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

    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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
