There seems to be some players at GWS keen to return to Victoria

Will the pulling power of Mc Rae will stand out to young players who surely must be noticing the way we are tracking both on the field and the enthusiastic front

Tim Taranto?
Seeing his name linked with us - he's like for like with DeGoey.

I don’t mind this idea. Hasn’t been great this year but has certainly been good in the past. Former pick #2 and won their b&f the year they made the Hrand Final. Price might be a challenge - but if JDG leaves perhaps an option to pursue.

As an aside (and probably not the right thread) but I don’t know why their so bad. They are still stacked with good players… Oh well - they’re no good and their cap is apparently $1m over so will be their turn to get roasted at trade period this year. Will be Melbourne’s a year or two after that (after Petracca and Oliver deals). Notice a trend here?? That’s why snatching a flag is important for list managers too - you get one and all will be forgiven when there is a fire sale. Miss out, however, and you get smashed for poor management.

Cannot understand the need for McStay and hope this is simply a manager generated rumour.

Not a great mark or kick, most goals in one year is 28 so certainly not worth a 5 year at $600,000 deal. He is also getting on in years.

If you must go for a recycled tall, go after Weideman. Better mark, so so kick, but is much younger and won't cost as much.

I’m watching Brizzy for 2nd week in a row

Mc Stay mate I wouldn’t put him in our AWFL side

[rambler]

McStay can stay in Brisbane.

[Return of the baldfacts]

McStay is very ordinary indeed. Can't see what value he has for us.

[burnsy17]

McNah.

He gets most of his touches on the wing. We don’t need that!

We need a 40-50 goal a year key forward.

[Magpietothemax]

Watching Brisbane's game today, I would definitely not consider McStay to be a desirable target. His efforts have appeared to be second rate today, while the rest of his team has been busting its a**. He hasn't been able to take any marks, and his ground level efforts have been less than ordinary.

So it’s almost three quarter time, McStay has had 5 possessions and kicked 0.0

[Skids]

Fox footy reckon it's a done deal. $3million for 5 years.
They'd have to have a screw loose. Not worth half that.

Out of Favour at their clubs selection wise:

* H Himmelberg: Crows uncontracted for next year
* F McAsey: Crows contracted till 2023
* Sam Sturt: Freo and uncontracted (Frankston originally)
* Q Narkle: Geelong and uncontracted
* E Hollands: Gold Coast contracted till 2024
* B Fiorini: Gold Coast contracted till 2024
* W Gould: Swans uncontracted
* J Bytel: St Kilda uncontracted
* T Highmore: St Kilda uncontracted
* C O'Riordan: Swans uncontracted
* R West: Bulldogs: uncontracted

All have displayed some sort of abilities at either junior, reserves or senior level. Some just need opportunity.

What he is is a 100kg forward who can take a mark, who opens the forward line to the smaller forwards. In that regard he’s similar to Kreuger, only older, more experienced and less injured. I can see why we’re interested in him. Guys like Henry, McCreery and Bobby Hill (if we got him) won’t be afraid having McStay around the packs. Like everyone here saying it’s a high price to pay although what you pay is market value.
