TMac on the Trade Table?

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

The one positive in looking at trading Tom is that he has the capacity to play at both ends of the ground, so I can see why both GWS and the Swans would be interested. 

And as you say, flipping him for a nothing pick suits me just fine,esoe ially if adding Brown is the outcome. It's a big win for us if that occurs.

    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. 

    Can see the attraction for the Swans.  Port seem very interested in Alir Alir and TMac has the flexibility to play his role: back, fwd, relief ruck.

    why would Tom McDonald even be surprised? the trash he served up this year was just that bad that he didn't deserve a second chance

    Agree,

    Longmire is big on players being versatile, so I can see the appeal there for them. I like tmac, but he needs a fresh start just like Ben Brown needs a fresh start with us.

    Why do people keep referring to Tom Mcdonald as being able to play in the backline? He showed consistently that he doesn't have the decision making skills to make it as a defender.  And thats largely why he made it as a forward as he doesn't have to make decisions. just mark and kick for goal.

    He also went to see Jordan Peterson and was a guest on an IPA podcast, in case anyone needs further proof of his terrible decision making.

    He needs to drop 7 kilos, get super fit and play for us. I’d like to see him and Weed running to the wings and kicking it to Brown with Fritz, Petracca as other options and then a fleet of classy kids and small forwards crumbing

    Sydney have a different game plan to us.  More man-on-man and less zone.  Longmire tends to use his sweepers to get the ball out of d50 rather than rely on the talls to get it out.  So TMac's kicking wouldn't be such an issue.

    The IPA isnt a political side, it is Gina Rinehart and a small group of friends lobbying for their own gain. It promotes climate change denialism and lobbies to make insulting someone based on their race legal.

    If TMac has decided the IPA is on his, or anyone elses side, then it's a poor decision.

    Well, it's Murdoch too. Sir Keith started the IPA. And I'd argue it is political. The majority of the Government are IPA members, along with Bolt, that rock spider and that traitor trying to broker a better trade deal for his country of birth over the country he lead and still derives a pension from.

    I hope that's one thing we can all agree on, politics and economics aside! And also, when getting behind the dees, none of that stuff should matter either.

    Sorry to derail the thread, happy to keep it on TMac and how we can offload his salary or at least get value from his performance!

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
