I am amazed that people talk about how high or low or what draft picks you give to trade or get players in, one just have a look how Geelong get it down if they want a player they just do it, the trade closes Wednesday night and if they want Grundy they will do a deal and where that sits, is up to the club.

 

Wieid likely on the way out. Probably Dons 3rd or 4th. Throw that in with pick 27 for Grundy.

You're dreaming. 

Is the value so far off? Geelong can’t make the trade happen without securing a future second rounder to appease Gold Coast or get approval from the afl like port tried to. Might as well attempt to get involved, or watch someone else do it and wish we did. 

 

Are we waiting for the weid deal to get done for this to happen, seems like we've talking about grundy for a while for nothing to happen yet. Anyone know if there is anything else holding up the deal?

Geelong aren't giving up pick 7 for pick 13 and steak knives. They'd only give up pick 7 for 2 1st round picks in the teens.

What have we got currently as currency? This draft and futures.?

I am firing shots blind!!

Dammed confusing.

I wonder if we would do a similar deal, to move up the draft

After they realise nobody will give them that, our offer would* still be there. They don’t even have pick 7 unless they get the future second rounder Gold Coast want

Collingwood are threatening to hang on to Brodie Grundy after Melbourne refused a proposal to swap first round picks as part of the deal for the ruckman, which came on a busy day of trades which saw the Demons finally complete a three-club deal to get Luke Jackson to Fremantle.

Melbourne have refused to offer more than pick 27 for the two-time All-Australian ruckman, who is contracted to Collingwood for five more years on big money. Collingwood have offered to pay some of Grundy’s contract at Melbourne.

Collingwood had said at the outset of trade talks they wanted a draft pick inside 25 for Grundy. In early trades Melbourne secured pick 27, a selection Collingwood said is insufficient on its own to do the Grundy deal.

On Monday Melbourne received pick 13 as part of the exchange that saw Jackson finally land at Fremantle. Collingwood have proposed trading Grundy and pick 16 to Melbourne for the Demons’ picks 13 and 27. Melbourne has rejected this.

Collingwood could alternatively seek to revise down slightly the amount of money they contribute to Grundy’s salary in exchange for accepting the slightly later pick. The club has also said they are prepared to keep the ruckman and abandon the trade.

Good. Walk away and leave them paying a million a year for him.

Beautiful. I hope they keep Grundy.

Let's see who blinks first. Tim Lamb is 0-2 on his trade bluster to date (Jackson and Bedford). 

Weid on the news. Deal tomorrow. Presenter said likely future 3rd round pick. A bit more ammo for the Grundy deal.

Good luck.  


Trade for Jeelongs pick 25

Then Jeelong can offer 27 for Henry!

Pies: WE THREATEN TO KEEP OUR AA RUCKMAN THAT WE’VE OVERPAID FOR AND CAN’T AFFORD UNDER THE SALARY CAP

Us: o…..k?

This is bluster for their fans. Just as Lamb coming out and saying we wanted two first round picks for Jackson.

It's optics.

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

Haha I actually forgot about our own pick.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
