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.

In reality, based on his current form and his place in the GC Suns pecking order, Peter Wright would be worth a 3rd rounder.

A 2nd rounder would be fair.

GC would ask for a 1st rounder.

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??

Goals?

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

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
