Happy for HMac getting the opportunity.
Hard to get excited about pick 36 though....

Was going to provide it, was just checking around on the AFL website. They just produced an article this minute.

If his body holds up then Geelong have done very well.

Kewl.
Given we were implored by North fans to take HMac last year for pick 15 and someone, I'm pleased we didn't.
Still, Ivan was pick 37....

Pick 36 will be pick 40-41 come tomorrow

Im not saying Geelong are getting ripped off but I have to say that I think North Melbourne wins this trade.

 

[josh the gent]

Good deal for Geelong.

North should have traded him out last year when his value was higher, pick 36 is about right for 2012 I reckon...

Don't say I didn't tell you so.

1st round pick this year or free agency pick next year.

Bad luck mate.

No chance does North win this trade.

If HMac stays fit then he will be the Cats number 1 for the next 2+ years.

 

[willoblue]

well done Cats. I see McIntosh as a player of similar value to Wellingham (obviously very different players), so the Cats have scored here.

 

[the distributer]

Hmm, thought he may have sold for a bit more than that, good get by the Cats IMO.

 

[Pykie]

I wouldn't want to be at Geelong and wanting a pay rise in the next few years, Hamish wasn't exactly on peanuts.

 

[MF]

I said somewhere between pick 25 and 35 was about right so 36 is a decent deal for Geelong.

 

[Donners]

Good deal for Geelong. I wish we chased him rather than Tippett.

 

[blues5]

So Majak Daw is now North Melbournes new backup ruckman. ROFL

The number one ruck we were lacking this year. It frees West up, who is a more than solid backup.

Bad luck mate.

There is a spy in the NMFC.

The supreme irony is that this impostor will likely get a contract extension for making an opposition club a better side at the expense of the club he coaches.

It's no wonder the skunk took off for London on monday.

Arocca and Joseph were right after all. The administration have to go.

 

[G0ther00s]

North shit the bed on this one. Should of been high 20's or mid 20's pick.

Don't say I didn't tell you so.

Didn't you hear MD 36 is the new 15

Or you could simply temper your expectations, HMac is a 28 year old injury prone ruckman who's hardly played any games the last two years. 36 is spot on IMO

Interesting move to make the trade the day before finding out how draft picks will be shifted

 

[markm106]

Good deal for the cats. Only issue is the three year deal. Has only played 8 games in past 2 years.
