Jordan Clark
Would need an early pick and hope he is available then. Lot of ifs.

Jordan Clark
We need to get Tom to GWS with Preuss, to get in on the action.
-
Jordan Clark
Get him please Dees. AFL trade rumour that Tom might go to GWS. If that happens we could get involved in the Cameron deal, with Preuss and Tom, to trade for Clark. 20 year old with pace and coming from a strong club. Would be a great get IMO.

No exceptions here. Thrash thine self as penance.

Jared Polec
And the GWS list manager says they are not interested in Tom. Love this time of year.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN
No logical base to that statement.

TMac on the Trade Table?
Dodoro will offer next year’s pick 140 and us to pay 80% of his salary.

TMac on the Trade Table?
Options might be decreasing. However, McCartney was quick to dismiss suggestions the club is also vying for Melbourne's Tom McDonald, saying the versatile Demon "hasn't had a lot of airtime within our discussions" ahead of the Trade Period opening next Wednesday.

Rumour only file ...
With which club? That would value both players as only a few spots upgrade in the draft. Obviously if true, a player hoped for in the draft and salary dumping.

Tom Phillips - Outside Skills and Speed
On comparing the 2, while Phillips would be easier to get, Clark is a better kick and 4.5 years younger. If Tom Mac joins Preuss at GWS, we could get involved in the Cameron deal and maybe get Clark from the Cats. I think they were prepared to let him go home to WA, so on the way there he could play 10 years with us first. I am not against getting Phillips, just would love to get Clark.

Tom Phillips - Outside Skills and Speed
Aside from Brown, would you not prefer Jordan Clark over all of those. I would. He has pace as well, probably more than the rest. I would go hard for him and look at the others as secondary.

Jaidyn Stephenson
Bet you the Pies disagree with that.

Jesse Hogan on the way out at Freo?
He has a third cousin in Bondi.
-
Jaidyn Stephenson
I think he is a boy with issues, who had a very good year playing one out from the goal square on the lead, a position not available to him anymore. He seems to have zero defensive application and disappears from play for long periods. To me he is a NO!

Trade Targets
Would love to have Clark ahead of Phillips and most others named on here, Brown excepted, being the key forward. IMO we should have a real hard go at Clark. He could play wing or half back and then we can forget some other lesser players.
-
Trade Targets
Players like Phillips and Treloar who are being pushed out by their clubs, will be cheaper trades than their true worth, otherwise they will not be chased and will cause salary headaches by staying where they are..

Isaac Smith
They were all pensioned off by Clarko and told to get a deal elsewhere if they didn’t want to retire. This situation is completely different they offered Smith a 2 year deal and he left.

People do change their mind. I don't blame the Dr at all. I am happy to get info during trade week as I have a boring life.

Isaac Smith
We move on to a better deal.

AFL Trade Radio
How is it that Bombers know already they will get Pick 7 from the AFL, when no contract has been lodged with the AFL. The secret compensation formula and advice has obviously been used to help Bombers and Lions. Bombers get top pick and Lions get him free. AFL at its best.

Isaac Smith
Sometimes things for free aren't worth the price. I think I have morphed into a philosopher.

Tom Phillips - Outside Skills and Speed
You are now on board DD.
-
Isaac Smith
Love you ET, but make sure that you break news and not wind.

Isaac Smith
Don't be disappointed, I won't be. I think Brown is the big fish atm and if we get him we have done well. Smith is a little aging fish and old fish can be very smelly and you don't want them hanging around smelling up the place for 3 years. I think we can find younger better fish than Smith.
