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.

    Wrap him in a bow and send him over, assuming Jackson is going

    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

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

    • PREGAME: Geelong

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
