Attach pick 6 to it.


Deal.

Melbourne are gonna use that pick on Houston from all reports. Strange considering that’s probably not gonna move the needle for them, with an ageing list.

Viney is also being targeted by North

Why TF would north want viney, he is the least of their needs

 

[Saintos The ITK]

If there were two teams playing, so 36 players on the ground at any one time, how do these dogs fans know the Saints people were looking at Macrae?
Sounds a bit made up.

Now....that sounds interesting.....and quite a challenge at that.

I strongly suspect that I'll never see any of the posts.

Pretty hard to put someone on ignore.

I'd hazard a guess they want experience amongst their youngsters so as to drive standard in the coal face as opposed to just coaches yelling at them about their bad habits. Viney would bring that sort of instance and pedigree almost.

I dunno. I’m not a north supporter

I actually don’t think that Viney has had the impact as a midfielder that his numbers suggest and that playing him in their side over other players over the last decade has hurt them more then they realise.
For all of his tough macho rubbish, he doesn’t spread defensively or hurt opposition in transition. Their preference for him as a mid limited the impact of Brayshaw and more recently Oliver.

North can have him.

Couldn't have anything to do with his Dad working there

I’ve been big on Garcia as a Libba 2.0 so the question is, do we go for a dynamic mid to compliment a mix of Garcia, Pou and Windy or do we go for a pure accumulator type (Jagger Smith).

 

[StCicatriz]

It was thrown out in the media a few weeks back.

Let’s be honest. Oliver will be at his lowest value as a player this season.

That contract is an albatross and wouldn’t need to come with an enticement to take on

Sounds like Adelaide have a higher appetite than us and will pay more in terms of a trade

 

[StCicatriz]

So interest in Macrae and Shiel

Crouch retires. But that still seems 1 to many - considering we will have a first round pick + Pou & Windy, Even Garcia to come into todays side.

I don't think any of them are ready for full seasons. We need to find a ready made inside mid.

Otherwise it's Jones and Clark. Not sure either are ideal.

Jones is in for crouch. So only 1 of Shiel or Macrae makes sense.

Both means someone is losing a spot to a 32+ year old.

Windy should absolutely be ready for a full season by next year, but I just don’t see an out and out AFL quality mid in the way he goes about it.

I'd prefer macrae takes Jones spot and hold Jones for 12 months for depth coming in when appropriate for the kids.

I agree. I think he can get there. But consistency will be the issue in terms of impact offensively. He'll be a great tagger. I think he might struggle with an injury here or there.

 

[Speck]

I don't think we can rely on Jones and Clark for a full season giving their injury history. Would definitely prefer Macrae to Shiel if as have to pick one though.

If the kids are pushing an older head to Sandy or a flank then do be it. I'd rather load up on mids then find the best mix moving forward.

Players have bad seasons all the time and recover. Pat Cripps looked cooked a couple of seasons ago, Leigh Matthew’s even said as much and I believe he won a Brownlow after that.
Oliver clearly had a horrible off season and then preseason, he could easily recapture close to his best form IMO. I’d be interested in acquiring him but It would be situation where I’d ask the playing group first, because if our guys don’t want him around I wouldn’t bring him in.

[joop]

Just went full meltdown tbh.

Said he had a secret whatsapp group where they take the piss out of certain people.

Which is funny considering the loser PM’d me telling me I have mental problems and to seek help.

 

[SteeleSaints]

Bulldogs supporter on the draft/trade board saying we were at the Bulldogs VFL game watching Macrae today. No idea how reliable but I'll be glad if we're into him.

At 30 yo we would get more value out of McRae than Sheils and McRae is more sound body wise.
