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

In my very humble opinion I think Bennetts has shown more at Box Hill than Butler has

Butler started the year really well and has shown glimpses at AFL level. I think he was set to break into the side this year and got his chance early but not quite there. I think if he was able to have had another patch at box Hill he'd have found his way back into the side and been better for it

Club article is saying Hill is now 187cm.

Thought it was Matt Hill the golden tonsils caller for a sec.

Let’s hope the angel can find our new Matt Hill’s shoulder too.

Apologies I am not an expert and I might have the rules wrong.
But am I right in thinking that we will need to delist/re-rookie one senior list player in order to meet the three draft selection requirements? and then upgrade a current rookie?
If so who are we moving to the rookie list/upgrading?

I was thinking a Brad Hill clone hopefully without the home sickness

Disappointed for JB, I really thought he'd be given another crack, but understandable given how tight spots are.

A good reminder for folks that these boards are often perused by family members of players. Particularly worth remembering when diagnosing a player with ADHD based off an action on the footy field, or calling one of our own "garbage" or a "spud".

I find it hilarious on rookie me central that they publish the draftees profiles with height but no weight, yet leave the word “Weight:” there with a blank space…View attachment 2153971

They definitely weigh players when they do the testing. My boy has his weight listed in their online portal, and so do at least some of the other players.
