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

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
