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? ðŸ˜€

    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 ðŸ¤®

    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

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
