List Mgmt. 2025 List Management discussion

[saintbill]

Heard from a source months back about TDK link before it broke in the media. He knows TDK management.

Saw him yesterday at the footy. Based on what he knows he said it is very unlikely it doesn't happen.

I am going early. TDK will be at the Saints next year.

 

[Saint Ray]

Wasn't worth a turd until Cornes started talking him up to get a better deal for his old club.
Cant say i noticed him before then.

He is not needed imho.

 

[mighty_sainters]

I’m still going to lean towards TDK staying at the Blues, really want him but I think it’s slightly more unlikely than likely.

 

[Curunir]

I reckon Walsh could be worth a look, value would likely be at an all time low at the end of season and if we can get him fit is exactly the type of midfielder we need.

 

[ScrappyDo]

What's amusing is that commentators are saying that with Richmond's young inexperienced list this is expected. But no one speaks about St Kilda's young inexperienced list.

The only notable difference there is Nas, Windy and Chito being about a season's experience ahead of their comparative group.
Converting that to an averaged line graph will tell the story better. Adding Pou will further bolster that group.

just a mischevious thought

we shouldnt,but is there any way that people look back in not so many years and say St.Kilda out drafted Richmond in 2024?

i mean Lalor and Trainor off to very good starts,but how are our 5 shaping up?Trav looks set,Barrat should be locked into kpd for 15 years,maybe a regular as early as 2026,Tauru ditto,sounds are pretty positive around Dodson and Said

among the richmond guys are a couple that look like long term developers,sims faull armstrong & alger has only just reached double figure possies in 2 games in the vfl

we lost battle to get our 5 guys,they lost bolton baker graham rioli

interesting watch,for me anyway

I think that will be a great draft for Richmond and I'd be surprised if ours ends up as good. But it also looks like a really good draft for us and compliments the previous 4 years of drafting.

 

[Gavinmitchell11]

We’re gonna get TDK and Bergman.

 

[chris_h_11]

The young Tigers are going to take a while to blossom. They're in for a really tough few years, they've gutted their list and there's probably more pain to come - Lynch, Hopper, Taranto etc would be considering their options.

Im really happy with our kids and they will play a role in our clubs improvement moving forward. But generally the kids taken earlier in the draft have a much higher sucess rate than those later. We needed key talls hence the Tauru and Barrat calls, Travaglia was best available but I think he will be a little behind the elite mids in the draft.

I watched Simms and Faull in yesterdays VFL game and think Simms will end up a mobile ruckman, Faull will replace Lynch, Lalor has done his first preseason for sometime, Trainor spent most of the night playing on smalls will be a 3rd tall, Armstrong needs time and then they have Smille and Hotton still to return. I cant see the Tigers ever being unhappy with that haul.

We aren't seeing the best out of him at Carlton recently. Through their atrocious injury management and game style that doesn't suit him. I think he's withering at the vine there. I'd give up our likely top 10 pick this year for him, fits the age demo and clearly his upside his massive. Saw a post about him playing contested due to Carlton's game style where as ours would free him up to get the uncontested possies, run forward and be that damaging player he can be. It would be a monster effort to pull him out of Carlton though.. and their supporters might legitimately burn down Ikon park if it happened.

 

[jimmytigs]

i forgot about boxshall in my earlier post,no way our haul should be better considering our positions in the draft,but wouldnt it be magnificent if it turns out we got the better of it?

even getting close would show we have the right guys in those positions

Averages are not statistically comparable, there are too many variables better to look at a dot plot. .

Leek Aliir looks like exactly what we need down back with Barratt and Taurus for the next 10 years.

Keen to see how the year pans out with Caminiti in the backline first to be honest. He has shown some good signs so far.

Still has a lot to learn though no doubt.

 

[Gavinmitchell11]

Looks like we’re likely to get Leek as well but im not sold on paying a guy big money who can’t break into his current side on form/ability. I do t care if your teams stacked in your position, If you’re getting $900k you need to be picking yourself.

Like Macrae?

 

[Gavinmitchell11]

Like Macrae?

Yeah I guess.

 

[Joffaboy]

Yeah I guess.

Don't let him get away with that mate. Tell him Macrae was a multiple AA and a 249 game veteran, Allir has played 15 games.

$900k is the new $500k, get the boy in. Finally, our very own Sudanese

Cult of personality

 

[bird_man]

I'd honestly be surprised if the 900k would be true.

I can't see a club offering anywhere near that so I'm not sure why we'd have to. Maybe there could be some clauses in there that if he were an AA or best and fairest he would get that but it doesn't sound right otherwise.

I rate him though, was keen to chase him last year. Shouldn't cost too much in a trade this year.

Haha, I was about to say something to that effect then thought…. What’s the point?

 

[Gavinmitchell11]

I reckon when Matteas gets on the park this season we will see that he is without doubt, our best player. I’d like a a four year extension for him and 7 years for Nas.

Yep. Based on the article where the 900k figure came from, it reads as a bit of guess work of the maximum we could offer if we had too.


"Every Victorian club is interested in GWS defender Leek Aleer, but rivals believe St Kilda would trump them all if it came to a bidding contest.

Figures of as much from the Saints as $800,000-$900,000 a season have been bandied about for the Kenyan-born, Sudanese-heritage defender, extraordinary given his eight AFL games last year saw him averaging only 10 possessions."
