Tough fr the pies lol, after all they asked fr 20-25 and weโ€™ve apparantly disrespected them badly by offering 27.ย 

looking forward to the dees standing their ground or handing them a future 4th.ย

We should threaten to walk away if not done today for 27.

5 years at $1m per year. Oh yeah!

ย 

A lot of posturing goes on as part of trade negotiations. I'm surprised so many posters get sucked in by it.ย 

This deal will get done today for pick 27 and maybe some later pick swaps. Pies can take it or leave it. I'm sure they'll take it cos they have no choice


Iโ€™m sure weโ€™ll end up getting Grundy but what happens if we donโ€™t?

Who on the list will be our first ruck if Gawn misses games?

Who will be that player to allow Gawn to be fresh and injury free come September?ย

Dees should trade out picks 13, 27 and F2 to Cats in return for their 7 and 25.ย  Dees trade 25 to Filth for Grundy. Cats trade 13 to Filth for Henry.
ย 
Dees free up $1m in salary cap by trading outย Weids, Hunt, Bedford etc (Jackos exit covers Grundy).ย Dees target Whitfield (or Georgiades) by trading out our future first round pick plus what we get for Weids.
ย 
Dees bring in Grundy and Whitfield (or Georgiades) and go to draft with pick 7.

Hold fire on the Weed trade until this is done. We could get caught with pants down.ย 

Thats my concern too.

Hopefully Tim Lamb has a contingency for a second ruck option if Grundy falls through.ย  We are not in an unbeatable negotiating position on this issue as some say.

Maybe we are and Tim has a solution.ย  Today will tell.

Blind Freddy could tell you we will not be trading Weid if the Grundy deal can't get done. The only way the Weid deal get done beforehand is if it is part of the Grundy trade or Collingwood gives us an undertaking that the pick we get for Weid will be acceptable as part of the trade for Grundy. However given the likely low pick I doubt that will be the case.

If the Grundy deal is dead then Weid will be the backup ruck. God help Max Gawn body if that is the case.

Is there any way Weid could be part of this deal or is the Essendon deal now too much of a domino for all the other stupid trades around the league to get done?

Not sure the cats would go fr that. OUT 7 , 25 IN 13, 27 and 35 ish.ย

Terrible deal for Geelong.ย  Henry is not worth anything like that.

Mate our list management process so far hasn't exactly filled many supporters with great confidence so far.

Everything Tim Lamb stated at the start of trade period has gone the complete opposite.

So apologies if many are confused by the direction all of a sudden.

Still 2 days to go and still confidence we'll add some experienced depth so far. I would hope.

Lamb looking very sacrificial at the moment!

This thread is turning into a Lamb roast. Let's not judge him until the we see the final outcome, the could be some big deals yet to come through. Source: Mint.

We're a bit deep into this now and have discussed plans for Grundy in the side, I 've never been the biggest fan of the trade but it would be a shame if it fell down now. Collingwood did this to themselves.ย 

Collingwood will be using this bluster about a top 25 pick as a way to negotiate down their part of the salary. I sincerely hope we tell them to stuff it and will be [censored] if we end up paying more than we would have liked for the next 5 years.

Does it matter? Ruck is the most over rated position on the ground. Dogs have gone with Bont in the ruck, Tigers have gone with Rioli at times. I'm sure we'll find some lug to bash and crash in the rookie/mid season draft if it comes to it, otherwise with our midfield it shouldn't matter anyway.ย

Simultaneously a shame for us and also funny at Collingwood, so somewhat of a win?

Sorry to be dim but does "Source :Mint" mean you have a great source on this (some big deal)?ย 

How does Collingwoods no deal on Grundy compare to ours regarding LJ?ย 
ย 

It is clear they have no leverage and risk busting their cap, but I believe them whereas we could afford to lose LJ and potentially get him to WC but looked like a deer in headlights.ย

Grundy in contract.ย  Jackson wasn't.

They are bluffing.ย  They want to get Fiorini from GCS and Mitchell from Hawks.ย  If they keep Grundy they have neither the sal cap nor draft picks to do those trades.

A pick within first 25 was their ambit claim.ย  As others have said about our trades there is no reason to meet what they want.ย  Even tho he is under contract they don't want him.ย  Not much leverage.

Call their bluff!

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
