List Mgmt. Hawk's List Management for 2025

[Scrads]

Usually do one of these before the trade period but was caught-up with other stuff this year so here is my post-trade period update! This is what I have at the moment. As you can see, firstly the list is STACKED in terms of talent (which we already knew) but is also pretty close to being completely full as it is. If what I have is correct, then we have 36 primary list, 4 Cat A and 1 Cat B locked in for next year which leaves us with limited options in terms of drafting next month and SSP/MSD in 2025.

If I had to guess, I'd say we are likely to delist-then-rookie one or both of Gunston and/or Breust for flexibility. Regardless, we can only intake a max of 2 players to primary/Cat A list at the moment plus the option of another Cat B player if we want (which I suspect we will re-sign Bennetts with).

As usual, if you spot any mistakes then please let me know

There's one guy out there somewhere convinced that all our woes began when we got rid of Trent Stubbs...

DimiPumpa, or something...may have been his dad. No-one else could possibly have cared as much.

Don't worry if you're wondering "Trent who?"...such was his towering legacy...

From memory I think he was a NSW scholarship player and came to us with some wraps? (Same channel as Tex Walker recruited by the Crows).

Yep.

We got rid of him very quickly, then I think Collingwood rookied him, much to the disgust of said DimiPumpa, for whom delisting him was a worse mistake than Richmond taking Tambling instead of Buddy. Many "mark my words!" were posted.

Suffice to say, neither Trent nor Dimi troubled the scorers after that...

 

[SSSSSS]

Trent Stubbs is a name I've not heard in a long time.

The hype around him was huge. Remember people saying we've plucked the best NSW junior in a decade.

Was an absolute loose cannon and never justified the hype.

He's no Tom Schneider though. In an alternative universe he's a 4x All Australian Centreman and I'm going out with Margot Robbie.

IIRC, his father was up there with Hartung's dad as a pest around coaches.

 

[Turly]

Callaghan is the (realistic) dream for next year. I remember seeing a few rumour posts maybe a month ago that he was homesick.

Need Cmac in his ear.

My favourite non hawk player. That whole year leading up to the draft I was praying we’d be able to pick him up.

Absolute gun.

He looked like a dead-set f'wit in the rooms after the Dogs game...

Strange to learn that because what i have heard and read is that Jack himself is a good guy and team mate off field. So dad is a bag of dicks! Go figure.

Always reminds me of the poster who absolutely lost his shit that we let go Litherland and said we’d regret it.

Who was the other one? Small midfielder from memory. Tom something?

Posters were going berserk claiming he was going to be a superstar of the comp.

Edit: Tom Schneider! That’s the one. Those were crazy times. Was it HODGEYROAD who said we’d regret it big time as he’s going to be elite?

Tom Schneider used to be in my sig.

I should update it. It's been a while!

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

I'd be embarrassed if i was an adult and my parents were crying to the coaches

Sam keeps talking about trying Sicily in the Stewart role next year.

That's exciting. I wonder if we will see Sicily start on the wing and look to drift back as the spare like Stewart has been.

Moore runs so hard he plays almost as a pseudo wing anyway. Or I wonder if Finn can play that role from HF to still let Moore do most of his damage in the forward half?

Funny I saw Tom Schneider play a bit of local footy at Pearcedale in the Mornington Peninsula League this year a very handy type although he is getting on in age. Did he win a liston medal?

I do have a story but it would not be my finest work sharing it here!

[Nugett]

Yes, he would have been handy when Day was out.

I’m doubtful that we wouldn’t have been in finals this year if Tom Mitchell and O’Meara were still with us. They were taking us backwards rather than forwards.

 

[Nugett]

Two very experienced on-field coaches in an area we can afford their salary, and if they aren’t playing they are providing excellent depth and guidance. Tucker was a mid season draft pick that was not (in my opinion) showing much at all at VFL level. Unfortunately it’s a tough gig and being in the very best echelon to warrant a list spot is bloody hard. It’s a massive accomplishment to just make a list.

If it were my choice I would have taken the experience and guidance in this situation too.

Also too, Gunston has been on record that he is happy to play at boxhill if required. In order to help coach, can see Gunston being a very good forward coach after his playing career.

Him and his brother were standing out in fluro boots before they were cool.

Can confirm the homesickness which I heard direct from a relative but this person also thinks he stays

There is one Melbourne club heavily in his ear and if he were to come back top VIC, it wont be to us

Has a connection with Dear apparently though so who knows

Does Ginni’s dad post on here?

Would not surprise me at all if he were a regular he with a 15 year old account. He's somewhat active on the "Let's Talk Hawthorn" facebook group. There's a few family members and former players in that group. I've seen Dermott and Eade post in there sometimes. And Wingard's dad posted something last week.

Ginni’s family have been mad Hawks and members forever, his old man played a lot of footy too so the game is in the blood. I’d be pretty shocked if he wasn’t on the Hawks board here, don’t know if he would be an active poster though, probably prefers the radio.
