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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
