And Grundy is a valuable player.

Or are you saying GWS wouldn't do that deal?

I think GWS want to keep that pick. If they split the draft over 2 nights the bidding for 19 can become a frenzy if players "slide". It's worth a lot more than 20.

    If a team asks for a top 25 pick and we get pick 27 there’s no way in hell we should suddenly offer 19! 

    Once they have Tom Mitchell lined up they’ll do the deal for 27

    I hope we get it done for 27, but personally I think it's going to take a little more than that. We wait and see I guess.

    Come on, Collingwood. All you need to do, is bend over.

    And take it.

    Like a band aid, it will all be over soon.

    27 and we throw in 52 and they get Frampton and deal done.

    Weren't you in disbelief about supporters thinking a second-rounder is what the trade should be?

    Yes. My opinion was somewhere around pick 15-20 would be the price. Hence why I'd love it if we ended up getting him for 27.

    I'd be so stoked if it is only 27. So much that I'll get a guernsey with 27 - Grundy like that moron in Perth with the 6 - Jackson.

    Well you're about to look silllllly.

    First rounder was never going to happen.

    It made no sense.

    Pick 21 which some were saying we might get from GWS in return for Bedford and pick 27 is going to the Lions.

    So unless we use part of the Jackson trade... 27 is all there is

    He was that good, then he got injuries, they had a cheaper alternative and now they’re moving on. We tried to do the same to Tom McDonald after 2020, we’re trying to do it with Tomlinson, that’s footy. 
     

    The Treloar situation was a bit different because they asked him to be back ended, then slandered him in the press when they wanted him offloaded. 

    Definitely. Treloar was back ended. The Grundy contract means Collingwood get rear ended🤣

    No it won't. There will be yearly surgery for the next 5 years to the tune of 1.5 mil. :blink:

    Also says that his salary decreases over the last 2 years of the deal, I wonder if we're getting him to average it out a bit and it'll end up being around $600k per year (after the Pies chip in $300k). That'll be a huge get for us, I think he jumps into our top 10 players and will allow Max to play for another year or 2. A pick in the 20s would be justified here.

    It's pretty decent of us to give him a Premiership along the way in his sunset years of footy, don't you think? That offering must mean more to a committed footballer than mere salary alone; anyway, he's made his money, he is not an [censored] and we must presume (although it's none of our business) that he has invested wisely whilst milking the Colliwobbling Filth all these years.

    Reading this thread whilst my young kids play in the background.

    I just heard one say "I'll trade you $1 for $8" to which the other agreed! 

    Simple.

    Pick 27 for Grundy - get it done Dees.

    Was in their leadership group in 2020 and 2021. They cut back the number in 2022.

    New coach that doesn't rate him, and took them from a bottom 4 to a top 4 team. McRae knows what he's doing.

    Weird that Sidebottom was cut out as well yet finished top 5 in the BnF then...

    Even weirder that it's done by vote, not decided by the coach.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
