I wonder how hard the eagles or Dockers will come for our P9… Freo might offer 14 and a F1. Can’t see the eagles doing the same offer….

Toss up between Smith and Langford at 5 such different players. I think I would lean towards Langford has just a hint of Bont about him. Smith would likely go to the Tigers at 6. We would be left with either Smillie, Travagalia or Reid at 9 after the 2 Saints selections.

Don’t we really need 2nd and 3rd round picks for next year for the points for White?

This situation is only a [censored] show because of the over the top media reports. I have full faith in the club to make the right call regarding Clarry, if he is traded there would be a very valid reason, especially if he is traded away for such little trade value. If we think we can make it work we will get our champion player back. This is the same football department that netted us 3 top four finishes in the last 4 years and flag. They know what they are doing and most of all they know the nature of the relationships and dynamics within the club. Yes we have had some misses at the trade table the last 3 years but we have continued to draft very well. Your not going to get every trade right and it’s not like we have thrown mega contracts at complete spuds (Grundy only didn’t work because we have the greatest ever ruckman on our list already) Have some faith, what will be will be and whatever decision is made I’m sure it’s the right one.

Would love him at the dees. If we can get our hands on Brisbanes first and our F1 it might be enough to get him over the line. We need our leaders to stand up and sell our club and Tim Lamb to crack out his famous power point presentation

Trying to rebuild our culture and image, he is an absolutely the last guy we should target…. Not going to happen

Any one else feel like we are going to get a Foxfooty version of “The Decision” ala Lebron when Trac finally decides to talk. This is so horrible our club is in free fall and I don’t think there is a way to fix it

I think that would be really doable given their stars are aging. Sidebottom, Pendles, Elliot, Howe will be all off their books soon. They don’t really have many marquee players they would need to pay except for Diacos x 2 and maybe Degoey.

Anyone get the feeling that the AFL will back flip and allow 2 years future draft picks to be traded this year to get this deal to work so Trac can go to his beloved pies? Finlay McRae + 2025 & 2026 first round picks with the pies taking all salary might interest us?

If it’s so unbearable at the Dees he can go play for a team that will pay us what he is worth. That might just have to be Norf and not his “big club request” If that’s not good enough he can just retire and become a celebrity judge on MKR.

Watch the body language and mood change in Goody during his post match presser when talking about Trac and Clarry. There is clearly beef and it looks like it’s in both sides. TDK, 11 and 2025 F1 for Trac & ANB compo (26ish) Dont want McKay, TDK would complement our list perfectly.

Oh no we are [censored]

I see Houston’s value as a decent first round pick (8-12) and TDK as two firsts. Valuing Trac around 3 first round picks. TDK and Houston are two perfect fits for our list. We then hold a serious draft hand with 7 and 11 and still hold Sydney’s 2nd pick plus currency from ANB. We could head to the draft and do a mini refresh of the list or we could even dangle those picks for another prime mid to replace Trac. Bring in a fit Clayton Oliver next year that team would be looking very strong

Listening to the goody presser it’s very clear Tracs only commitment to the club is his contract and he has likely indicated he wants out. Assuming he 100% wants out and demands a trade to a big Melbourne club…. Who Says no? Dees Recieve: Houston, TDK, 11 Dees Give: Trac & 2025 F1 Carlton receive: Trac & 37 Carlton Give: TDK, 11, 2025 R1 Port Receive: melb 2025 R1 & carl 2025R1 Port Gives: Houston & 37

I think the only Melbourne team in contention that could obtain the currency for Trac is the dogs. Naughton would absolutely be of interest to us and potentially surplus to their needs. They will also have decent compensation coming back for losing Smith. Trac and bont in the same midfield would be scary good too.
