@Dr evil@Lord Nev @Chook in Perth @CHF

Just interested to know if any of you have heard anything around us now chasing Tom Phillips with Smith out of the picture?

Thanks

It's already been reported a few times that we offered Phillips a deal at the same time or roughly the same time as Smith. It's matter of what we have to get the deal done, given Phillips has a year to run on his contract, which was not the case with Smith.

    the big advantage of smith was that he was a 'free' acquisition

    now we'll have to give to get

    if we can still manage to do t mac / o mac / preuss out for brown / phillips we're, theoretically, #winning as we've added two best 22 players for 3 players in the 23-30 range

    trade out.  Tmc OMc Preuss

    trade in. Brown, Phillips, Narkle 

    That would be a winner trade period.

    Players like Phillips and Treloar who are being pushed out by their clubs, will be cheaper trades than their true worth, otherwise they will not be chased and will cause salary headaches by staying where they are..

    Narkle, Clark and Constable (is he still there?) are of interest to me from Geelong.

    Clark is either staying at Geelong or heading to his home state of WA. Constable is a pure inside mid of which we already have too many. Narkle would be handy

    I'm staggered how clubs sign up multiple big names and still keep their cap integrity. Clearly something fishy happening and Gill is doing this:

    According to Damo Jaidyn Stephenson is looking for a new home. Would slot in nicely as a high half forward upgrading Melksham.

    Something along the lines of Tmac + future second for Stevo + Phillips could be of interest.

    Would love to have Clark ahead of Phillips and most others named on here, Brown excepted, being the key forward.

    IMO we should have a real hard go at Clark. He could play wing or half back and then we can forget some other lesser players.

    Pressure is building on Geelong to come up with a pay rise to keep breakout star Sam Menegola beyond the end of the next season.

    The 28-year-old had a career-best year in 2020, making his first All Australian squad as the Cats reached the grand final.

    But his future will be clouded until he puts pen to paper on a new deal, with 7NEWS Perth’s Ryan Daniels reporting rival clubs are standing by to chase Menegola.

    Geelong signed Hawthorn wingman Isaac Smith, who turns 32 in December, on Friday.

    As part of their tilt at a premiership they will also add GWS forward Jeremy Cameron and North Melbourne midfielder Shaun Higgins by the end of the trade period.

    But while those additions were seen as reasonable given Gary Ablett has retired and the Cats had salary cap space previously earmarked to re-sign Tim Kelly, Menegola’s emergence was not so predictable.

    Not seen anything in the press, but a player I would target is Bailey Dale from the Dogs. Very quick and good overhead and on the ground. He’s not as skilled or slippery as Bailey Fritsch, but he offers good defensive pressure and would fit in any forward mix.

    May as well get Stepho and add Jesse to the forward  mix and they could have a two for the price if one hooker Hub  deal If we are Covid again in 2021!!

    Blokes a gun, would be a fantastic pick up!

    Any love at all for Josh Caddy. If we miss out on other targets like a Phillips, Narkle etc. would we ask the Tigers about Caddy’s availability.  He seems on the fringe at the Tigers but is a proven player and goalkicking half forward.  I’m not sure about his off field behavior but thought I’d raise the question.

    Clark / Menengola from Geelong should be our number 1 targets. 
    How much cap space can Geelong have... press hard for some of their quality who may be getting unders.

    If we're not all over Menegola there is something wrong.

    What's a bigger disaster for the cats, signing Smith, (who i still believe is coming to the Dees) and losing Menegola. or not starting Dangerfield in the middle at the start of the 3rd quarter in the grand final?

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
