With that logic....

Would you take a second rounder for Tmac?

You'd just about trade the whole team for a 2nd rounder this year GCDee (Max & Clarry aside)

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

GWS would trade a similar player to Wright for a third or second rounder. Just look at Scully and Patton.

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.

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

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

Is that a trick question?

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??

Could have gotten Patton for a future 4th rounder. Honestly how the feck does Hawthorn do that?! Daylight robbery every single year.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
