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)

  • Quote

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
