A second rounder for Peter Wright?

Get your hand off it.

With that logic....

Would you take a second rounder for Tmac?

First rounder at the minimum.  Big fellas like him don't grow on trees, and GC wouldn't let him go cheaply.

TMac would probably get us a 2nd rounder, definitely not a first.

I wouldn't think Wright would be worth any more.

Wright spent more than half the year in the 2s for whatever reason. Either he's rubbish, so why would we bother, or he's worth a player that has spent most of his time in the ressies who can't crack a game at the worst club in the AFL. GC cant have it both ways, likewise with how they're positioning themselves on Jack Martin. Dropped him numerous times this and last year, yet asking the world for him.

More than half the year?  He played 17 games in the seniors.  You need to check your math skills.

A bit of hyperbole never hurt anyone. Regardless, I don't think a club has much of a leg to stand on when the player has been constantly injured and dropped

Asked for more info, was told they are still trying, but it comes down to a waiting game, as so many trades are being held up and the likelihood of this one is dependent on others moving first.

also didn’t rule out speaking to other taller forwards, but unsure if they are really serious about getting one unless it is the one they want (possibly not interested in a short term solution). 

Best part of trade week are these inside info posts, love em, cheers for the info! In your opinion, do you think it would be difficult to appease the other party in a trade for this player with our current assets? Or am I pushing my luck with this question haha

What is this thread all about? We need more inside mids, not a key forward. Can’t have enough of those.

So you’re confident we have the kind of forward line required to win a premiership?

I would only be guessing, but I would dare say they would want some draft picks to help them out, so we could do that, but only my opinion.

I hope we are still trying, haven’t heard or asked anything further (sorry, but haven’t had the chance), but we do need someone to help up forward.

Hoping and expecting our forward line to get back to 2018 form, fingers crossed, if we can get a few on the park and work on our delivery.

I don’t care who we had forward this year, nobody would score with our movement and delivery from this season.

I still think TMac will/can kick 50 goals next season, as a clean bill of health and some confidence will get him back to the form he had, and as a starting point up forward, that isn’t bad.

A fit melksham can kick over 30, as can Trac (if he works on his kicking) and Fritsch.

I hope I am not being too biased and wishful, but we can’t go from being such a high scoring side in 2018, with the same forward line minus hogan, to being so woeful without the possibility of working on it and getting the form back.

If everyone gets back to their 2018 form, we are still 2 goals a game down (Hogan)

We had a lot of games decided by less than 2 goals

 

Exactly BW that's why we need Bruce for pick 26 if possible. Readymade 2 goal  a game big forward.

Do you know/ Can you tell us if its us trying to convince the player to move or us trying to convince the club to let them go??? or Both??

In 2018 we had Hogan, Weidemann, TMac and Garlett as our key forwards.

Today we have Weidemann and TMac.....what is missing?

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
