Trade Tom McDonald Thread

[spirit of norm smith 16,589]

Whilst we are all in the mathematics of trying to improve the team, we should see how we can really engineer a coup. Let’s trade both Tom McDonald and his brother Oscar McDonald to the Suns. The Ballarat boys would love the sun and surf.  They both have frustrated the hell out of me and I’m yet to be convinced they would be up getting premiership medallions on the big dance day. 

What would the disparate and desparate Suns give?  Ben King and pick 40 (start of 3rd round).

why not see what rebuild we can truly deliver

Oh FFS...

[spirit of norm smith 16,589]

Yes. I know. It’s like all the trades for Brayshaw, Petracca, Viney.  Ridiculous isn’t it.  Yet we have pages of pages.  I think Gawn and Oliver might be the only safe ones if you read demonland.  Crazy times and crazy posts ahead.

Can we start the 'Trade Everyone' thread and be done with the club?

Have heard GC have inquired about Harmes.

Pick 1 & 2 please, ?

I just failed the concussion test. I’m missing next week. 

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Bloody hell. This off-season is shaping up to be as painful as the season proper if these recent threads are anything to go by.

[Little Goffy 14,645]

Can we have a special unique, bizarre thread where people only post actual news or at least rumours of substance.

Give this thread three pages and people will be talking about how the McDonald's are disgruntled and want out and Tom only played badly this season because he was put of by Mahoney eyebrows.

There is merit to this trade. Basically Tmac for Ben King so we get a forward for next 12 years.

Secondly we clean up pick 40 for OMac which gives us an overs return for him. 

We have all seen Tmac struggle being the #1 forward for a season now so his value will further drop if he is proven to be consistently bad as the main focus point.

This board is starting to lose the plot.

It might be easier to have a thread for players we aren’t going to trade. 

[Dee Zephyr 19,269]

And finals haven’t even started yet.....Harmes is next I’m guessing.

[Demonland 73,165]

Can we trade TMac's toe for a working one?

Rubbish thread. We need KPFs, and he’s the only mature one we’ve got. Had a poor year by his standards, but is probably in a handful of who are off limits.

Yes, you did mention it at the top of the thread. I hope we politely refused and pointed them toward the closest surf beach.

Let’s be honest.  We are suffering from DDSS.  DISAPPOINTED DEMONS SUPPORTERS SYNDROME.  

A shocking mental disease that cripples it’s sufferers.  Leaves you mentally on the edge

Hahahaha lets just bloody trade everyone. 

hearing we are going to sign jeffy again just so we can trade him

[Pates 9,660]

Unless we are in prime position to pick up another FF this can't be done. We already looked impotent going forward, Tom had a god awful year, while Weids didn't develop and also had injury concerns. 

We cant trade out one of our pillars unless we are guaranteed to get one back that is ready to slot straight in.

That poor shark must be getting really sick of being jumped over.

I’m a fan of Harmes so I hope there is nothing to it. Can see him being part of our next premiership.

Not sure what's worse the trade part or the suggestion two blokes from Edenhope in rural Victoria would like to live on the GC
