Trade Targets

[Sir Windsor 219]

Dan Currie just walked into my workplace (consultant). Tall lad, I can ask if he’s interested in joining MFC 😃

Macrae the most interesting player of the trade period. Only averaged 12% (!) CBA's this year.

Cooked? Bevo'd? Both?

[adonski 12,903]

Hope we do the Macrae/Daniel double for maximum melts

If only Lobb hadn’t have come into form late - we could have gone for the trifecta

He is on par with Trac for disposal efficiency over career

Unfortunately, that's a con not a pro.

Treacle slow one position player in a game increasingly demanding speed and spread.

Both are cooked. Seriously.  Answer is NO.  They are on big money with reduced output.  
Have we not learnt anything? 
Salary dump strategy of guys like Hunter & Billings is going backwards!!!

Is Adam Cerra Gettable?

Was brought up in mid week tackle as a name to keep an eye on potentially.

Decent fit for us, 5 hammies in 12 months is a massive red flag though. Might help the Blues get Houston if they offload him.

Nah, I was all for Cerra pre Carlton, but not only has he failed to live up to expectation Inhad on him, he's constantly injured.

The Carlton mid I'd like is Walsh, but he too has injury problems and they'd never let him go. He'd be perfect in our system.

I think Trac and the review into FD will demand our system changes, makes it hard to know who will suit us in 2025.

I think we need a Walsh or Andy Brayshaw type who is ultra consistent and dependable, not necessarily a game breaker but just does the hard/team orientated stuff each week.

Walsh would work in any system because he's a machine runner.

Having Lingers and Walsh in the same team would be a dream, and probably mean we could tweak our system even more.

Is that a him issue or a Carlton issue though? He’s certainly not the only player whose been plagued by soft tissues at that club 

He was great for them last year when he was on the park - worth asking the question and doing some due diligence

Wonder if West Coast have any regrets about not taking that offer. That’s an enormous haul they’ve knocked back.

Curtin, Tholstrup and top 5 pick this year plus change.

Imagine if Reid wants to go home after 3 years.

Once the trade period washes through, delisted free agents like Matt Taberner and Seb Ross should be considered as depth options considering how thin our list was this year.

Taberner and Ross are both 31. I'd rather go for the best state league talent with a hunger to succeed than washed up players like these 2.

Taberner is the ideal replacement for Schache - wait a minute 🤔🤔
