2018 Trade/Free agency rumours, scuttlebutt & innuendo
Tiger Khosh:
Don’t think nanks a good enough forward to be spending anymore than resting time there. He’s great around the ball and that’s where he should stay. Another key fwd who can give short stints in the ruck is what we need imo. Anyone available.......?
one-eyed:
Tom McDonald
Estimated value: $700,000
Linked clubs: Richmond, Collingwood, Fremantle
What’s going on: McDonald is in talks with the Demons and says he’s keen to stay – and he is – but salary cap pressure is starting to squeeze at Melbourne and the 25-year-old could definitely earn more elsewhere with some big players considering him if bids for Gold Coast’s Tom Lynch fall through.
Will he go: The Demons will need to find ways to get the money, but if they can match other offers then McDonald will be in the red and blue for a few years yet.
Go-Stay? 20-80

Agree with this. Nanks actually a very good no. 1 ruck and will continue to improve to become one of the comps better rucks imo, already id have him in the top half a dozen 'around the ground rucks'. Hitouts are overated

The journalist is thinking back to the sort of succession planning we did in the late 80's and early 90's.
