I think that clubs will probably keep a spot for the supplemental place like we did with Mitch Brown and Bennell. Get them to train over the summer and see who excites. Given the nature of the draft, there might be some that have higher risk that dont get drafted that need to be closely looked at over the pre-season. Hopefully we can find a diamond in the rough and hold one spot for SPP and get them to prove themselves over the summer. It nearly worked with Bennell. I would then use mid season draft to top up from mature leagues to cover any injury gaps.

Only on demonland. Tres Bon !

Don’t think we are looking for a tall, and we won’t have enough points to grab a top flight one anyway. Looking at the phantom drafts, I reckon there are about 6 kids that any two would be great pickups for us (wingers and small forward types), so 18 and 19 is a great hand. Who knows this year- might get a lot of value with some quality kids slipping with all the lack of exposure. it won’t take much to get back in round 1 next year if a name player leaves. Otherwise I think the whole points thing changes with the restrictions on top 20 picks for academy picks. We simply get a 12 month development head start on a kid this year.

Would be lucky if he slips through to 18/19 22/23 or whatever we are holding on the night

Thanks, Oscar. I wish him all the best in future, whatever comes his way

Possibility 4: we expect to lose an a grader and get a first rounder back, or lose a few b graders and get some second rounders we can package and trade for a first rounder in that draft?

Agree with this. For this guy to call it was massive- he was welded on. He was the last one I thought would leap off. For him it’s culture, he has stuck fat with poor performance, but he thinks this is the deal breaker.

To the dentist and back....

I have a very good pies mate who is filthy about this. He’s out till Buckley goes. Will cost the club over 1.5K just from him. How many others will vote with their wallets?

Smart move. Two first rounders for next years first. 25 will be pushed back this year and we get their second rounder next year (say 30) - about equal I’d reckon. Very smart trading, but do we go higher again??

Cameron 2 first rounders plus Sideshow 33 and change Wright for a fourth rounder Tmac - no suitors Its a mugs game. No logic at all. No market value, just value to trading parties

Goody was told by Pert to build a gameplan that played to our strengths. If TMAC is up to scratch, then lets see Goody’s genius emerge!

In 2020 the forward line was a joke. In 2021 it is going to just be a SIDESHOW!

(A mess) made by many (back end deals)

It’s Mac-happy day this weekend. But will it be?

Points /picks trade and swap continues until draft night. Players are the urgency here. I think if Norf wanted the bullies pick they could move grandpa Higgins and use that

Any news emerging or just tumbleweeds? the Mac brothers will get a complex the way this trade week is playing out! No suitors....

We can let them know we are doing them a favour as we have TMac on the books already....

If we can exchange Preuss for Brown that is a massive win! We got Preuss for dog biscuits from North, and if we can now change that for Brown (plus or minus a small amount) you would seriously have to see that as a great play by MFC.

Maybe the Hannan price was offset to support such a swap? We took a future 3rd rounder, not touching this year’s picks of the dogs for their NGA play.

I heard a rumour there was a trade period underway. .... no evidence of it actually happening....

We have tried everyone else!

No news in the main channels about OMac. Also ANB was named before the period and now all is quiet. No interest, or just not interesting??

The guy used to be the elite runner at the club. Can mark and field kick. Can defend and attack. I would trim him back down and give him a wing. If he wants to own it, it would be the Tomlinson role we tried to fill last year.

So he would be DFA? Worth at least a conversation
