Selections from an article in the Herald Sun... The Demons have shown some interest but are unlikely to part with more than a late draft pick to nab the speedster. Melbourne is also not prep

Randomly looking through North's bigfooty page and saw this.. Someone rang up Adelaide radio yesterday saying he’s spoken to Jared’s brother who had told him Jared was going to be traded to Melbo

He made it up. For example, we're paying Goodwin $46 million a year.

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.

With Smith to Geelong this thread needs to be on page 1.

Brown + Polec for 2021 1st?

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.

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.

What happens to Polec's contract?

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.

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

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
