Yep. Get some numbers.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Sorry Mantis. Despite the talent on their list Macrae would easily get a game with them and every other team in the comp.

Fair call.. If he was there he would play, but I doubt they would chase him as they have numerous players to play his role.

The only reason why they wouldn't chase Jack is because the asking price would be too much for them to stomach.
He's a gun. Sure his long kicking and scoring requires improvement but the rest of his game is unbelievably good for a 22 year old.

I agree. If they wanted another forward they could have drafted Peter Wright with our pick 6. Plus they got Griffen. Actually we could have got Peter Wright too if we had pick 6 but that is another story.

Looks like a choir boy. Plays hard. Often surprises me.

GWS will be after draft picks to get in their next crop of academy players from their heartland in the Riverena. They are unlikely to be interested in players. Since they are likely to finish high on the ladder and and not have their first pick until the mid teens getting more picks in to satisfy the points requirements of the bidding process will be even more important for them this year.

Palmer has played every game for GWS. Would he get a game for us?

They'll get them too - from what I hear Carlton are all over both Tomlinson and Marchbank. Those 2 will net GWS some more high picks/points to use this year. Cam McCarthy will go for an early 2nd rounder as well you'd imagine.
Imagine if Cam McCarthy was traded to Freo for their 1st round pick last year and also this year (which was what Freo offered to GWS). This years Freo 1st round pick might end up being pick 1!

I don't think Freo have got a second rounder this year. Didn't they use it on Bennell. Not 100% though.

I see Tomlinson had 52 touches in the NEAFL on the weekend and is leading the NEAFL MVP vote
