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? 1 Quote

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. 2 Quote
Adam The God 30,706 Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited October 23, 2020 by A F 2 Quote

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.

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. 3 Quote

Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 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. 2 Quote

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. 2 1 Quote

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. Quote

old55 23,860 Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 With Smith to Geelong this thread needs to be on page 1. Brown + Polec for 2021 1st? 2 1 Quote

spirit of norm smith 16,677 Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 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. 1 Quote

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. Quote

Fat Tony 5,337 Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 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. Quote
