Farewell Brodie Grundy

Ouch!
Ouch!
in Melbourne Demons

We could do 13 + 27 for 16 + 41 + Grundy. If the draft is even after the first few we could still get our player at 16, and 41 will come right in after Brisbane's F/Ss and we don't have a 2nd pick until 54.

    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.

    I like it, Rooter. If Geelong rate Henry at pick 13, which given he was a pick 17 and has shown some handy glimpses at the top level could be a fair trade. I'd want Georgiades ahead of Whitfield though.

    It's a good idea but I just don't think Collingwood deserve pick 13.

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

    Of course not.

    The hold up on this is ridiculous. You telling me that if we had 25 it would be done, but we have 27 so its not getting done? 

    Just give them Pick 27 and another pick later.. what sit matter.. we are taking 2 picks maybe 3 to the draft.

    This embargo, all contrived to get us to tune in when they want us to...just like watching the old Batman TV Series

    This is stupid. Talk about milking it for all it's worth. Media discussion has been all day every day for weeks at this point. It's got more coverage than a [censored] war impacting the entire globe. It's shameful.

    All part of the brilliance of the AFL in having hundreds of thousands of people hitting F5 every 2 minutes to find out what is going on.

    The part that amazes me is that it is Collingwood who has been trying to get  the bun out for 6 months. It wasn't us trying  to seduce him away from the pies. They want  him out. Take it or leave it pies.

    Once again it is all about the media. We sold our soul to the devil years ago. If possible it will only get worse.

    That would be extremely disappointing. Hold firm guys!

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

    If you look at it the value of each pick using the points system, the cats end up being slightly ahead with this trade.  Ultimately it will depend on how much the Cats want Henry to fill the void when Tomahawk retires.

    I don't recall selling my soul old dee.  More like my having had it extracted by Voldemort.

    Cats aren't going to move 6 spots backwards out of the top 10 for a F2 (Pick 30ish). We moved from 33 to 27 for around the same value.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
