If that ITK poster is correct its Essendon or Us for McKay.

Unless there is another unknown club?

I think it's more likely Essendon.
BTY - What ITK poster are you referring to?

 

[TheMase]

Ladhams will be spewing

He won’t be getting games unless injury’s

Probably only has himself to blame really. Could have made himself the obvious option but just couldn’t keep his discipline.

Some further details on McKay and Grundy in this article

Three clubs up ante on Ben McKay; Why Tiger great is hanging hopes on a GWS flag; Daicos steps up comeback bid

Ben McKay has had a medical at Essendon, his third medical at an AFL club, as he approaches a decision on his next move. Meanwhile, Trent Cotchin cannot bear to have a rival Melbourne club win the flag.

Agree mase

Bit of a goose it seems

 

[Punts]

Can see him going to bombers with Scott

Reckon we might miss on him

Bombers very keen and for a change are prepared to spend the coin to get him. Whether its enough remains to be seen.

 

[Punts]

Would we swap ladhams for grungy , pick exchange or something

I know he is back up but if Reid plays on , amartey , McLean and mcandrew

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Mine's "get Grundy, McKay and draft O'Sullivan."

Then I'll feel like a real winner, like the Essendon supporters do during the trade period!

I never, EVER want to feel like an Essendon supporter.

Midfielders:

Cal Twomey has advised not may quality midfielders in this draft outside of the Top 10. There's always a few smokies though, hope we get one.

Cleary not in his top 30

Nor was Gus

ZZ Top is the clear bolter out of WA this year. He might be the one that Twomey has "missed".

 

[Jack Lord]

Glad to see Sydney is still a destination club. We don’t seem to have pulled a big name in a while.

Just seen what morris said about grungy and port

How is wasnt fully in vested

Is that alarm bells

Has his money regardless

Is he prepared to at least try and get back to what he was?

 

[Ticky009]

Heard McKay talk a few weeks back solid head on his shoulders feel sorry for him being used as a pawn by North.

Good god no. He's going to get the biggest payday of his life. There's nothing to be sorry for. He's already had his exit meetings at North surely, so just taking his time weighing up offers.

WOW - did you read it completely differently to most.

 

[Cadsky]

Ladhams will be spewing

He won’t be getting games unless injury’s

Or he pushes Amarty out

 

[RUNVS]

Assuming McKay decides to go elsewhere, I feel we will be 100% into Dougal Howard.

Would be a good guy to go after as isn't he a NSW boy?

 

[Ticky009]

Ticky its unfortunate you had to clean up the madness in the Ben McKay thread on the drafts and trades forum.

Urgh. It's Trade time - you expect things to get crazy, just part and parcel of modding on the Draft & Trade board.

Bunch of BS leaked by Port I reckon.

people lose the run of themselves there. Two people got into a row debating the merits of Ratogolea and Zerk-Thatcher of all players.

 

[Wolfgang West]

I'm not sure I'd give up anything for Harmes at all. I don't see what he would add to our list.

I like the idea of recruiting James Jordon but I'm not that enthusiastic for Harmes tbh.

Improving depth is great but Harmes is 29 next year so I feel like he'd be robbing a few of the younger blokes of opportunities next year.

Trying to build a Flag side within the next 1-3 yrs. He Fits & He is genuinely tough and durable.

 

[ashep]

Sounds like we might have the biggest offer in front of McKay and a better chance of playing finals.

If he's still uhming and ahing, maybe best he goes elsewhere.

Did he play under Scott before? Is there a link there?

Scott kept him in the 2s

The port fans are saying Grundy is high maintenance because he didn't share their footy focused view. I understand him wanting what's best for family as well as his footy career.

And if he had chosen to go to Port instead of us, 90% of posters here would be deriding him too.

That's a rather silly thing to say. This will be one of the biggest decisions of his life. He should take all the time he needs,
