Can you clarify what you mean this?

Can someone summarise please?

Isn’t he more of an outside mid?

Any idea what we would have to give up (along with Pruess), for pick 9? Would be very happy if we could draft Macrae.

Heard about interest over a month ago, long before it hit the press, so it might have some legs. Heard from the Pies end, not ours.

We need to re sign him. Now.

I wonder if Smith is waiting for the GF to finish, before he nominates Geelong. He’s taking his time to decide (which is his right to).

I heard about the Collingwood link, over a month before it reached the media, so there might be something to it. This was from the Collingwood end, not us though.

Put a 20 on Trac this morning at $8, he’s $7 atm.

I put a 20 on Trac

Geelong can get F*@#$d

As I’ve said before, the Pies have been looking at Tom for at least 5 weeks now, so they have at least been thinking about trading for him. I wouldn’t mind a trade of Tmac for Phillips, if it also meant we could bring Brown in, but it would all come down to how much we are prepared to pay of Tom’s salary. As others have said though, it looks like Smith is our first preference on the wing.

The Dees always take the trade period as a whole anyway. They don't isolate trade by trade (to an extent anyway).

In case you didn't see my post on the other TMac thread. About five weeks ago, I made a post saying the Pies might be into Tom. I had heard this. The fact that there is still interest from them, suggests that the interest may be legit. I'm pretty sure they also mentioned him playing down back.

Linked TMac to the Pies (above), nearly 5 weeks ago. The fact that they are still named in the Fox Footy article about Tom, suggests there may be some substance to the rumour.

I would be very happy with this, or a similar outcome. Like the thought of Macrae in the team.

Wow, I'd give them the Hawks 2nd rounder for sure (and so would Goody).

F yeah

I would take any pick in a heartbeat, for a salary dump, then bring in Ben Brown

Kozzie & Tippa, I like the sound of that!

Great get. I wonder what his official role(s) will be. Hopefully he is involved with our goal kicking. Might be our next head coach after Goody, if we don’t improve next year.

Personally, if it was GWS, I would give them Pruess & the Hawks 2nd rounder for Bobby Hill, but I doubt it would happen

Do you think we will get better than a late 2nd/early 3rd for Pruess? Also who are you thinking of on our other wing?

I don’t know how, but if some kind of arrangement can be made, I would be happy if Pruess ended up at Hawthorn, and we ended up with Smith.

True, but I just think we could get more value from a similarly rated player, in a different position
