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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
