Tough fr the pies lol, after all they asked fr 20-25 and we’ve apparantly disrespected them badly by offering 27. 

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

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

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

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

    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

    I’m sure we’ll end up getting Grundy but what happens if we don’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?

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

    Thats my concern too.

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

    Maybe we are and Tim has a solution.  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?

    A bold suggestion @Big Red Rooster, the colossal crimson [censored] may be on to something?

    Terrible deal for Geelong.  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. 

  • Quote

    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.

    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)?

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

    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.

    Yeah at the end of the day it is a no loss situation in terms of humour!

    Grundy in contract.  Jackson wasn't.

    They are bluffing.  They want to get Fiorini from GCS and Mitchell from Hawks.  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.  As others have said about our trades there is no reason to meet what they want.  Even tho he is under contract they don't want him.  Not much leverage.

    Call their bluff!

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
