I tend to agree. If both Cameron and Hill wish to go home, then we will be presented with a unique set of circumstances again and perhaps the inside track to acquire Reid. It's not without risk but it's making the best out of a situation not of our own making.

HEY MAGPIE ARMY!
Obviously the preference would be for Hill and Cameron to stay
But if they both want to go, we’d be crazy not explore a deal for Harley Reid

Hill will stay for at least 1 more Season

Doesn't make much sense:
- Silvagni in would dilute any Draper compo pick
- McKay (big $ till 2029), Ridley (contracted 2029), Reid (contracted 2028), Laverde,
Hayes(ACL 2026)
Mate, Essendon are 2nd behind the Saints for overpaying players. McGrath, McKay, Parish, Ridley etc, they would absolutely do this haha
Don’t think we’d get pick 1 for him, although Eagles list management managed to get pick 3 out for Owies so we could do the same
That would be a very generous offer from West Coast and if it were me I'd bite their hand off.
I would expect West Coast to offer Reid and a late first round pick for Cameron and Hill. The pick would likely be in the 20s after academy and father/son picks.
They may want ready made players vs draft picks.

What I should have said, was let's forget about talking about it non stop.
The deal is on the table, Collingwood has said they won't raise the offer ( at leat that's what I read)
They've let him know we want him, If he wants to play with us he will, if he wants to go to the highest bidder then it likely won't be us.

If they both go, I'd be loading up on high end draft picks to make a play for Zak Butters, plus maybe pick up a couple of handy depth players preferably KPD.
Happy to let the Great Unproven Star Harley Reid and his $2m+ a year 11 year deal go through to the keeper. Or even better, to the Blooz or the Gold & Poo stripers so their list builds are f**ked for the next decade.

Saw in some rag today that Hawthorn are going all in for Harley and Butters.
How they could afford both is beyond my comprehension.

They should probably withdraw their plea for draft assistance from the AFL then

They could if the rest of the squad was prepared to accept unders for the majority of their time there
If our players are losing it over bring in a player on $700,000, imagine what they would be like bring in these 2. Probably not as bad as some of the melts i've seen on here this week though.They could if the rest of the squad was prepared to accept unders for the majority of their time there
The Silvagni story will no doubt continue to bubble away. He (or his management) wouldn't be doing their due diligence if they didn't meet with others.
It's unlikely that any announcement will be made before the season's end either, particularly if the clubs who are in the running are involved in finals.

IF he Chooses us they have to wait until our Season Ends at the Earliest
They might need a backup injured player.

Exactly. Ridiculous how other clubs offering/paying multi million dollar contracts to players isn't causing angst amongst them.
But us offering $650-700k is
Pull the other one.

At least he'd be guaranteed his injury run would continue at the Bombers.
He'd miss the high performance team at Carlton a lot.
Wade would be like Jesus healing the sick to him.
Ralphy has admitted that reporting on the big clubs gets him clicks, i guess even if he has to make something up to get that click,Exactly. Ridiculous how other clubs offering/paying multi million dollar contracts to players isn't causing angst amongst them.

Hence i don't pay attention to the sports media anymore, i see a couple of things on here.

Same. I'm not on that Twitter cesspit, so only see his garbage when it's posted here or insta.

I don't even watch any of the TV shows anymore. The journos are under the pump to be trotting out content 24/7, so the majority of it is going to be crap for the sake of writing crap
