List Mgmt. 2025 List management

[Superkoops]

On the radio they were going through AFL list profiles. They said Freo have 4 players over 30 when starting the season. I can only find 3:
Fyfe, JOM, Walters

Aish turns 30 in Nov and Pearce 30 in June. No others that I can see. Oscar Mac and Luke Ryan are 28.

Probably referring to Pearce who will be 30 during the middle of the season.

It's a huge plus for Freo that in 2025 we barely need our oldest players - their young replacements are close to, if not already surpassed, what they offer. We also have leadership and footy nous way beyond the age/games played metrics across all lines. Exciting times.

How long til we hear about AB’s new contract? Everyone reckoned it would be the old Christmas present jobby, but nada. When do we lock in the last piece of the midfield puzzle?

For youse who believes worrying helps, save it for the injury list.
AB is a DFL (Docker For Life).
Rest assured.

I'm going with a little nugget the easter bunny leaves us.

First bad/shock loss of the season.

Is it a bit morbid to think possible delistings/retirements already for the end of 2025?
Fyfe and Walters are the obvious ones, then
Aish,
Erasmus (50/50. Make or break year)
Worner
Jones
Deelan
Hopefully Omac and Narkle get a good crack at it this year.
Everybody wants to be the nice guy, but it's actually pretty poor list management that JOM, Banners and Brodie all have a spot for 2026

Strangely enough Banners still has a contract for next year.

We have 2 or 3 NGA prospects. And it is the last draft before Tassie. Will be interesting to see how hard they cut, but I'd expect at least 5 would be gone:

• all of the older ones Fyfe, Walters, Aish likely gone. We have younger replacements ready to go.
• MacDonald and Narkle could have a role as depth even if they aren't regulars. But 1 year deals only.
• Delean probably needs a very good year.
• not sure Odin would even be considered for extending if Riddle shows anything?

Plus we need to free up a spot for Pickett.

We are actually carrying some decent players as depth who may have some trade value, or perhaps value as part of a trade.

Erasmus, Cooper, Voss, Ollie Murphy. Players who are developing but who may struggle for Best 22.

If Pickett is a serious option, or if we want to improve our draft position, something could happen.

Would any of these guys get us any more than a future third? (At best).
The only guys I can think of that will get us some sort of capital would be Darcy (and maybe Noddy depending on his year) I reckon even Luke Ryan and Switta are too old to get us a first rounder.
