Bring Andrew Mac to where he belongs and give GCS the handful of rubbish late picks they used for him and not a pick 5 where they matched the bid.

Seems fair to me as they AFL changed the rules in his draft year and are about to change them back only 2 years later.

Of course it won't happen...

I’m normally in the “let’s go to the draft” camp but I’d happily give up a couple of good picks to bring Mac back.Only had a nearly game yesterday but you can see his potential. Can play forward, back or ruck and is only going to improve. Would suit our needs perfectly. Not as mobile as Jackson but would dovetail with Max beautifully. 
Would also mean we would only need to bring in big meat and spuds type of ruck when Max does finally retire. 
 

Only one year left on his contract, we can bring in his brother this year if it helps. We would have to make him a massive offer but should have the cap space to be able.

@dazzledavey36 said in the post-game thread that we should be thinking about targeting GC players in the wake of yet another disappointing Suns season. I agree - surely whatever lure Hardwick had 12 months ago has worn off to an extent. 

Is Bailey Humphrey truly happy up there? Fiorini? Does Alex Davies have another level in him which a change of scenery might bring out?

I’m far from the most knowledgeable on their players but there has to be some talent on their list that isn’t getting played. 

Lukosius - he’s not for me 

Fiorini - he’s ok depth and can play inside and out but he’s slow

Davies - he’s interesting. Untested as a full time mid. Big body. 

Joel Jeffrey - interesting. Super talent, can play at both ends. Is he a serious footballer?

Sean Lemmens for a year in the back pocket so we’ve got an actual specialist in that role?

Most of the rest aren’t doing much in the 2’s.

Davies is probably the standout option.

I endorse this comment, Hero Lucifers.  :D

Humphrey looked totally disinterested to me yesterday. We'd want to know he has the psychological side right.

I pay next to no attention to other clubs, so humour me please on whether there are any realistic options for somebody who is competent playing ruck and forward so JVR can stay put and concentrate on kicking goals. Not necessarily Peter Wright, but somebody of that ilk.

I would also take Mac in a heartbeat.

The bit about giving junk picks was rather tongue in cheek; a dig at the AFL.

not really

not that they want to give up at any rate

In the unlikely scenario we trade all of Petracca , Oliver and Viney. How do we go into 2025 with a competitive midfield , that already lacks depth ? 

Do we go into complete rebuild mode or do we look to bring in some midfielders from other clubs as well as use some high end draft picks ? 

Our midfield would lack established A grade talent unless we were able to pry a star midfielder out of another club. Or do we just rebuild around Rivers, Mcvee , Tholstrup and hope that Sparrow might improve his output ? 

Most likely we won’t trade all of them and maybe none of them. However, I don’t think you want players at your club that don’t want to be there no matter how good those players are. I am fascinated how we approach this trade and draft period. It’s so important that we get it right

I don’t think this hypothetical is even worth discussing… no offense

I think any trades of midfielders out has to come with trades of playable midfielders in, even if we are comfortable using the picks for depth and being a couple of injuries away from somewhat a rebuilding side as we were this year.

He has his party trick all set for Kings Birthday.

 

Lynch makes a lot of sense… huge money owed to him on a back-ended contract so we’d need to cough something decent up if we want them to help pay.

Rachele on the outs?

ANB for him and our second rounder (that crom got for McAdam) and they'll STILL be winning 

I’m so sad Nibbs is leaving

split pick 7, give one of the picks we get for it for him?

Then the other for Houston. 2025 would certainly look better with those two in our team.

  • 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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
