A lot of interest for Hamish McIntosh at trade talks and Laidley would trade him if the right offer came along.
Of course Richmond, Carlton and St Kilda have been mentioned needing a ruckman.
-
The only thing we can really offer the roos for him is our first round pick. He is exactly what we need.
:gotigers

Hmmm....
At only 24 years of age he would cost quite a bit. He had a few bad injuries this year though didn't he? Though he did look like the next big thing in 2007. Unlike Seaby he wouldn't be a "Richmond patch up" and could play first ruck for at least the next 5 years.
Our first rounder would have to be involved in the deal, and then probably a fringe player aswell. However, if a player like Vickery is still around at pick 8, it would be terribly unlucky.
Personally I would think the ideal situation would be for Carlton to use their first rounder on McIntosh meaning they don't chase Warnock leaving him four our 2nd rounder.

Injured his knee (PCL) midway through this year and missed 10 weeks.

Hamish McIntosh is exactly the type of ruck we need, sadly I cant see us getting him.
-
I agree Ramps McIntosh is the type of ruckman we need. The only downer is whether he has chronic knee injuries.
Is it feasible in thinking of this scenario for arguments sake we offload an aging star in Browny to the Swans for a first round pick and offering it to the Roos for McIntosh?
Is it worth it that way or would we be better served assuming that does occur to keep our two first round picks and draw from the draft well since it is being touted as a superdraft this season?
-
Worth exploring the options....
A lot of upside has Hamish :thumbsup
-
McIntosh would be a good get as a 24 y.o. genuine first ruck but North would want at least our first pick. You would also want him to do a medical on his knee.
I wouldn't think the Swans would give up their first pick for Browny whose 2-3 years older than O'Keefe but if the club hadn't already promised finals next year you'd be tempted to do it if the Swans did go for it.

I don't know about that - pakcage up players and our 2nd pick and I reckon they'd look at it.
I cannot see many clubs giving away first round picks this year.... except for the Power ::)

They'll look at it and then politely say no thanks lol. McIntosh is an AA ruckman.
Yep clubs don't want to give away first round picks this year but they would love another given the talent on offer especially if they see their list plateauing and the premiership window shutting. I don't see McIntosh leaving North but some clubs are obviously putting decent names out there to see if anyone is willing to cough up a high pick.

yeah mate, mcintosh would be brilliant to have but i wouldn't give up our pick 8. max i'd do is pick 26 + player(s) like some have mentioned. If not, then i'd rather pursue seaby. pick 8 is too valuable i reckon
-
If Ottens went for 2 first rounders then McIntosh should go for at least that, if not more
-
McIntosh's manager is angry with Laidley for even mentioning Hamish as a trade option. McIntosh just signed a 3-year deal in June and doesn't want to move.

First round picks more valuable than Hamish McIntosh as clubs pass
Stephen Rielly and Greg Denham | October 08, 2008
NORTH Melbourne's surprising decision to place ruckman Hamish McIntosh on the trade table appears unlikely to produce anything more for the club than a disgruntled player, as the majority of clubs are baulking at the Roos' asking price of an early-to-mid first round draft choice.
St Kilda, Carlton, Sydney and Richmond offered typical reactions to McIntosh's availability yesterday. While all expressed appreciation for his talent and, in some cases, a need for a ruckman, none said they would give up their picks in the first round of one of the strongest drafts in years.

However Mike Sheahan is "tipping McIntosh to be wearing different colours next year. At 24."

McIntosh would be a good fit for the Saints, Pick 13 would get it done too, maybe chuck in Fiora too

I would think the Kangas would definitely want better than 13. Picks are worth more this year and good ruckman dont grow on trees.
Fizzer is worth nothing.

As you said, picks are worth more this year so 13 isn't a bad result
Obviously the Roos would want more, but even if it wasn't Fiora I'm sure theres a fringe player that they'd want, maybe one of the Clarke brothers
