We'd get Weller straight up for Mackenzie I would have thought, Neal would probably need our first as well

Problem is, Eric is too good for depth so would be worth more to us on the trade table.
I don't know how true it is but I've heard Freo have put out feelers for his services. Is an interesting space to watch anyway
nek minute grows into a 192cm mid that we have been craving for.
another soft outside player lol.
neale just re-signed.

Not for a while, I think the last one was Harding for Metropolis and a pick in 2000ish

Would prefer Blakely
Hill is staying ...so his brother can play in the same team
that was a general statement but if we dangle a big carrot he could switch. Last few seasons he is averaging over 8 cp and between 3-4 clearances. could definitly be the 4th or 5th on baller. He can also play a few roles for us. like what he did on the weekend we could chuck him into a quarter back role and get some rebound from defence.
Yes
eMac will want to play ...his manager would already be working the phones I suspect
Sniffing about ....watch this space ...we have brown as back up, personally Elliot yeo is better defender than he is midfielder .....in fact I don't believe he will ever be a decent mid ...he doesn't read the play at all well
At 190cm Elliot yeo can play defense also
Tom Barrass should never be dropped again unless he has a dramatic loss of confidence or carries injuries
Dead set darcey Moore wouldn't have kicked this goals on Barrass if he was playing, it cost us the game

How long are you going to hold onto that?
Maybe if Barrass played instead of EMac, Moore wouldn't have been injured and he might have ended up with more goals. That's the Butterfly Effect. We don't know what would have happened.
You and others have shitcanned the MC mercilessly for the Barrass/Emac decision since then but the fact is they couldn't possibly know that EMac would play nearly his worst game ever when they decided not to play Barrass. Most of the time the difference between them is not going to be 4 or 5 goals so unless you think we should be making all our team selections the Monday after the game is played I'm not sure why this one particular decision sticks in your craw so bad.
Clearly based on the result it was a bad decision to play EMac over Barrass but seeing as there were no angels from the future whispering in anybody's ear that EMac was going to have a shocker, it was a perfectly reasonable decision that just turned out to be the wrong one. It's not the only time we've made a bad decision, and it'll happen again, and it happens to everyone else too.
I argued all pre season (see my signature) that Barrass is God and that he is far superior to Brown in nearly every way (bar maybe strength at the time) and he has a higher ceiling than Emac. People shot me down and said he's behind Schofield, Eric and even some thought Brown and Barrass was merely a good developing back up if absolutely necessary.
Glad to get one right now and then

Yeah but can he play on smalls? Play as a backup ruckman? or play as a CHF?

Serious lol at the thought Freo would give up Neale for Emac. Fantasy trade land is nice. Fyfe for Brown while we are at it.

Mackenzie and our 1st pick for Weller and their 3rd?
One thing i noticed on the weekend was that he had more confidence with his kickin. He didnt bomb it long as much and had a few flat passes to a few leads
Btw has barrassed ever played as a forward? With his leap and contested marking ability, he might have made a decent forward but i love him in defence now.

If this eventuated I would almost be forced to locate Vozzo (or whoever is the recruiting guy atm) and remove Freo's programming chip from his brain.
