✅ 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 

Our colours are red and blue. They’re pretty cool colours.

If we can’t sell this over playing in purple for an entire season, we’re pretty bloody hopeless.

This alone should convince this kid to want to choose the Dees over the Purple Headed Anchors.

Those highlights weren't that impressive. Kicks seemed to float and didn't see much hard running to present an option.

Amazing yes those floating kicks all floated through fir a GOAL Bingo! And in the centre of the goal too 

and

The others  either were goalsquare goals or pinpoint passes to leading forwards.

My you are hard to please admittedly gut running didn't feature but his did Tom get from the wing to goal square ? Running I presume and as good as Ed Langdon is he Doesn't do that ( except miss from 15 m out in Cairns)

no Tom will do but Narkle would also be a good get and Jordan Clark a great pick.

Surely the biggest issue with this trade is the Pies salary space is already spread thin. We will likely pony up a portion of his first year but can the Pies squeeze him in?

[spirit of norm smith 16,615]

The trade works for both clubs but I agree I think we will end up paying some $$$ of Tmc contract.

I am aware that doesn’t matter anymore - just a good story if it happens.

Not sure about that...

I have my Phillips’ mixed up. 
 

Apologies to all! It’s not a good story.

Good thing that doesn’t matter, amirite?

And can people attending Caulfield Grammar in the last decade with the same name please be more conscious of their impact on the ill informed?

Assuming Brown is secured I would be turning all my attention to Tom Phillips, including picking brother Ed up from the Saints on the way through who’s is OOC.  If not and we can clear some space with Tmac any half decent offer for Polec should be next port of call.

Narkle also interests me as a worthily OOC option as well as any potential way to get Jack Sinclair out of the saints. More run and outside polish is needed once we land the big fella.

 

Sinclair will definitely provide the Polish your after ?

Is Phillips a better recruit than Polec? My read is Phillips is a marginally better athlete and better tackler, but Polec is a better kick. But I admit I haven’t watched either of them closely enough to give a proper view.

I know little about Phillips but i think 90% of the comp is a better kick than Polec

My view appears to be Philips is better 2 way runner, Polec is the faster player, Polec the better kick, Phillips the better bloke.

Does that make Tom Browne an Israelite or fanny by the gaslight?

It's hard to know. It's another conundrum in this thread of conflicting perspectives...

Thanks DD36. Tom Browne meets Captain Obvious once again. I just hope the Dees hierarchy have half as much sense as Dland posters. We were on board this weeks ago. 
 

Fellow posters and Dees fanatics- just out of interest, what would be offer for Phillips. 
 

? future 2021 MFC 2nd round pick ?  ?

? straight swap with Tmc and we pay some of Tmc contract $ ??

? 2020 MFC pick that we get for Preuss from GWS roughly - pick 34-35 by the time ?

? 2020 MFC pick that we get for Hannan from Dogs - roughly pick 50 ?

 

 

[MurDoc516 1,529]

Phillips seems like a no brainer. He is better then what we have on the wing no matter what because we only have one winger in Langdon.

Also he's younger and i'm sure the money we had planned for Smith is much more than what Phillips would be taking right now.

laughable to suggest that this deal is even. mcdonald is a washed up 28 year old, Stephenson is a 21 year old that has showed alot of promise. Even Buddy had his off field issues

stepho is on big wage 500k till 2023 and they are questioning his commitment and off field stuff, they need to sacrifice some players and with young daics in next year and both brown brothers they have replacements

[manny100 1,620]

Throw the kitchen sink at Phillips and Brown. 2nd round kitchen sinks - no more.  We desperately need some more outside skill.

[TRIGON 4,792]

@Unleash Hell, you suggest that "@Ethan Tremblay = Tom Browne"...good to see that blasphemy is alive and well on Demonland (it's natural home).

I think we can get a bargain with Phillips and Brown. They aren’t wanted by their clubs.
Time to turn the screws. 

[John Crow Batty 8,880]

89 games with 44 goals. Averages 22 disposals a game and 2.5 tackles. Had a fairly ordinary season this year by his standards in this disrupted and truncated season. I’d jump all over him. He would be a great get and only 24 years is yet to hit his prime.
