spirit of norm smith

Thanks DD36. Tom Browne meets Captain Obvious once again. I just hope the Dees hierarchy have half as much sense as Dland posters. We were on board this weeks ago. Fellow posters and Dees fanatics- just out of interest, what would be offer for Phillips. ? future 2021 MFC 2nd round pick ? ? ? straight swap with Tmc and we pay some of Tmc contract $ ?? ? 2020 MFC pick that we get for Preuss from GWS roughly - pick 34-35 by the time ? ? 2020 MFC pick that we get for Hannan from Dogs - roughly pick 50 ?

No. If Phillips is available, then he’s cheaper in terms of draft picks # and contract $$$. Polec still has question marks over why he is looking at a 4th club now. I’m a No on Polec as it stands today.

Exactly. His last 6 weeks showed he’d go around again in 2021. Virtually BOG versus bombers in round 18 which stuck it up the Essenbummers. He should have been given more games earlier. Good mark. Good kick. Agile. Knows his limitations. Rookie deal costs us shillings compared to a Tmc deal. Get his 1 year deal signed off “yesterday”.

We need to take it on now. Like those old cats, we need to grab our chance. Trac,Clarry,Maxy,May,Langers & JV can get it done. Get a few gaps fixed and a coach with some balls to bring it home. We’re not waiting around and seeing everyone else improve their list. If your not getting better, you’ve already gone backwards.

Stephenson? No no no no

Chris Scott must have really got into Isaac Smith’s ear !!!

Any love at all for Josh Caddy. If we miss out on other targets like a Phillips, Narkle etc. would we ask the Tigers about Caddy’s availability. He seems on the fringe at the Tigers but is a proven player and goalkicking half forward. I’m not sure about his off field behavior but thought I’d raise the question.

The trade works for both clubs but I agree I think we will end up paying some $$$ of Tmc contract.

Agreed. I’m not buying Stephenson. His mind looked lost towards the end of 2020. Talented. But his intensity and work ethic was poor. I think the pies see the future and want to sell his stock now. I’d be very very cautious.

assume it’s not

Sorry all. I’d forgotten about Mitch Hannan already.

Shut the thread. Isaac? I don’t know anyone by that name

Ed Langdon - you take the right Tom Phillips - you take the left

Welcome

Spargo in a two year deal - really !!! Ffs

I still think we’d be aiming at trade out. Tmc OMc Preuss trade in. Brown, Phillips, Narkle That would be a winner trade period.

surely we gotta call Narkle’s manager right now cats want Smith and Higgins and Cameron we have $$ and a HFF space available

Agree. Target Narkle with the $$$ we would have offered Smith

Perkins is very slight but very creative. Loves a goal. I think McRae and Perkins are both top 9-15 draft picks. We will somehow need to upgrade to get one of these blokes. I’ll wait until the end of trade period for my mock and crystal ball settings.

Absolutely should have been the no.1 target as soon as the Pies lost in the finals. They don’t want him. We do. Get it done.

All aboard the Tom Phillips train. Dees need to at least add Brown and Phillips in the Trade period.

Isaac who?

Ben Brown is the no.1 target. Need to get him. With our forward 50s, he should kick 3-4 per game.

hey Tom, Stay In Melbourne 3 year new deal MCG left hand side wing use of a Jaguar XE for the first 12 months and I’ll even throw in a car space at AAMI Park. A deal?

I reckon we are still favourites to land Smith but the odds are starting to drift.
