Mahoney keeping Trade Radio exciting !!!

Its quite a day. Ben Brown, 2020 draft picks. 18, 19, 28, 50. risky to trade out future 1st in 2021 but it shows our aggressive and creative style hoping it carries over to the 2021 coaching and playing style

It’s all done. It’s a blockbuster.

I think we are probably the most creative with the pick swaps. Definitely Mahoney is a closet actuary.

I thought the Dees really should have gone for Witherden from the Lions. Elite skills. Small defender. That’s a gap for us. Whilst some on here thought he was not gettable, ultimately the Eagles got him for a steal imv... Pick 58 and Future 3rd rd pick. I’d have give that up.

I thought they’d cut to 42 so it means some players on the outer fringe do get retained. 44 means little change for Dees (45 in the 2020 squad).

Smart business

Yes. Yes. Yes. No complaints

Certainly I think we recognized the need for pace and fix the (opposite to Langdon) wing position with Isaac Smith the first option. After that Phillips was considered an option. But his price is too high (Pies seemed to have overpaid for quite a few players) and we are now unlikely to be able to shift Tmcd.

Agree. He’d be a very good pickup if we somehow trade our picks up to the 1st round (ie. The dogs first round). As a first or 2nd year or development, he’d play outside and be used as a delivery type. Then look to move into more traditional ruck rover midfielder who plays outside-in.

DD36. You raised and gave it oxygen. It was pathetic. I know it’s your opinion but I have to call it out “He is the exact type of player we desperately need”. Really? he’s soft. Lacks run , poor pressure acts. His kicking and disposal efficiency are actually poor. Not even close to the type of player we need at all. With Brown onboard hopefully today, we want hard running skilled mids to compliment our midfield bulls. Players with endurance who can run both ways. Two midfield runners would top off our team imv. That’s the priority.

I think we can kill this thread. I’m still laughing at it.

It’s all whispers and hearsay. The 2021 draftees are mostly unknown outside of some under 16 championship games and the WA and SA colts league this year. I think the. Super draft of 2021 is certainly not yet a known factor.

Unsure about Tmcd. Happy to see Tmcd stay or go. If he goes, 1- try to use the pick to get Narkle. 2- need Andrew Phillips from Bombers (save ourselves $450k a year) for a future 4th round. But I’m tipping Tmcd stays. Really want 1- Ben Brown - MFC pick 31 and pick 68 to Kangas 2- Dogs pick 14 - swap for MFC pick 26,33. Gets Dogs 1290 points ### End up with 3 picks 14, 43 , 50. ###

This Marley Williams whisper keeps appearing. Where’s it coming from ?

Played a (singular) good game v Hawks and the rest were poor. Very poor. Embarrassed by two youngsters in Georgiades (Port) and Mcinerney (Swans). He has had years to prove himself. Slow. Poor decisions. Weak tackle and spoils. Time for Oscar to checkout and see how he goes elsewhere. We wish him the best.

Hannan- future 2021 3rd round

Interesting that Casey Demons are using Twitter and Facebook and MFC website to ask for players to trial. I think the club is struggling and it will be interesting to see who the new coach will be. Obviously Dees need to get the coach appointed in the next few weeks by December.

97 pages. Games of chess between grand masters are quicker than this. Push the Kangas now to take our offer. We will then look to grab the Bulldogs pick with pick swaps.

Kangas are a good fit for tmcd. They need a tall forward to go alongside Larkey. Surely it’s win win.

Brown to Dees Stephenson and MFC pick 68 to Kangas Pick 31 to Pies thoughts?

Cats average age should now be approaching 30. I’m surprised they didn’t offer Nev Jetta a 3-4 year deal.

Screw north. It’s pick 31 OR 33 and throw in pick 68 if they are getting annoyed. They are kicking Brown out !!!

Agree. Saad is not worth a 1st round pick 8. If Blues give up pick 8, they need to get Saad and EssFC future 2021 2nd rounder
