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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
