Does Clarkson comes as part of the package

I'd like 40-50 good games from Smith.  That would be highly beneficial on a wing opposite Langdon.

As a supporter, why would I care if he's given 2 years or 3 ?  What's it to me (his length of contract) if he gives 40-50 good games ?

The 'good' and 'if' being the sticking points.

I would be very happy with  40 -50 good games.

I don't think he is likely to give us that many. I think we will get 15 -20 good games and about 5 - 10 below average to average games.

Would love Smith on a wing; confidently getting into space and making good decisions into the forward line.

I think he’ll be a great pick up, hopefully we can get it done.  ?

Goodwin? Is there a single player in our forward 6 who'd get a game in either of the two teams in the GF? I think not, Fritsch might be the only one.

Luke Jackson.

How many Port or Brisbane forwards would displace current Richmond or Geelong forwards?

Putting your balls on the line there, Dr Evil.

 

Yuck. An elderly player on the downhill slope looking for a fat pension cheque. Hopefully not on crazy money, so we can actually re-sign our good young players, but who knows with Mahoney.

Why bother posting if you're just going to whinge and make non factual statements?

Is there a dumbass award I'm not aware of on here?

A proven quality wingman from a successful club on I suggest a moderate wage but longer than preferred contract at no draft or player cost.  To fill a significant gap in our list for year one, year two whilst unknown options compete for the position  and I suggest develop our youth at Casey our provides good depth in  year 3. This or  a 2 year deal that he doesn’t take with us banking on Baker becoming an ok wingman in 2021 or us trading for a suitable player (cant think of any other OOC or FA) at a a higher cost.

Of course. Why do you think the cap is tight?

This guy’s important to us. Fingers crossed , this happens.

 

Warming to the debate on one of the current threads on this forum Trade & Draft in the Time of COVID re: MFC as a destination club. We think Demonland may be a destination footy blog for members of the sports medical profession as well,  with the good Doctors Evil and Gonzo immediately springing to mind. Sure there are others out there too but memory presently eludes us...

Smith would be an improvement on current 22 and as a FA costs nothing.

3 yrdeal where maybe only get two good years is okay. 10 guys on bottom of list give you next to nothing each year!

I think it’s plainly obvious that we won’t win a flag unless we strengthen the quality of our wings. We saw what an amazing difference Langdon made this year, but he can’t do it alone. Our wings have been a rotating retirement village for unsuitable players.

Yes it would be lovely to get another 25 year old gun wingman like Langdon, but we need to be realistic about our salary cap and the amount of players we have out of contract next year that we desperately want to keep. 
Smith might be a short gap filler but he’s proven and can’t do worse than the other options currently on our list. He will cost virtually nothing in terms of cap space and won’t compromise our draft position, so who can bloody dispute that?
