Farewell Brodie Grundy


Ouch!

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.

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.

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🤣

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.

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
