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

    I actually think if he trims down and makes a move back to CHB he will be a great pick up for another club.

    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.

    No it's not 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!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
