Have you ever worked in an FD with Stafford? If not then you have no idea whether this is a good or bad appointment.

Let's give it a year to see - worst case Weed would be great at CHB Weitering-style.

There is no way this happens. Treloar is a salary cap dump for the Pies and TMac is a salary cap dump for MFC. Collingwood will only take TMac if we're paying part of his salary. They might do a straight swap if we take all Treloar's salary.

Confirms they're shopping him against his will though. Why else are their List Management talking to a player with 5 years to run on his contract? It's SNAFU.

That's a relief, I thought he was going to that nirvana Ashburton for a moment.

Darcy Fort 27yo and 9 games. Tom Hickey 29yo 102 games. Ratugolea will cost and will want to pays 1s.

Jackson + McKernan

McKernan makes perfect sense as emergency ruck back-up for Max with Preuss leaving for GWS.

Footballers' salary would enable you to live in East Geelong on the waterfront of you chose to live in town - it's pretty nice there. Bellarine is great - Queenscliff or Point Lonsdale.

He has only got 2 years to run on his contract. It's hardly a Treloar situstion.

GWS matched so Geelong has to trade for Cameron.

George, Giants, Gypsies, Gents ... How do you pronounce this letter: G? Gee as in Geelong.

Ridiculous logic. He's not staying at North and he hasn't nominated any new club yet. Maybe he's going to nominate for Elon Musk one way trip to Mars?

North will have salary cap to burn. They don't need to get Polec's salary off their books, they'd rather pay some of it and get early picks.

With Smith to Geelong this thread needs to be on page 1. Brown + Polec for 2021 1st?

"Needs to be stronger in the contest"

Hopefully he meets Vanders head on next year.

Yep confirmed campaigner.

Cats wings have Menegola, Duncan (or is he more primary mid now?), Blicavs plays there and Clarke can't get a game. Smith doesn’t seem a major need.

Spargo improved his tackling and kicking depth this year. He's got further scope for improvement. I prefer him to Hunt and ANB fwiw.

Port looking for a KPD and aren't getting Aliir. Maybe TMac there? They were suspect against tall fwds this year with a high % of goals conceded to them - see game plan thread for details.

Josh Mahoney to Essendon?

I believe #55 is the lowest number never to play a senior game.

Gee how does Adem Yze get to join this "inner sanctum" then?

Yes May-Petty for Hawkins-Cameron with Lever free to intercept or 3rd man up for the spoil. Dangerfield or Martin forward is a different problem.
