FYI both Hawks and Mitchell are open to a trade. Not sure if any clubs are interested though.

I knew they were open to a trade but less sure on expectations of what they'd receive back. Have you heard anything about what Hawks want?
 
He was a father son prospect for north and Geelong before he chose north in
2018

He chose North? I guess he needs to work on his decision making

Na that's all I've got sorry. Only other bit of info I can give you is that the Hawks are keen on Bruhn and probably get him.
 
Barry played 7 or 8 games for us in the early 90s on a big deal then went to Carlton. I’m not sure on the details of his departure.
Barry wanted to live in Melbourne after a long career in Sydney. He went into pre season draft which was big back then with a price on his head to get to Carlton. Carlton with their first pick did not taken him and to the surprise of Mitchell and the Blues we took him before their second pick. He was only with us a year and then went to Carlton where he wanted to be.
 
Which itself is disappointing. JDG isn't enough. Those young guys are a way off in development.

Perhaps we have cooled because of the terms of $$$ needed to pay Taranto and/or the outlay required via trade to acquire.
Hine made it clear on that podcast a few weeks back is he wanted to take our first pick to the draft...perhaps the club wants to bring in more first round talent on top of what we have managed to bring in the last 2 drafts.

I'm sure we do and I support that. My thinking is that we are a very good team atm however we are being held back by our clearance midfielders. They need more support. If we don't improve here we won't progress. I don't think we can expect much more from our current players so we need to look at trades.
 
Or the media have exaggerated our initial interest & are now adjusting to the real situation?
I can’t imagine Wright saying last week…yes let’s go full tilt to get Taranto…then a week later yer, nah, let’s not.
Option A - Wright has changed his mind in the past week
Option B - media speculation is lurching from one situation to another because they have no f#cken idea.
Option C - Taranto's manager floating Collingwood as a suitor to pump up his contract

With the flip of a coin we could just as easy have finished outside the 8. You just don’t normally win games we’ve won with some of the midfield stats we’ve lost and conceded. I’m concerned if we go into next season without an additions to the midfield we could jsut as easy drop outside the 8 again. I’m extremely underwhelmed by mcstay and question what he will bring. Adams isn’t getting any younger and the amount of footy his missed is a huge concern. We def have a chance to steal one but long term success we need some big additions
 
The area where we're falling short at the moment is in centre clearances. This is clearly our biggest need. If we look at clearance averages this year, Grundy is our best, Adams second and JDG third.

I'd argue therefore that retaining Grundy should be a priority.

If he goes, maybe we should be prioritising getting someone like Rowell from GC or Keays from Adelaide (even though they're both contracted beyond next year).

All this talk of bringing in players like Hill (for whom we have no discernable need) leaves me flipping confused.
