Not sure of the points value of a climb up from 3rd round into early second round but it is hard to believe Bedford would be worth anywhere near that much.

32 is 2nd round. It's moving from late second to early second, yes, but a pick they might not even use

    Word is the Grundy deal will happen early. With GWS and the Tigers making a deal tomorrow, Im hopeful
     

    A great win if the club can make it happen!

    I reckon we get the Bedford done first to get our hands on pick 21. then on trade that to the pies

    Is it? One article I read stated it would only happen after the Jackson trade is done. Hopefully it's the former and no Jackson capital goes towards Grundy.

    I’ve read both, early and after. Just being hopeful here.

    Exactly.

    On one hand it’s a salary dump.

    On the other hand, we have no back up ruckman and his obviously the best available.

     

    Not a clear cut salary dump, if reports are right and they pay $300k

    A pick in the low 20’s is fair for a multiple all Australian.

    We can get 4 time All Aus Robbie Gray for a pick in the 80’s

    Pickett, while this approach could work and we 'win' the trade, such a transactional approach harm our reputation of being reasonable in negotiating trades and is likely to bite us on future trade.

    Like others have suggested if we can trade up on of our later picks to an early / mid second rounder through the loss of Hunt and Bedford.  through the Jackson trade we should then have a early first round pick this year and an extra first round next year.

    Yeah , I know but sheeeit I dont like it!

    This is specious reasoning. What are the probabilities of a player of that calibre that late in the draft? Less than 1%.

    Getting picks ‘right’ in the top 15 means stars, 200 gamers or greats of the game.

    We have a few we prepared earlier…

    Getting the picks 50+ ‘right’ means role players, 50 gamers, and projects that dont go anywhere.

    Your frustration is misplaced, literally in random threads, and in reality.

    Pretty sure the Grundy deal will be dependent on the Luke Jackson Freo deal.

    If that's the case then it's going to be a long wait as the Jsckson Freo deal will be a lot more complex.

    Why are these two deals linked?

    We are not going to give Collingwood a top 10 pick for Grundy, which is what we are asking for Jackson.

    I reckon the two deals are separate.

    Sounding like Freo want a second rounder in return along with Jackson which I was hoping to use as part of the Grundy deal. All comes down to how that one works out

    Don't think so, Matt - it seems a bit steep for a guy who can't get a regular game

    We should use the second rounder in the Grundy deal and get it done early and then we can say to Bell, sorry we don't have a second round to give you!   From memory, Bell did similar to us when he split the Freo picks before the Hogan trade (ie he reduced what he could offer us as he no longer had it).

    Robbie Gray's also about 15 years older than Grundy.

    Nah, I reckon we'll move forward irrespective of Jackson and Freo. Worst case scenario we have Jackson, Grundy and Max on our list, but we know LJ will get to a club in the West somehow.

    What are you thinking gets the deal done?

    2nd rounder?

    For Grundy? Pick 20-25. Whether it's acquired as part of a shuffling of future picks and the Bedford trade, who knows, but we can't sit on our hands and hope Peter Bell grows a brain.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
