Sydney is armed with picks No.21 and No.29

They'd have to give us both of those picks

    As I previously stated we should demand Amati plus their first draft pick if Brodie requests a transfer  discussed BUT AGAIN has Grundy STATED HE WANTS TO LEAVE No?

    I rest my case

    He's professional so regardless of the behind the scenes manoeuvring I wouldn't expect any such statement by Grundy until our season is over.

    Yep, he doesn't want to be the no 1 ruckman in the VFL.  He goes to Sydney is the No 1 ruck and good luck to him.  Just give us a blinder on Friday night and help us beat the blues

     Not sure resting your case wins the debate. 😜😜

    Tom Morris can buzz off. He has lost all credibility in my view. In fact most of the media are scumbags!

    We're actually going to really need Brodie Grundy this week if Max Gawn "allegedly" has a broken toe.

    Fingers crossed we can get this ruck duo to work for the next 3 games in this finals campaign. 🤞

    Does Grundy actually want to leave? 

     

    I reckon his time as the #1 ruck at the Dees will come sooner than what people think

    Gawn may have 1 legit season left if his body cannot cope anymore

    And if it works in the next 3 games why not beyond???? Reckon Brodie has shown his class throughout all that has transpired for him this year. Proud to have him as a Demon.

    He's contracted, we don't need a bidding war. We have every right to hold him to his contract if we don't get what we want.

    One of the worst list management decisions of recent times.

    I’d rather leave him at the pies to bleed their salary cap for the next 5 years

    I agree with that. Let him stay at Melbourne. We need a back up ruckman. He can stay and not go to Port Adelade

    But if the club needs the draft picks a bidding war would be good

    Bidding wars rarely happen and would only be the case in free agents.

    Once Grundy nominates a club, looking like Sydney, we'll negotiate with them alone. 

    We do slightly hold the whip hand though in that we can keep him to our contract if we aren't happy with the compensation. All in all I think we move him on and we utilise the extra draft capital to have a crack at Gold Coasts pick 4.

    And Sydney are desperate for a No.1 ruckman. 

    They hold picks 11, 22, 30, 41. 

    I highly doubt they give us 22. We should go for Picks 30 + 41 (points equivalent to late 1st round pick)

    We can then trade 24,30,34,41 (2368) to GC for Pick 4, whilst retaining Pick 15. What people don't talk about is the power we will have over GC. We can call in all of their Academy picks at pick 5, costing them more points than they would have planned for. We could use this force them to trade with us over say a Bulldog's. 

    This leaves us with 4,5,15 in this years draft (before any compensation)

    Options from here:

    1. Take 4+5 to either WCE  for Pick 1 

    2. Take 5+15 to Hawks for Pick 3.

    3. Take 4+15 to North for Pick 2

    4. Take them all to the draft.

    Hope Grundy stays. I think at times this year he struggled with endurance, maybe his injured 2022 season had something to do with it.

    With another MFC preseason under his belt, I can't see how the Grawndy duo won't work.

    I agree a full preseason under his belt and who knows what we might have.

    I think pick 22 for Grundy is fair. I don't think GC will swap pick 4 for those NQR picks. Holding clubs over a barrel never works out into the future. Just look at Peter Bell.

    That's exactly right. Good players nominate a club and off they go. Grundy will tell us who he wants to go to, and we will try to get the best possible deal for ourselves, while not actively trying to screw over Grundy because we are not Essendon.

    We will get it done, but it will be on our terms, or we will be happy to keep him.

    We gave up pick 27 for him last year. Unfortunately after a bit of haggling I think we'll only get Pick 40 back from Sydney. He's a year older.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
