They must be planning on getting rid of T Mac if the Gunston stuff is real

Would free up a lot of coin too

I think its more that Weid is uncontracted

    Or TMac, still unhappy about last year and perhaps playing second fiddle to Brown, wants to move on....

    Really?

    would you pay $700k for TMac?

    He's not going anywhere unless he takes a 2 x $500k deal

    Agree, he is contracted, will want his cash, and no one else is silly enough to pay it. 2 x $500 is a smart deal

    We can put to bed any scenario involving trading Gus, Jackson or Rivers. That will not happen, unless those players come out and request a trade.

    While Gus may not be highly rated on these forums, he is extremely highly rated at the club and is part of the leadership group. Zero chance he is getting the flick. In fact, I would suggest we are looking at Cerra to enable Gus to play more time on ball.

    Not sure I agree. Weideman is leaving due to no opportunity, why would another key forward want to come to us? Also, you can do more than one trade/draft selection per year. There's players leaving, future picks, free agents, the draft.. A lot of options.

      

      

    Come on mate. Seriously. Bit of hyperbole here. If you think trading in one player and potentially losing one who wants to leave will 'tear us apart' then I have some absolutely shocking news about how many list changes there are every year...

     

    Think weid not locking in a spot is more of an indication of where he is at and not the strength of our key fwds, I doubt very much if anyone currently performing as a kpp on a senior list on a consistent basis would have any trouble keeping one of tmac or Ben brown out. 

    If you look at our list we have the whole best 22 and then some locked in for next year and beyond, the only players yet to sign on are not in the team on a regular basis. I don’t foresee any one under contract asking to go in this years trade period unless we push them out. To get Cerra a top 10 player would need to be traded like a viney or Langdon or Salem or a young high pick like Jackson or Pickett. Which means a zero net gain. No fringe player would bring in enough to get a deal done even with picks we have. If it could great but I’m trying to be realistic.

    Yeah, the club has done a good job at re-signing the key players, but let's be honest, contracts don't mean a lot these days. Nothing to stop a contracted player requesting a trade, it happens nearly every offseason now.

    But again, I'm not advocating we force anyone out to get Cerra, I'm talking about the possibility someone requests a trade and that trade ends up helping to facilitate the Cerra deal.

    Sometimes your hands are tied somewhat with trades, but I think we've done pretty well with making the best out of those situations as a club.

    I think I've said it elsewhere, but I'm interested in how we handle the trade period now that Mahoney is no longer around.

    Do the people who remain have the same skill and cunning when it comes to trading, or were the people in the background doing the back and forth for him?

    With our seemingly crappy draft hand, it will be a minor miracle if we can get Cerra in without a player of some note requesting a trade out of the club.

    I trust Tim Lamb, but I guess we'll see.

    Yeah, from the outside it seemed like Mahoney was a trade period master. Was ahead of the game with the points system and trading future picks.

    Wonder who will handle the trade period dealings this year? I'm assuming Richo, obviously in consultation with Lamb.

    Same. Mahoney had a remarkable capacity to turn what we want into what we need. Hopefully he left his playbook lying around

    @dazzledavey36 🤔

    Surely Cerra would be crazy to see Carlton as a potential destination?

    Board level and football department just too unstable.

    Apologies guys, I'm gonna hold fire for now. Only very very sketchy rumours at the moment, really would not be worth posting. If things get any more solid I will post for sure.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
