Agree on the 36 is rubbish.

Go Go HMac (or Goldy) to the VFL.

Geelong GTFO.

I am more tha happy with pick #36 for HMac.....

We would get someone 7 picks better than Andrew Swallow...Make it happen !!!!

GEELONG and North Melbourne are still haggling over the pick to be swapped for Roos ruckman Hamish McIntosh. North wants Geelong's second-round pick (36), but the Cats are hoping their third-round selection will be enough.

If that is accurate, keep him.

**** off DMac and Geelong.

 

[budge11]

Lol we are getting bent over... cool.

 

[Tas]

what the ****...

 

[keeno 111]

Third round? what the ****?

 

[Event Horizon]

No mentions of who picks up Hank's 2013 salary bill...

 

[Daz]

Who cares? We have plenty of cap space for 2013.

What happened to #36?

give that plus our 14 to GC for Caddy. So it doesn't really matter what Geelong give us as we on trade it. But the longer this goes the worse it seems to be getting for us. If Geelong offer a 3rd round pick we must keep mcintosh.

 

[Flawed Genius]

GTFO

I hope this is wrong or part of a larger master plan!

 

[Zebrah]

Donald McDonald - you have done it again!

The Cats have played him so well he is now begging for pick 36. You have to laugh.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Nothing has happened, so we can hold the outrage?

 

[chrissy]

I am starting to feel more and more that we shouldn't be doing a deal with Geelong , a 3rd round pick is a joke . We need to come out if this deal the winner , you do not do deals that strengthen a team that is fighting for the same ladder position as we are .
We are either playing our cards very close to our chests or as a club we are extremely poor at doing deals .

Luke McDonald would want to be the second coming because his father is cancer .

 

[King Corey]

IF the reported trade is true then i would like to know the best way to get club positions reviewed. We would be little more than a nursery for bigger clubs.

Put someone with testicles in control of trading. Please.

 

[Bigeasy]

Geelong and North are haggling in public to cover up a sweetheart deal that they are formulating. Very much like how GC were going to nominate Viney but didn't so Melbourne could pick up viney for a song.

All of the public haggling makes me laugh.

Or 8 picks worse than Matt Riggio.

TT, I didn't realise you were a "Gass is half empty" man

 

[GarnerSmash]

So what are our options?


We will need a player that is ready to step into the breach if Goldy goes down. Drew is best served playing forward, Pedo is likely out the door and is too short to do it full time, Mabon is a preying mantis and Daw is not an AFL ruck.

Do we trade for a ruck from another team or are there any options at VFL/WAFL/SANFL level who could be brought in as a back up? Looking forward to hearing some names and info on the players if possible.

 

[Husk]

Personally I would play Petrie in the Ruck 50% swapping with Daw.

Tarrant, Hansen, Daw as the forwards. With Black also in the mix.

While it may not be our best setup on paper, what team can completely cover the loss of its number 1 Ruckman.

What about the fact that Dish has broken his feet and manages swelling during the week? Playing ruck for such long periods will only increase the likelihood of injury for him.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

If we could have walked out of this trade period with Caddy and Zac Clarke I would be very happy. Unfortunately, the teams we are dealing with are stingy. They can't all be Lake to Hawthorn.

How much running does he do as a forward?

He would likely do less as a Ruckman sitting behind the ball. Theres a good reason Goldy is able to play 95% of game time.
