Phillips? 

I think so. But I am hearing that it might just be a strange one from left field.

Personally I have trouble thinking it might happen but I will put it out there for reaction.

TMac paying 150K pa plus pick 18 for Phillips.

    Would we trade 18 or 19 for Pies 2021 first rounder?

    Considering Nick Daicos anticipated to go Top 5 next season

    Doesn't make sense to me - Collingwood push out Treloar and Phillips due to salary cap issues and take in TMac (and pick 18) and pay 500-600k for him the next 2 years?

    For us, it clears our salary cap... but that's only needed if we're bringing someone in.  Not sure if Phillips is a big enough fish to justify it?  

    Having said that, I think we need a winger badly - don't have faith that Baker is the answer so maybe this is the price?

    not a chance. why would we trade our future first for those 2 picks, to only send them back to the pies for their future 1st round.

    Yeah, I don't like it. Phillips has been out if their team, he's not worth a first and a player, even if one is a salary dump

    Because we keep one of them and I anticipate Pies will slide next season that's why.

    Gets us back into next years forst round and I'm backing us to finish above the Pies in 2021

    Change that to Treloar and I'd be happier. 18 I think is too much for Phillips giving they're trying to get rid of him. Guess Tmac balances that out to a degree.

    Maybe, but I'd be disappointed if that's what it ended up being.

    GWS have shown clubs they can match RFAs. Unless next year is for a UFA, we'll be in trouble

    We're basically helping out Collingwood with their NGA whilst betting ourselves against a team that still finished top 6 this year. Doesnt seem like a very high reward. Pies wouldnt agree either.

    Phillips has been ruled out by Mahoney..

    It looks like we aren't landing a back up ruckman with 30 minutes to go in the trade period. We'll most likely pick up a delisted free agent. Could Sam (sauce) Jacobs be a chance with us next year? He was interviewed last week and mentioned he still has a year or two left in the tank.

    Mahoney said they won't go for a backup ruck with Tmac staying on the list.

     

    Think trade for a player must be a chance as why did they do the deal with the lions otherwise?

    • Thanks 1

    A mate with no contacts so just his idea that Jackson hasn't signed to extend his contract while Kossie & Rivers have so he thinks he's probably out the door end of next season in which case we'll get a first rounder or two for him. Plus rumours about Oliver wanting out won't go away so maybe 2 first rounders for him as well next year.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #42 Aidan Johnson

      The VFL premiership player was recruited from Werribee to alleviate Melbourne’s forward line woes and give a chop out in the ruck, but he managed only five senior matches in his first season at the club. At times, he was a dominant force at VFL level.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #44 Luker Kentfield

      An exciting young key forward, Kentfield was selected in the 2024 mid-season draft but has yet to make his AFL debut. He was sidelined by a severe bout of pneumonia over the summer, which consequently limited his pre-season. Upon his return a month into the season, he commenced in defence but ultimately impressed with his progress at Casey, particularly in the latter part of the season as a strong marking goal kicking forward.

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.
