TRADES, DELIST, PROMOTE
Unless someone else gets in first, which I know is unlikely given his injuries.

Rumour only file ...
AFL has changed Draft Rules re points for matching bids this year only, which helps a few clubs, but guess which club will get no benefit?

Actually, if he loses more weight as he is doing and gets his foot right, there is no reason he can’t play decent footy.

I meant they could have had both. One to develop and one ready to go now with experience. Could be funny if Tom gets his best form back.

Clearly they don't rate Tom Mac. They are looking for a key forward and this one is a youngster, while they could have had an experienced one right away.

MFC Trade Summary
Translation: We have identified a few players we would like to draft this year, in our pick range.

Bulldogs & Cats Govt Funding vs MFC
Given that construction can be 1-2 years, the first thing that has to be established is the site, if you expect to have it done by the next few years. To date we haven't even established that.

Whoops 28.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN
Ben, who turns 20 next Friday, played his first AFL game in 2014 against the Dees and now will play for them.

Open Ben
Obvious why North got rid of him, he is too articulate for the Shinboners.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN
It is amazing how close the statistics of Cameron and Brown are, except in one area, their trade price. If Brown recaptures his best form, we have got an absolute steal. Well done JM and those involved.

Has just added 16% of the team so young players drafted won’t be getting past the new 3. Will probably draft a future star at 96.

TMac on the Trade Table?
Lets hope, that would be great for him and us.

Tom Phillips - Outside Skills and Speed
I accept that, I just thought he would be a good fit for us and cost nothing. He went for 65. I see him as better than anyone we have atm, to play the non Langdon wing. I also think a 3 year x $400k -$450k contract would have got him. If Oscar is delisted and say Mitch Brown, that is his salary. We will see how he goes the next couple of years. With Jones, Jetta, ANB, VDB, Hibberd, Melksham possibly and others to go next year, we would have savings for Clarry etc. Also having kept Tom, I would be fairly confident he would now agree to say a 3 year contract based on his 2 years owing and maybe $250k for the 3rd year, split equally each year, thereby saving more the next 2 years and probably getting a bit more for Tom with less Tax each year. Then again, it's done and I could be wrong. I recall being wrong once about 20 years ago. It's late, time for bed. PS. Mahoney was great again and the Brown deal was sensational for us.

Tom Phillips - Outside Skills and Speed
Correct. See my previous post above, it appears "we" didn't want him.
-
Tom Phillips - Outside Skills and Speed
Correct. Read my second line. "Dees obviously think he is no good." He was apparently ruled out by us very early in trade period, as reported by a few in the media.
-
Tom Phillips - Outside Skills and Speed
I am disappointed with that. Dees obviously think he is no good. I don't accept it is salary as we could move on others like Mitch Brown and give Phillips an extra year at a lower salary, but paid in 3 instalments, getting him more and with less tax.
-
TMac on the Trade Table?
I would imagine Mitch Brown might be on the way out as Tom is staying.

Did we draw a good barrier?
-
WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN
Disagree. We are not a quick side and have even said we were looking at outside run and identified Smith as a possible, for a 3 year contract. Just because we had a purple patch in the second half of 2018 doesn’t make us a quick side. I think most would agree that Blues and Saints are quicker sides than us and they keep loading up on pace.

Geelong’s continued assistance from state, federal, and local govt
Thanks. Apparently Dan made the decision on his own and neither he nor anyone else in the Government can recall anything about it. Also Unified Security have been paid $1m to deliver the cheque and they are doing it through Uber.

And if we said to North, we will get you Stephensen for Brown and then force Pies to take a lower 2nd round pick, as they just have to salary dump, it gets better.

Yes!
