Re: Trade Rumours 2024
If we are looking for a hard running defensive mid, Finn McGuiness from Hawthorn is apparently gettable.

He got dropped back to the VFL side a few times this year including one longer stint. I think we could find a spot for him if he is actually available.

Apparently with what they need to give up for Barrass, they are open to moving him on to get some draft presence back. Apparently Serong & Reeves on the same list of guys they could trade.

They'll get some suitors. Just saw that Essendon are into Finn Maginness and he would be a good fit for them. Given our success with Bramble I'd be open to bringing in Hawks players if they fit a need. He's in a good age range as well.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024
Stuff going for fringe guys that they are happy to lose. If they want to go for big recruits they should lose some guys out the bottom too. Can't let them have their cake and eat it too.
Connor MacDonald would be great. A pacy half forward who is actually good and clever. Kind of Gryan Miers like imo in his ability to create.
Otherwise both Josh Ward and Cam McKenzie are high draft pick mids who aren't slow (not super quick though) who despite playing a lot of games haven't really improved their value in 2 or so seasons.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Probably without the goals. His best tagging is sublime, just blunts any oppo. From memory he even did a job off HB of Dale a couple of years ago. There’s apparently a handful of clubs chasing, I’m hoping we are among them.

MacDonald is the one we should try for. Unbelievably talented, quick, skilful, runs both ways.
More of an In Bruges guy?

There's a guy playing WAFL (Swans) who is an unbelievable tagger. Simply brilliant at taking a player out of a game.
I have said a few times that an AFL club THAT USES A TAGGER should give him a rookie deal to see what happens...we are not one of those clubs because we NEVER use a tagger.
Why in the name of all that is holy would we recruit Finn McGuinness??
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.
