We'll be spending 125% of the cap if we try and pull that one off.

    I’ll freely admit to not knowing in detail how TPP and caps etc work but if GWS don’t have to spend on Cameron then they pay Tmacs contract should he end up there. 
    If we don’t have to pay Tmacs contract, we have enough cap to throw at Polec and Brown?

    Totally agree Steve - I was more taking the pizz with that post as Brown will be on decent coin and we know Polec is on a large contract.

    I reckon we'll have to get all of Tom's wages off our books and get North to pay some of Polec's contract if we're any chance.

    If we can get picks for Phillips, I reckon he's the cheaper (with less baggage) version to compliment Smith.

    I'd of course take all three if the cap was not a reality, but it is and we need to find a small forward or two at other clubs as well.

    I assume we're putting a healthy contract extension in front of Oliver too and even Petracca. There's only so much money to go around.

    Yes please to all three.

    I have never been huge on Polec but he could get his [censored] together and be a gun on the wing for us.

    GWS doing us a huge favour by taking T mac.

    They will have a massive hole in their TPP now with so many wanting out and need to pay someone - draftee's unlikely to resolve the issue for them, - I think they are well served for KPF even with Cameron leaving, but they may want some insurance there and down back with Corr going as well.

    Why do people think we're going to take 2 wingman? If there are 3 that are available/getable we'd only be going after one wouldn't we. Realistically and not in a Dees fans fever dream of having an abundance of the once rare wingman.

    I bet that's exactly what each of the three [censored] clubs he's been at have thought.

    He needs to stay very clear of MFC, absolute plague of a player.

    Hannan and Oscar were both on reasonable coin i believe so both leaving would take a bit of pressure off things, Tmac is the big one, he's on A grader $$ i reckon if the Giants were willing to take on his salary we'd ask for very little in a trade.

    Getting two wingman allows us to play one off half back and one on the opposite wing to Langdon. The reason I like the idea of a third new wingman is improving our ball movement playing one forward of centre on a half forward flank. We'd also have genuine depth for the wing position all of a sudden.

    As for ages, Smith won't be around for long, so having Phillips and Polec to compliment Langdon, would give us 5+ years of service on our wings.

    Would we be stretching the friendship if we got them to take Oscar as well? I mean it would keep the brothers together for starters.

    Moving TMac on without having to pay any of his wages next year would be an unbelievable outcome. Asking for something in return would be really pushing our luck.

    Just not sure if Polec will cost too much ($ not picks).

    While I'm all for getting Brown and Polec in the one transaction, no way would I give up a future 1st rounder for them!

    McDonald to Essendon or Collingwood for a 3rd rounder and use that pick with Pick 23 to North for Brown and Polec is a bit more like it.

    What happens to Polec's contract?

  • Quote

    No. If Phillips is available, then he’s cheaper in terms of draft picks # and contract $$$.  Polec still has question marks over why he is looking at a 4th club now.  I’m a No on Polec as it stands today.

    Pick 18 for Brown and Polec?  I could be OK with that  ?

    seriously though, we don't need Polec's wages and I don't rate him.  I'd prefer we do the second rounder for Brown as a stand alone deal.

    North will have salary cap to burn. They don't need to get Polec's salary off their books, they'd rather pay some of it and get early picks.

    Potentially could be 2021 1st and TMac for Brown and Polec, with a chunk of TMac’s and Polec’s wages paid by North. 

    As much as first round picks are important, cap space is the most important asset in a world with free agency.

    Norf likely to have to pay for some of his salary if he moves ...

    And the GWS list manager says they are not interested in Tom. Love this time of year.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
