Tom McDonald (and Oscar) SIGNS.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

This reminds me of that hilarious Alan Partridge skit involving Domingo from Little Oakley ...

Not yet is he?I thought he was on about 500k. 

I'm saying that money at end of year will go to him (Or at least the majority). Hogan is probably on about 400-500 right now, he'll get at LEAST double that.

Big offers for both McDonald and Wood. Must have good accountants in Syd.

They have their own private salary cap up there...

On the basis of their current playing list and deals in place and even allowing for a few retirements at the Swans, if we are serious about keeping McDonald it escapes me how we couldn't be competitive with an offer. Understand the Hogan factor but if we don't sign T Mac ( which I  hope we do) would assume we have an even  better plan B .

Hope you are right mate. The upcoming trade period is crucial to us. We need 24-28 age bracket players to help the kids

To keep a list full of talent together you have to be successful. Admittefly we got a great deal for frawley but I'd take him bach in a heartbeat

Are the Swans still getting the COLA?  If they poach T Mac and are still getting it, theres going to be a war, and yeah Im gonna start it

[picket fence 15,735]

Happy to eat "Humble Pie" for a game at least! I thought T Mac VERY GOOD TODAY! 

Still not moved bt his brother whose direct opponent kicked two of the three Aaints Goals> Still looks slow, But, so do half of the team!

I reckon he might just get better and better from here on out. As will his brother. I reckon they missed Frost today. His pace would have been handy. But I don't think you rate him either, do you, mate? Our defence is coming together. Our midfield's lack of two-way-running let us down today. Downhill skiing, big time.

Two games Picket, he was near BOG last week.  

[Demon Jack 6,397]

Overall, he's been pretty solid over the last month. His kicking has improved big time.

Sydney Swans football manager Tom Harley said on a 3AW interview just now when asked if they were "talking to Tom McDonald"....

"No ...he is a bit outside our price range"

[SaberFang 7,141]

Sounds like his manager is drastically overselling his client.

Or Sydney are trying to drive a wedge between Tommy Mac and the MFC.

[Robbie57 1,996]

sounds like they will be talking to the Essendon guys and that Tom asking price is too high for even the magic money tree.

Who is his manager? 

 

[3183 Dee 2,656]

Or maybe there is going to be an exchange of Toms between Melbourne and Sydney? Mac to SYD and Mitch to MEL?

Mitchell puts talks on hold

I'm hoping that he goes to Richmond for a first and second round pick, sick of his unpressured turnovers. ,
