TMac on the Trade Table?

Straight swap for Phillips could be on the cards, both go into the trade period with reasonable contracts hanging over their heads and it's known that the pies want a more mobile forward and we're after a wing. So both cover a need for the respective clubs, while costings shouldn't be too much of an issue. Both have a few question marks hanging over them, but if they are able to get sorted could end up being a classic win-win trade.

    Surely McDonald has more trade value than Phillips.

    Hard to trust his sources.

    He was wrong TWICE in regards to Oliver and Houli.

    I hope this source this time is true

    The Swans could do with a big body to protect their young keys.

    Think I saw somewhere that it was GWS. They’ve said they aren’t interested in Brown, maybe we could work T Mac into Preuss deal.

    T-Mac stopped in to use the facilities of another team whilst in Sydney ? As long as he left a big jobby and didn't flush it's fine by me.

    Heard about interest over a month ago, long before it hit the press, so it might have some legs. Heard from the Pies end, not ours.

    SEN saying he might stay (not sure how we do that and take Brown).  GWS showing new interest in TMac with Cameron's departure.

    Edit:  would be interesting to see how a Preuss/TMac trade could be leveraged to off load all TMac's salary and take a more moderate draft pick in return for the two.

    GWS makes some sense, in that they will have the room to take him on and a spot in their side with both Cameron and Corr moving on.

    No idea what the club wants in return, but I'm sure we can package McDonald and Preuss together and get something we could on trade to North for Brown in return.

    GWS are interested because they might give us an inflated pick but the MFC will still need to pick up a good whack of TMacs wage.  The way players are leaving GWS they are going to have a few first and second round picks, they have really struggled to manage their salary cap to get a player like Tom with MFC paying some of his wage is a bonus for them.

    Buddle Tmac and Preuss up and go after the pick 7 they will get from Carlton, might need to add in a few pick swaps in the second or third round to make this happen but it could.

    I don't care where he goes as long as he goes I want Ben.Brown.

    There is the slim possibility that we sign Ben Brown, and then Tmac re-discovers his 2018 orm and we suddenly have a great forward 2 punch combo. 

  • Quote

    I assume we'll agree to trade T Mac after Brown has made his decison and not before.

    Would be a bit foolish by the club to have neither on the list, unless they're relying on Mitch Brown to get his 15 marks and 2 Brownlow votes a game (per round 18)

    Someone suggested the value of the picks in return for T Mac might be reduced the more the other team is prepared to pay of his contract with us.

    and i have absolutely no issues with that at all, a clean break is all we're after here so the closer we can get to that salary wise the better

    If this GWS story is true massive for Dees. We should be moving heaven and earth to get Brown. TMac has been a great servant but he is part of our problem not part of our solution

    The swans are also showing some interest in T’Mac. They wanted him when he was out of contract. Again we will be getting very little compensation by way of a trade but it’s a salary dump situation.

    Doesn't worry me that we are getting little back. The compensation out of this trade will be the signing of Ben Brown.

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
