To get the Treloar deal done the Pies made it known they would pay $300k of his $900k salary for five years.

If you could get them to pay $400k of his $1M  Grundy could fit money wise for us

That seems like a pipe dream on the surface DJ, as I would assume it would be closer to 200-250 a year if we're simply allocating Jacksons dosh to Grundy. BUT what will be an interesting quandary for the Pies, is how long can they hold out on money negotiations if they need Grundy to go to prevent DeGoey DeGoing to the Saints and McStay McComing to the Pies. Would they get desperate and do the 400k deal ? What kind of pick would they demand off us? If we hold out long enough to pressure them, would they do Grundy for a late pick AND take a good enough 300-400k chunk :laugh: We have some leverage to get a good deal like you said.

    My concern I have with the whole Grundy saga is what draft capital we have to give up?

    Jay Clark on triple M stated that the two first rounders we'll get from Freo which he thinks we'll be in the teens, one we'll go to Collingwood for Collingwood. 

    If this is the case then we're making a huge mistake giving away a first round pick for a ruckman who's going to be 29 next year.

    Yes it's a big risk but I think the club is in a premiership window so they're looking at who can help us win flags in the next three years rather than in the long term

    It would have to be a pick swap surely. Freo's 1st and 2nd for Collingwoods 1st and 2nd, if it's say 12-14 for 16-17? and 30-32 for 34-35. Anyway, Clark is just spitballing like we are.

    I'd be very keen on him if a 2nd rounder is all we gave up

    Not keen if we have to spend a 1st on him though, would prefer to go down the journeyman ruck route at that price

    I'd rather years of sustained success, not 3 years and then a significant drop off the cliff.

    You need s good balance of bringing in key players that can certainly help straight away but a breed of new talent as well.

    If we are giving up a 1st rd pick for him the I’d suggest they would be paying a large portion of his wage.  If we are giving up a 2nd or 3rd pick would suggest we are paying the larger portion.

    For me we shouldn't be giving up a first round pick for a 29 year old ruckman.

    Regardless of who pays how much portion of the salary. That's just silly, especially coming off some significant injury concerns.

    For me doesn't do enough to warrant such a salary,  They would want a club to pay at least $700k of a $1.2 million a year contract, Collingwood have just worked out they have been dudded once again.😂

    Had one good season in a contract year and Collingwood as they tend to do are paying overs for players who don't deserve it.

    Collingwood have no payment structure whatsoever. That's why continually find themselves under salary cap pressure.

     

     

    "...Collingwood have just worked out they have been dudded once again.😂..."  

    You mean they have greedily stuffed themselves up once again.  Footscray' and Adam Trealor say "hi".

    a bit expensive to take grundy's contract. he's stiill got 5 years to go at over $1m/yr.  so even if the filth pay some for 5 years,  the remainder and risk of 5 years length will dissuade most suitors

    Maybe the Magpies will have to pay well over 50% of their contracted payment? 😀

    They want to clear $700k from their cap. We GET the 2nd rounder, not give it up…

    This is a classic NBA salary dump. 

    They pay, we don’t.

    Not for me.

    5 years and $3.5 million. - he’s 29 Ouch!

    Just too rich and we haven’t done all that well with Collingwood trades.

    Not sure how the cats could afford him ,but happy for them to take the risk and clog up salary cap.

    We have a few we will have to tidy up next year.

    Personally I'd love Grundy but not at the price Collingwood signed him for or the pick they'd expect. If we could get him on the Sly and he wants in i say yes thanks.

    Make them sweat and wait til the last day of the trade period. The Pies need the space, they have zero negotiation power. Zero chance of us giving half the LJ picks to the Pies (first rounder)

    wgat did the dogs give up for Treloar, a gun in his prime?? With 4 years left

    The prospect of making this deal is looking worse and worse 

    Imagine trading out Jacko and a first rounder and getting grundy on a monster contract at the end of this 🤮

    It's not a good fit. I've tried to rationalise it but it isn't 

    It’s great if it only costs us $300,000 a year. Make the Filth pay. They created this contract and now they don’t want it

    That's the biggest hurdle to all of it. Can't justify paying this much for a part time Ruckman.

    If his Foot heals up and can take AFL Punishment he would be a great double act with Max for 2-3 years

    costing $300,000 a year would be a potential bargain. The Filth can pay the rest.
    But they are the only terms I would entertain. He is not worth any more. Foot injuries rarely go away fully

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
