They should throw in Ollie Henry if they demand a 1st round pick for Grundy. 

Wants to play with his brother at Geelong. He will be the Rohan replacement.

    “I expect Jordan De Goey to stay. But obviously they’re aiming to get [Dan] McStay…[Billy] Frampton in as well as Bobby Hill.

    “That all hinges on a very important decision concerning Brodie Grundy.

    “Grundy’s got his exit interview over the next couple of days… I expect - at least formally - he’ll request a trade to Melbourne."

     

    So they get rid of a dual AA and dual BnF winner in Grundy who signed a 7 year deal just 2 years ago and bring in 3 average players?

    Who is the list manager there?!  what a shambles.

    Well two years after the Treloar fiasco they were 1 point away from a GF so it can't be that bad. 

    And with Grundy gone for them, they'll have further room for exploration and the ability to retain some other players. 

    Bad calls at the time of both Treloar and Grundy's deals but it's hard to fault their ability to rebound. 

    Their list is in a very good spot.

    More commentator speculation. Most have no more idea than you and I. In fact most  probably get their melb. News from here.

    If we end up getting Grundy, I hope we get the 2019 model.

    23 brownlow votes including back-back-back 3 vote games. 

    Had games of 25 possessions/8 marks/2 goals/ 50 hitouts/ 3 brownlow votes. Elite.

    Why would we offer any significant pick for Grundy? Make the pies sweat!

    That model now  has more miles on the clock, has lost a little speed and has dents allover it!

    That's definitely what I'd prefer but if they insist then I'm open to extracting more value out of them.

    I wonder if Gawn received a free kick for holding in this ruck contest?……………I doubt it

    It’s simple for the Pies. Cameron and McStay is a far better combination than Grundy and Cameron. 

    Mostly because Cameron is equal to if not better than what we can expect from Grundy. But also because key forwards are more important and harder to find than rucks.

    Not convinced by Hill, Frampton, Fiorini or Mitchell but they’re future proofing their list for Pendles, Howe, Sidebottom all going. 

    I wish we were doing the same thing, dumping an overpaid experienced player and finding a good crop of useful role players that fix weaknesses.

    You are giving the Pies too much credit. They'll come back to the pack next season.

    I should feel enthused that we are about to land one of the great ruckmen of the modern era....but I don't!

    I just don't get how him and Gawn combo will work!

    They might, but it won’t be because they’ve swapped Grundy for McStay.

    In a big way IMO. Teams will go to town on their aggressive run it through the corridor and kick it to CHF. There's a reason they gave up big scores this year, repeatedly to ordinary teams too. 

    If you take the corridor away from them or can win ground ball or intercept at CHF, they're extremely vulnerable to slingshot goals.

    Everything went perfectly for them this year. An easy draw from 17th, multiple close finishes and a game plan that teams didn't have enough time to adjust for. Plus a huge wave of momentum.

    But that will change next year. I reckon they'll be fighting it out for a top 6 spot.

    Wish we were doing the same thing? Putting players on 7 year deals and then changing our minds 2 years later. Lol

    Completely agree. From a bottom 4 fixture to a top 4 fixture. Credit to them on a great season but they rode so much emotion in the last couple of months. Steele and Pendles will continue to slow up. 

    im looking forward to seeing them come back to mid table next year

    If they have McStay on 650k they still be paying almost a mill including Grundy. Madness. Are they still paying Treloars wages?

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
