We’ve been keen on Mitch Georgiades since his draft year…  

 

Thanks @TeamPlayedFine39, I wonder if we're still keen though? Especially now that @Jaded No More has put Butters on the table (sounds a bit controversial when you say it out loud).

    the thing with recruiting collingwood players, is even when they make the squad of 25 its headline news. its just ridiculous week after week how many non-stories are posted about Grundy.  The stories this week are he may or may not be back, riverting news. Geez I hope he plays in a finals against them and we win.

    Hmm I’m not so sure. Petty might play forward and keep Tomo in.

    And Tomlinson named in the 18 which normally means they will not be an omission when the final team drops.

    Grundy for georgiades is a fair swap I reckon.

    that said I would be very surprised if Grundy is traded. He’s Maxys successor so we’ll just create a problem for ourselves if we trade.

    It's not really a third straight week is it?  I though Casey had the bye two weeks ago.

    Casey played a scratch match against the Saints on that bye weekend.

    An AA ruckman for a not proven forward with an ACL injury is a fair swap? 

    Ok Peter Bell, tell me more.

    Comparing me to Peter Bell! I'm deeply insulted.

    Not proven is little unfair i reckon. He kicked 32 goals in 2021 and 23 last year (although he was wayward and kicked a lot of behinds. his yips are fixable though). Was a first round pick. Eagles were apparently chasing him last year. At 22, he's much younger than Grundy. ACL's are far from career ending compared to back in the day. obviously any trade subject to a proper medical 

    And i reckon he'd be playing in our first team at the moment while Grundy languishes at Casey.

    It means that they don't have a lot of faith in Tomlinson playing well consistently, and are happy to throw Petty forward this week, then next week drop Tomlinson when he is slightly below par and swing Petty back and put Grundy forward after two strong weeks in the VFL.

    Edit: I think Tomlinson has been pretty good, but based on selection patterns this year the selection pattern don't think he is the answer.

    Damian Barrett( I know I know) on the radio just now, very adamant the Grundy is gone this trade window. Sounded more like he has info that’s the case other than just speculating.

    It could be a complicated deal if it happened, as Dees won’t want to pay any of his contract and Pies money might not be transferable.

    He did mention that the payment structure would be complicated to work out by was confident it wouldn’t stop the deal from getting done. 
    Really if he does decide to leave it would be down to his management and whatever club decides to take him to sort that end of it out as I think we would be reluctant for him to leave.

    He can't leave without MFC letting him go, Dunkley wanted to leave the Bulldogs a couple of years ago, Papley wanted to leave the Swans a few years ago, neither would agree to let these players go.

    This was mentioned in the media a few weeks back. If correct sounds like some sloppy paper work. Not quite as bad as the Dogs and Pies with Treloar but up there.

    Hopefully they covered off the scenario plus others such as smoothing out his contract.

    As salary dumps become more common it's perhaps time that the agreements became less opaque

    The thing is, we need leadership in the forward line.  Brown was providing that.  Petty is still young, and hasn't played enough in the forward to provide leadership.  

    Melksham is capable.  Has the experience plus finals cred.

    Why, I don’t think we ever considered he would leave if he came to us.

    Better to get rid of BBB and TMac really.

    Grundy will likely play 1st ruck for MFC in good time and can be a "ruck rover" in the interim if Goodwin can fix the line up forward.

    Fortunately he's the coach, not I

    Both BBB and Tmac have contracts for next year and I don't see anyone taking them.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
