Speculation Harry McKay

[txbyhull]

Unless I have missed it I cannot find a thread for the superior twin.

With everything going on at Carlton there is talks of moving their older players, mostly Weitering, Cripps and McKay.

Solely my opinion, but McKay is probably the middle ground between Cripps and Weitering. More likely to leave than Weitering but less than Cripps, and more valuable than Cripps but less than Weitering.

Who could go in for a mature KPF? What would it cost? etc etc

Let me guess, a third rounder?

Future 4th rounder. He won the Coleman like a decade ago

I think he would want to be at a contender as the number 2 KPF, or number 1 in a really good system like the Hawks. F1 maybe. Depends on Carlton's list strategy going forward. Very late first to the right buyer maybe.

Surely hawks need a good key forward and Harry seems a good option… depending on which version of Harry you’re getting. Late first if he holds his form maybe just.

Essendon to double down - no guts, no glory!

I suspect clubs are likely to go for Barnett first, and whoever loses out may consider McKay

Would have been worth a fair amount a few years ago when his career looked promising.
Not so much today.

No attack on OP at all.. but genuinely why would we get rid of our 1 remaining key forward unless he desperately wants out? We wouldn't even get the value we wanted out of it if we did. The cupboard is bare outside of him. Kemp isn't a key forward- he's more a third tall type. We have O'Keeffe developing but he seems a possibility to be delisted as he's shown very little when given senior opportunities.

If anything we would be one of the clubs desperately in the market for a key forward to complement Harry ourselves. Even if we go down a heavy rebuild path we still need some quality tall targets in our forward line. He's probably the senior player we could least afford to lose and that includes Weitering (who we wouldn't move either). Cripps would be the one who may want to move and we couldn't begrudge him that if he wants to. But even that I don't see happening.
