Trade Tom McDonald Thread

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

    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.

    Have heard GC have inquired about Harmes.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
