Pretty sure the pay cut is a furphy. The pies will try to pay as much of the 1.5M or whatever it is they are contributing as fast as they can, the bulk of it in the first 2 years. And if our cap management has been good we’ll do the same so he’s not on 650 aged 32.
 

The net result is Grundy gets front loaded by a significant amount. He might get as much as an extra million (pre tax) over the first 2 years of the deal than in the last 3. Enough to buy another investment property ahead of time and easily collect the amount he’s given up. 

How will the Pies be able to front load? Their cap is a mess, part of the reason they have had to offload Treloar and Grundy in the first place.

I see GC held firm and got 5 for Rankine, let's see if the Demons have the balls of the Suns. Collingwood are dumping Grundy and his salary, if anything 27 is overs let alone a pick slide. 🤮

    Well that goes against the clubs strategy of  moving up the draft.

    I'd say there's a chance the club had a target in mind to move up the draft for, and now that chance might be gone - for instance if we thought Cadman was around pick 5, but now the talk is he'll be in the first 3 and we know we can't get there. So maybe they think the slide back from 13 to 16 won't really hurt as we might have half a dozen names around there so we'll get 1 of them.

    Seems like we don't really rate this draft - already saying we're just taking 2 picks, so our focus might be more on moving next year.

    Maybe but I think we're targeting someone other than Cadman and I reckon we will use a first from next year with another pick to move into the top 10

    With 27 going their way as well. I don't like it and severely hinders any chance of getting into the top 10 this year if that's our intention. 

    They won’t get 27 as well

    What 27 for Grundy? Isn't that our offer?

    Could we package up our 3 x 2nd rounders for Grundy and a Future 1st?

    I think the point is they can have 13 for 16, or 27. Not both.

    At a minimum we’d get 41 back with 27, but given our value on 41 I don’t think that’s likely. Maybe a pies future 2nd if we include 27?

    That would give us three F1st in a strong draft and at a time when we will have salary cap room, to make a big play for someone.

    I actually agree with Matt Rendell. That’s a worry in itself. He says now the Pies are trying to lock in their “ins”, they must deal out Grundy 

    Rendell says that Dees hold the cards….“they’ve (Dees) got that pick 27, apparently they’re not relenting on that it’s 27 or nothing”. 

    Tim Lamb. Do not blink in this negotiation.
    It’s pick 27 or nothing.

    Love that 'balls' isn't censored, because we use them in our game. Do we have any balls? Yes, of course we do. .

    Only be 2 wouldn't it?  Or have we got a 3rd 2023 first rounder from someone else?

    Pies were always in a tough spot when they already committed to other players they have no choice but to trade Grundy, plus they only have dees as an option now. If dees walked away from this I dunno what happen as they would probably be in breach of the cap

    Our F1,  Freo F1 and new one you suggest by trading 3 seconds for Grundy and their F1.

    Where are all the posters that proclaimed that Grundy is worth a 1st round pick, so that's what we should give up? All of sudden the dual AA and BnF winner is now absent in the conversation.

    Even if we got a top 10 pick for Jackson, Grundy worth is pick 27 at the most as a salary dump by the Pies. What we got for Jackson should always have been immaterial for what we pay for Grundy.

    Wasn’t sure where to post this but here’s as good as any place.

    Collingwood said a top 25 pick. Geelong have pick 25. 
    so I propose we offer:

    13, 27 to geelong and freos future second (or ours) to Gold Coast to get back 7 and 25. Gives them the extra pick currency to be able to appease the draft regulations and gives us the top 7 pick we had a target in mind for (clearly not cadman now as speculation is that gws want him with pick 1). Geelong might want it sweetened with something extra like later round pick swaps but it seems reasonable enough to me.

    I hate how Geelong gave up less for pick 25 than what we gave up for 27.

    Going to show my ignorance here but why is a 3 spot pick downgrade worthy of a pitchfork and torch rally? Obviously I’d prefer not to do that if I had a choice, but it seems like change to me. There’d be about a 70% chance you’d get the player you wanted anyway.

    Becasue I still think we want to somehow get into the top 7/8 picks this year

Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
