The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

[pilgrim 120]

we went for him last year, offering big bikkies.

he signed on with the crows, and then couldn't get a regular game.

pick 54 or bust.

What do you mean couldn't get a regular game? Mackay played 19 games this season, averaging 16.6 disposals with a high of 25 against Geelong in Rd 17.

people who post spelling / grammatical corrections are anal morons, mmmkay?

Sigh.

It was a joke on the connection between David MacKay, Mr. McKay from South Park and his catch phrase: "Drugs are bad... mmmkay", and you saying you offered him bikkies.

It's a tough life being a modest, ridiculously good looking comedic genius... and anal moron.

How is Cross 'no longer required'?

We picked up a replacement for Sylvia and two kids with 14 games experience.

Cross would be more than handy, and he would be cheap.

One would presume that the club has done "due diligence" regarding his knee(s).

Spot on; only thing stopping him from playing a full season was a hip injury.

Maybe Mackay could be a PSD option?

[Tatu 416]

Has Mackay nominated a club? What do people think would get the deal done?

[Bang Bang Bang 5,548]

In regards to Taylor Adams - what's stopping him doing a Luke Ball and nominating for the National Draft? Rightly or wrongly no club will go near him the same way no club went near Ball. You just don't use early picks on players that have publicly stated they don't want to be there.

By the way - I find it absurdly arrogant that a relative no-namer like Taylor Adams refuses to even talk to Melbourne. Thought the same about Caddy last year (although he did play in a prelim this year so he's probably not losing much sleep). Talk about big heads on some of these kids.

A Melbourne fan and his favourite player was Todd Viney.

Sooo I expect Todd Viney to give him a surprise phone call and tell him to go to the PSD.

He's contracted

How can he go to the PSD when he signed a contract last year after we offered him big bucks? The total dis-regard for logic in this thread is unbelievable sometimes.

Ahh man, don't be like that. The PSD is the magical cure all to every ill we have: need a player and don't want to give up picks? PSD! Coach not performing? PSD! Looking for a sponsor? PSD! Want to impress men and score with the woman? PSD PSD PSD!

We don't have much. Leave us with our dreams.

Word on the AFL site that one way or another, the Adams/Shaw deal will go through. So we can almost certainly cross that possibility off the list.

Steady on. It's hard to keep track of who's out of contract here yet alone at other clubs.

Mackay rejects demons

Mackay rejects demons

You could have informed everyone it's an article from last year...

Doesn't really make a difference and someone had already mentioned it was last year.

Sheesh..

The name Mackay should be synonymous with the fact that he was the guy who rejected us last year.

Not necessarily just a crack at you, just seems as though the PSD is the cure for every player no matter how big their contract is on this board.

Mackay for ... Tapscott (hmmm I think tappy will be good but it could work)

[Hannibal 5,814]

Mackay doesn't kick goals and doesn't get the footy. What use is he ?

Had your chance son.

P1zz off.

Exactly. Not sure he's any better than Evans or Matt Jones. Although his kicking which isn't amazing is probably better than M Jones and he has a bit more speed than Evans but probably not the same competitiveness.

So I'd take him if they want a swap for rejects but they wont want that. They'll want a top 35 pick which we dont have anyway. They should send him up to Brisbane who could do with some bodies in his age range just so they dont replace all of the 5 that are leaving with second and third round draft picks.

Latish pick and a player offer him money and see where it goes .. tappy/blease and a pick may get it done, just not pick 9

Tappy and blease may still be guns.

Have some faith. He isn't worth pick 9 to even a drunk recruiter.

Just updating my previous post in this thread, piggybacking off rpfc's Contracts Thread...

So from the 2013 primary list we've lost: Sylvia, Gillies, Davey, Rodan, Macdonald, Davis, Tynan and Sellar.

That's 8 spots opened up (not worried about rookie list at this stage).

Hogan comes onto the list, leaving 7 spots.

Michie comes in a trade, leaving 6 spots.

Vince comes onto the list for our compo pick, leaving 5 spots.

Dom Tyson comes in via trade, leaving 4 spots.

Taggert, Jetta and Nicholson all remain OOC, and can be delisted to create extra spots if needed.

We must use a minimum of 3 picks in the draft.

If we happen to upgrade Clisby off the rookie list, it will leave us with 3 spots, but also counts as one draft pick used from our minimum of 3.

We currently hold draft picks 9, 40, 57 & 94...

We have the 2nd pick in the PSD & also in the Rookie Draft.
