors was when Cody was playing.

I think Coffield has shown enough in the vfl the last few months to deserve another year at least. Definitely a good depth option.

Can you please explain what you think he has shown at VFL level that would get him another season on an AFL list. He is treacle slow and a poor decision maker. Maybe VFL IS his level.

Well really it depends if we bring a defender or 2 in, if we don’t well I don’t see what he’s done wrong in the vfl that would suggest he shouldn’t get another year to keep a bit of depth down back. Interrupted start to the year feel he’s built as the years gone on. Can play tall or small as well. Likely jones and Duryea will finish up as well so what do you suggest?

[Mofra]

Coffield really does position himself well. His body issues have destroyed not just his speed but his lateral movement too. I have no faith he can play small.

Unfortunately it hasn’t worked out. He’s just not going to be anything better than a 5th option for us as a medium+ defender and he can’t play any other roles at this stage of his career and injury history.

We might not get a prospect as “ready” to play AFL if required but I would prefer we roll the dice and see what we can find. The one caveat is if we lose more than Jones in our medium+ defender list.

[Go_Dogs]

For list changes, I’d probably be looking at:
Jones - retire
Duryea - retire
Scott - delist
Poulter - delist
Coffield - delist

If JJ and Treloar want to go another year I’d be supportive of both and expect at least one of them will.

Poulter nearly played himself into a new contract but suspect Baker gets a nod ahead of him based on form over the last few weeks. Poulter just doesn’t have “it” for tenacity and while we’ve tried to find a spot for him as he has natural ability it hasn’t quite worked out.

Scott is unlucky in some ways - he’s had injury troubles which have limited him and when healthy his VFL form has seemed solid without being spectacular (based on my interpretation of reports).

Arty Jones probably gets one more year because we don’t have anyone with his wheels. If the draft crop was deeper than touted he’d perhaps be next in line.

[Grantysghost]

Coffield was a good player, now he's a long way back sadly. I doubt we keep him on.
One of those guys that would be a perfect VFL captain.
