Great outcome for us. Grundy is an upgrade on that last ruck man who left for Freo and whom I've forgotten his name!. Get Grundy fit and away we go.

    We lost on the Jackson trade, but at least we won big time on this one.

    Absolute bargain for a top 5 AFL ruckman. 

     

    No other club saw value in the deal... even to the extent they got into discussions/negotiations

    Anyway let's hope it works

    Greatest ruck pairing ever? Certainly in terms of Supercoach scores we are loading up

    The way he has whinged all through this trade period I guess he would.

    Can't think of a better ruck duo in the history of the game on paper

    Max Gawn, the first champion demons player of my life time and the first or second for most of demonland I’d imagine, is now Mason Cox with worse gags and no sunglasses.

    The big bearded fella was never going to last forever but it’s a sad day and we should all take a moment to reflect on that.

    Welcome Brodie. If you’re coachable and willing to play a team brand of football you might be a handy pick up. If he still thinks it’s the Grundy show then he might be off to Tassie in a few years.

    Will need to see him in our clash strip first

    Yes happy days. The Gawn-Grundy combo will be an experiment but it gives them options and even allows each to have a “managed” game through the year.  Ruckwork can be brutal on the body and we’d like to sustain big Maxy as long as possible.
     

    At pick 27, it’s a good deal. Tim Lamb held firm.  He’s welcome back into the Demonland poker night.   Pies had already signed DEGOEY and Mcstay so had to move Grundy $$$ out.

    So what are we left with? 13 and….. then 2 firsts, 2 seconds and a third in the strong draft next year, when we have a f/s prospect to boot?

    501k can also be seen to be the bulk of 1m

    I read a million a year with Collingwood covering 300k

    Fantastic result of true

    Pick 27 for Grundy on paper is a great trade. 

    Still hard to picture how him and Gawn will work together without diminishing each others strengths, but at least the club is being creative here and has replaced a ruckman in Jackson immediately.

    Worried how much his salary is going to cost us though!

    I believe the pies are paying $300k of the $1mill a year... so nothing has changed on that front it seems. If we get him fit, paying $700k for an elite ruck is a bargain even at $750k.

    That's not a great deal. It's the one every club rejected when it was floated over a month ago

    And you know that how?

    The report of the trade mentions that Port Adelaide, GWS and Geelong were all interested but that Grundy dismissed each as he didn't want to leave Melbourne.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
