The List Manager.

Standalone game · In development

Take your favourite team to PREMIERSHIP GLORY with this management sim built around real AFL list strategy. Draft prospects, trade for stars, manage the cap, navigate retirements, and try to build a flag-winning list across multiple seasons.

Heads up: The List Manager is a separate, standalone game in development by True Footy — it isn’t playable through this website. This page is just the home for devlogs and updates while it’s being built.

Targeting a release in early 2027.

Current progress: Building the match sim, refining gamestyles and establishing a system that produces realistic game results.

Next: Building the career mode!

The game

List management. The whole thing.

▲

Real draft

A full class of ranked prospects per year, scoutable, with hidden potential. Make the call on bolters and slides.

⇄

Trade period

Negotiate with 17 rival lists. Future picks, contract years, restricted free agents.

$

The cap

Real soft cap, real veteran's allowance. Pay your stars or lose them.

●

Retirements & injuries

Plan for the long view. Who's done? Who's the next captain? Who can't be replaced?

★

Free agency

Restricted and unrestricted. Match offers or let stars walk. Compensation picks included.

↑

Multiple eras

Take a contender, a rebuild, or a coast-on-cruise. Each list direction plays completely differently.
