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).

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
