GOLD Coast and North Melbourne are exploring an innovative trade that would see the Roos acquire the Suns' pick No.19 plus half-forward Darcy Macpherson.
AFL.com.au understands both clubs have been discussing a 'salary dump' which would see the Roos take on the bulk of Macpherson's wage while also offering greater playing opportunities.
The Suns this week received confirmation they would be granted access to pick 19 in this year's NAB AFL Draft and quickly turned to conversations around on-trading the selection.
North Melbourne's salary cap sits among the most flushed for room in the competition, which would allow it to take on Macpherson's wage.
Should the move progress, it would see the Roos armed with three picks inside 20 – No.1, 19 and 20 – at this year's draft.
As part of the transaction, the Roos would likely need to hand over a future selection to the Suns – expected to be a second or third-round pick.
The Suns have been informing clubs they are keen to trade into next year's draft, and by trading out pick 19 this year, would be expected to bolster their stocks for 2022.
A move for Macpherson to Arden Street would also alleviate pressures on the Suns' salary cap, given they have been forced into paying above market rate for re-signing young players in recent years.
They have also informed contracted midfielder Will Brodie they are happy to facilitate a move for him to another club for greater playing opportunities.
Macpherson, 23, last signed a contract extension with the Suns in the middle of a breakout 2019 campaign until the end of 2022.
The son of former Western Bulldog Steve, Macpherson finished third in the Suns' best and fairest in 2019 but has been limited to 23 games in the past two seasons.
Should Macpherson arrive at the Roos he would provide coach David Noble with extra depth, which includes Tarryn Thomas, Jack Mahony, Jaidyn Stephenson, Charlie Lazzaro, Kayne Turner, Curtis Taylor, Phoenix Spicer and Eddie Ford. – Mitch Cleary
Would have to be back endedHow the fu** is Darcy McPherson on such a wage. Was it a fully back ended and not been paid at all yet?

I reckon that deal you quoted would be what we would be working to.
Isaac Smith netted the Hawks a 3rd round pick (pick 42) for a two year deal. Taz is getting a 2 year deal (let's say a 3rd round compo pick if he went via FA (pick 40))
Taz + 39 for CCJ and 45 is about right and you don't lose the Chol compo.
See u at the PSD CCJTarrant is 32 years of age, CCJ is 22 and drafted at pick 20 just a few years ago.
Ain't no way that deal would happen.


Gee, pulling off 19 and McPherson for cash and a third rounder would be monstrous. Even as steak knives he's pretty decent.
Shit, you sure he doesn't already play for us?Great work rate, tackler, and a hard nose campaigner who will do the dirty work. Poor offensively with not so great skills.
So Dumont to get us band 3?
19,20,21.
If it's for next years third it's an unreal deal. Being unreal makes me think next years second more likely, but would still be worth it for sure.
Anyone who's played dreamteam knows MacPherson has been promising to breakout into a dreamteam premium the last two years, next year could be his year!
The way it's going, Dumont might end up unemployed.So Dumont to get us band 3?
19,20,21.

We should be looking to trade 19 to someone like the dogs to up their points balance this year and ask for their future first. Improves our draft hand next year and flushes a pick above usView attachment 1250788
A third rounder would be epic trading.
19 and 20 are very valuable on the second draft night.
I would use 19.
trade 20 for another 20s pick + a 2022 second rounder.
