The thing that St Kilda did well was they went and recruited a set, a set they needed to improve their side and fill their needs. They needed outside run, they got Hill, they needed a inside player, they h=got Jones, they need a ruckman, they got Ryder, they needed a defensive key, they got Marshall. 

We did to a degree with Langdon and Tomlinson, but Tomlinson has not worked... we need to bit the bullet, we need to get a tall Fwd and some more runners. No Mucking around, we just have to do it, get Smith, or Phillips, and get Brown. 

Huge month coming up for the club..  Smith may want another flag, going to get that at Geelong before us, Phillips is Langdon.. so why not throw everything at him, Brown takes the best defender, teh best tall defender, allows Weid more freedom. Just get him. 

I understand its all dependant on other clubs wanting Tom and what we get for Pruess and thats fair enough.

Jones is just as much outside if not more than in IMO.

Tom Phillips should see an easier pathway at the Demons than Freo. 
 

still in Melbourne 

not on a 4 hour flight every fortnight 

plays on the MCG* 

Dees have left side wing ready and available 
 

Surely we can sell the MFC

Screw Smith if he gets to the Cats. 
 

Phillips is the one that’s the fit for us in the left hand side wing for the next 5-6 years. 
 

Make the call. 
 

MFC Future 2nd round 2021 pick gets it done.

We certainly have an opening on the wing. Particularly for someone that once kicked 15 goals in a year  - which doesn't sound like much but Langdon only kicked 2 this year despite a very good season.

Couldn’t agree more.  Everyone knows my view. Phillips gives us 5-6 years minimum. He’s the perfect fit and we can guarantee him game time in his preferred decision. We can help the Pies salary issue. It’s a win win. I’d be shouting out that he is our target. Make him feel wanted.  A future 2021 pick gets it done.

Plus he won't even have to change his commute into training (well H&A season at least).

I like the idea of getting him, I think he fits our side perfectly.

Feel exactly the same. Only difference being I'd try to keep all 2021 picks if possible.  This years draft is very compromised by the high number of Academy, Father/Son and every other draft lurk going. Next year not so, and there will be a whole bunch of kids unseen this year that would have rocketed up the order given the chance to play. So some extra gems in what has already been described as (yeah, I know) a great crop.

I was happy to accommodate Smith  non the less, but i have to say a 25 y.o wingman is better than a 32 y.o wingman.

Divert all attention to Phillips Dees. Forget Smith now he's obviously having second thoughts, hearts not in it  get the player who is hungry for a premiership(s).

Pies would probably entertain a future pick as they’ll be keen to bank points to cover Nick Daicos bids, which are expected to be pretty high.

So, with Smith out of play, much of our attention may now turn to Phillips.

What do we think it would take to pry him out of Collingwood?  As they are happy to trade him to free up some room, would a third rounder do the trick, or would they expect more from us?

We'd be doing Collingwood a massive favour by getting Phillips' salary off their books. Surely they can't ask for more than a third round pick.

Its looking like a salary dump to me.

We could swap TMac with Phillips +/- whatever is needed to get it done.  They have the same manager which should help negotiations.

Problem with that Luci is that we are trying to get rid of TMac to clear cap space for Ben Brown. Collingwood, as we know, have even worse cap issues than us. 
 

PS. I’m all for getting Phillips though

KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
