McDonald for Prestia. Who'd take it?
Stupid Trade, you dont give up a 23 year old Key defender with 90 odd games experience for a position we are well stocked in

McDonald for Prestia. Who'd take it?
Not that it means much but Brett Anderson said today on SEN that the Swans are interested in McDonald.
Tom's kicking has me miffed. On the weekend he hit some nice short passes under pressure in defence, but he's still prone to the 1 or 2 killer turnovers which results in an easy goal cause we are suddenly out numbered in D50. He'll try get around a tackler or be running out of the backline and tries to hit a long target which either falls short or skews to the opposition.
I'm sure he is being instructed to do this but its the kind of error we've been stamping out the last few years. It's so costly and in my head I feel they tend to occur in the first half of games but could be wrong.
Be interested what people at the games think about it? Do we cut him some slack when he is starting an attack from deep defence or is it something he needs to stop/improve?
No way.Trade him for a 1st rounder, then use that and our 2017 first for Hurley.
No way.
McDonald is only 23 and already an excellent key defender, he'll end up better than Hurley.
Either get Hurley to commit as a DFA or just forget about it because we don't have anything to trade with that we would want to part with.
McDonald hasn't even entered his prime years yet.I will change my name to DezIsGod and buy you premium membership for a year if TMac ends up better than Hurley. Hurley is much stronger in the contest, a better competitor and a better decision maker.
I'll literally eat my hat if Mcdonald ends up better than hurley
No chance
Oh and why's that?
Hurley is stronger and smarter
Better kick, better mark and better decision maker
Hurley can play on anyone but Mcdonald can't
Hurley can also go forward, Mcdonald can't
Plus who's he kidding? He ain't leaving the team his brother plays for. I reckon he thinks that he's top 5 at the club and should be paid accordingly but I'd have Jones, Viney, Gawn, Hogan, Vince, Jetta, Watts all ahead of him and on more $. Hunt has probably been better than him this year!Roos and co have been pretty consistent in stating we won't pay players more than what we think they're worth. If that means they leave to seek more coin, so be it.
I wouldn't be happy to lose McDonald, but what we're doing (as a club) is right, IMO. We've now got a lot of contracts to look after, and pay a lot of good players fairly. No longer can we be forced to play players more than market value for their services.
I'm all for players seeking as much value as they can get. But if you do that, you also might not get team success. It's a choice.
We might not ever offer the team success of course. But that's the gamble I guess.
He is worth more than Jetta, and watts has less runs on the board.Plus who's he kidding? He ain't leaving the team his brother plays for.

Don't get too far ahead of yourself, he is still our best defender and he is worth alot of money, just not quite as much as he wants
