You can't request a trade if no clubs are interested in recruiting you

I’m not sure he would go as a ruck.  I don’t think his body would hold up. 
I’d have him at the Dees in a heartbeat

Laughable by Oscar. 

More chance he'll have to fill out a delisted free agency form then get a trade.. 

Happy to get rid of both.

Omac would be lucki to be recruited by an aus kick side.

TBF, he's out of contract and may have just said he'd like to try for more opportunity elsewhere.

which would be quite understandable

given the quality of key position defenders in the league i can definitely see him getting an opportunity elsewhere

Trade table - Pruess, OMac, TMac, ANB, Smith

Delist/Retire - Jones, Jetta, KK, Bradkte, Dunkleyor Brown, Wagner x 2 

Targets - Moore, mature Sml Fwd (Bruest?)

Role Changes - Harmes back to mid/tagging role; Viney to be split between fwd pockett and mid; if no trade for TMAC send to CHB and Tomlinson to wing

List changes - Promote Lockhart and Bennell; Demote Neitschke to Rookie

Why would you trade our back-up ruck and also de-list our development ruck?

And if you're going to de-list a Category B development ruck after a couple of seasons then why ever bother putting one on the list in the first place?

[dtrinh 71]

Pruess:

Would be interesting to see the trade value of Preuss. With Jackson coming in he seems like he will be the second ruckman from now on. He is valuable as a second ruckman on the list but would probably be valuable for a team like GWS who is desperate need of a first ruckman.

And no doubt we'll be picking up a portion of TMacs salary. Who is in charge of contracts, Mahoney I assume? For all his ability to get things done at the trade table I think his willingness to hand out exorbitant contracts that hamstring our list management is a massive cross against him. Not to mention his management of our assistant coaches/footy department.

It makes sense for them to seek a trade considering they are obviously considered no more than depth for us moving forward. I mean if OMac is behind Smith and TMac is behind Brown they'll see nothing but games at windswept Casey in their futures if they stay with us. Only problem is not sure who would be interested in them.

[BW511 2,669]

I’m sure this decision of the McDonald’s didn’t come today, hence why we’ve seen little of them. Good result for both parties
 

Would hope we can move to a more agile taller forward line. Gunston would be number one target for me and Mihocek close second. One of those two and a silky small would make us a very different team next year

Would be great to see the back of Melksham

If Max were to go down next year (touch wood), would we really want to give the job to Jacko? That's a fair load for a 2nd year player. Isn't this the main reason why we got Preuss from Norf, as ruck insurance?

Having said that, if GWS did offer up something that improved the needs of our list it would certainly be tempting. 

I'm in the camp that thinks Preuss can still improve and hold down an AFL first ruck role

Unless he wants out, I would keep him

i think that's the thing tho - he should be a starting ruck somewhere

he'll likely never be that at the dees

he said when he joined us that it was as much about 'learning' from the best as much as anything

he'll definitely have value you'd think

Straight swap for Cockatoo. if we can get him fit he'd be a good player for us, Cats need a ruckman like Press desperately.

I would let Jacko take the ruck and bring in Brown as the 3rd tall with Weid and Petty.

Petty was training with the forwards before he done his groin so I expect him to be a forward.
