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. 

Grain of salt needed given the source, but........

GWS or Sydney?

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.
 

Buddy is pretty much retired

Is be amazed if anyone traded for him.

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.

Sam Edmund just confirmed interest from GWS on SEN.

Makes sense. They might also go after brown?

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. 

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)

Would be great to get him off the books.  Going to suck if we are stuck with him playing for Casey.

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.
