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.

    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.

    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.

    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: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
