Let's go with the suggestions on FB and become the Irish Cats by signing Conner McKenna, all because he went out that drunk tweet
Has he actually said anything else about returning to Australia to play AFL or has there been an official comment from either himself or his manager, because otherwise it seems there's still people reading a lot into a single tweet

Tucker has negative value, I wouldn't take him unless their first rounder was coming along with him. If he was drafted by us we would have delisted him years ago.
Assuming we end up trading both Clark and Krueger I’d be looking at this trade/draft scenario -
Trades -
Clark plus 32 for 25 and 27. Left at this stage with 25, 27, 30, 34, 54.
Krueger for a future 3rd.
Trade 25 and 27 for Bulldogs 17.
Left with 17, 30, 34, 54
Draft -
17 - Zac Taylor or Campbell Chesser
30 - Tom Brown or Connor MacDonald
34 - TB, CM or Ned Long
54 - ?

I think this is a distinct possibility based on chatter out of WA.
Floated this a few weeks ago and was howled down as a troll ( I have no opinion on whether Tucker would be a worthwhile addition for Geel as I don't know enough about your squad ) - it just seems like whilst Tucker is still "available" it will tick boxes.
FYI we are hearing here that Clark has essentially asked for a trade - again unsure if this is true but it is being reported.
I dont think he is good enough either for what we need, and I do not see any easy way of getting what we need.
We are at 2015/2016 again... for list balance. Trouble is I don't see a 2016 Danger to come in and be our best player. Tucker might be a legitimate bandaid... I suspect we need sutures if not more.
My personal opinion is we are locked in for the next 12 months but we are done. To add a fringe best22 player is probably at best short term gain long term stain.
Agree with that.
There seems very little chance that we can get 17. The Tigers really want it and have so many picks (with more to come) right in the father son sweet spot of 27-40 that they will out bid us easily. They have to either trade up or slide them to next year as they don’t have the list spots to use them all.
Gold Coasts pick #19 is up of grabs but North are in the box seat for that.
Everyone seems to suggest this draft has talent but is a lottery btw 10-40. Just take our three picks and try and improve our position next year for when we will need to take 5-6 picks.
Very good mail that Talia isn’t going to the Cats. It will be interesting to see who the club brings in for cover as a key defender.
You will get howled down on this board just for supporting another club lol
That's probably a fair point well made.........

Whether it's true or not it's much better for my mental health to think Tucker is no chance of coming so I'm going to stick with that.

Take banks at 34 and Noah Strom at 54 also Gilles from Grove would be a good get
Tigers are aspiring for a top 10 pick aren’t they? Also they would have a similar hand to us to bid for that pick of the Bulldogs as there first two picks come earlier. I think we are a realistic option to trade for 17.
I think one of our picks needs to be in the teens. Try and grab one of the more highly rated mids.
The other picks can be used on players that drop with a bit of luck.

Give up p52 I understand
Tucker 27 30 32 and 34 is an improved hand
Or even just making realistic non one eyed assessment apparently. I didn't say I'd be happy with the deal and even said I would rather keep him. All I said is that its a likely scenario lol.

It was right that you were howled down as a troll. The WA journalists reporting it should be too

It’s pretty crazy that the Suns have so many picks and players they’re happy to give away pick 19 and a player just to get the player off their list.
If you swapped out McPherson for Brodie I’d be happy for geelong to do that deal but looks like north got in first.

I wouldn’t be disappointed to see Darcy come in but would have to be with a good pick not just a small pick upgrade.

Im thinking perhaps we should go the other way and down grade pick 32 for two picks in late 40's early 50's

It's all about the team with the best cap space. The Cats salary cap would be very tight next year. After 2022 with the expected retirements etc of experienced players it will open up. Interesting, Sam Walsh hasn't signed on at the blues, now there would be an A grade replacement for Selwood
Real mature - you one of them were you?
That’s just about has to be the doomsday scenario.
Clark is worth more than 27.
Tucker is not worth trading for full stop. A rookie/delisted FA. He’s fringe at Freo. Think about that.
That trade suggestion is incomprehensibly bad on 2 separate counts.
It’s be Higgins for 30, Polak for pick 1, type lunacy trading

Hahahaha, no club would do that. Especially if hypothetically the prior year he turned them down to come as free agent, ahahahahahahahah.
Tucker = vomit.
Doesn’t get a game for Freo, Freo!
Would be the 35th player on our list. Would not get a game and is the definition of a list clogger.
Don’t need to be diluting any Clark compensation either.
Hope it’s just rubbish and not true
