Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

Has anyone mentioned who has has been linked to? All I’ve read is that going home is a possibility just have no feel for where.

Carlton and Essendon of course, who else!

It makes sense for Essendon given their love of JJ and Carlton just keep trying to give good players a chance to return to Melbourne

Hopefully we can it least give his manager a call

Adelaide were the best team of 2017, and they had the tallest forward line. Richmond getting the home ground advantage and standing up on GF day doesn't mean their mosquito fleet is suddenly the way to go

If we manage to land a few of the players being mentioned (Trengove, Crozier, Impey) then it might be worth a chat to some of our contracted players to see whether they are open to a move. Shipping them off against their will though is not consistent with upgrading Roarke Smith for team culture reasons

Sounds like the hawks are the favourites to get Impey. Think their offer is better than ours.

Money or trade?

money.

I imagine the hawks would offer 32. We can trump that with our second if we really want him

Having Burgoyne and Rioli there could be enticing for Impey too. The brothers do like being close. Understandable.

The free agency pool is low now. Surprisingly Hawthorn seem to have left Taylor Duryea out there, probably trying to get something in compo to trade with. Any interest?

We don't have the spots for more than 2 FA unless we trade Stringer.

At the moment the 2nd spot might come down to Crozier or Impey

Just read a tweet that Crameri could be staying on a one year deal.

If that is happening it could be a significant decision

Regardless of whether Stringer stays or goes I think it's a good decision given we would be lucky to get anything for him at the trade table.

Yep the possible return on Crameri next year far outweighs what we would get at the negotiation table. I guess Essendon have turned their back on him given the focus on Stringer, Smith and Saad.

I think he is worth trying to keep and this is just some speculation at the moment.

BT suggested a while back that we move Crameri to the rookie list and I think this is what this speculation is indicating.

If it's the same tweet as I saw, the indication from the chap was as a rookie which, if true, seems odd to me that his value in the market would've diminished so much.

Yes, it's not a reliable source and one of his previous tweets said Saad would be staying at GC.

If we keep Crammers I'm not sure the rookie list is the right spot for him.
