I think we need to get another club interested to get a higher premium from the Swans. 

How bout Geelong maybe we can rock tease them a bit to get a bit of talk around Grunds.

Swans are the biggest bunch of vultures who prey on the misfortune of players from other clubs and want players for unders everytime.

Absolute Scrooge's.

100% right Would Reid be a good get or is he cooked???

Collingwood managed without a ruckman for around six weeks. They won 5 IIRC

Rucks can be covered

It's not winning the tap...it's winning the clearance..   can we as a club please get around this concept....

WE aren't paying 700k..   that's the point here

 

I think you'll find we are (or were)

Pies $300k

The Swans opening offer of 46 and us having Schache as the sub before Grundy was quire pointed

If we somehow get a pick in the 20's we might be liable to pay some of Grundy's salary (as the Pies did)

With both Collingwood and Melbourne wanting pick 25 for Adams and Grundy respectively, I can't see Sydney getting both.  Both Melbourne and Collingwood have told these players that they are required players and a trade would only happen for the right price.  This could be interesting.

Funnily enough, last night when I mentioned this on a Facebook thread some Sydney nufty said the deal could be done if Sydney and Melbourne do a straight swap of pics - 14 and 25 for 12, 27 and Grundy.  I asked him if he though Melbourne would be that stupid to go with that, given they'd be basically giving Grundy away under that scenario.  Strangely enough he hasn't responded.

Too many [censored] supporters.

Not according to Collingwood, who yesterday said their deal was with Grundy, not Melbourne or Sydney.  Collingwood would still be liable.

@Macca you keep tying the draft pick we reciece with some kind of inverse relationship to the proportion (if any) of salary we pay. 

Is this common?

I would have thought the more you value someone the more willing you are to pay their salary and offer a better pick not one going the opposite to the other. 

Understand there has to be a balancing act with a range of factors just interested is this how trades work nowdays?

Of course the Pies are still liable

I'm talking about paying a percentage of $700k if we want a better placed draft pick (in theory)

My reading of the deal is that the Swans need Grundy but we need him off the books  ... so a compromised solution could be reached

Yes but equally, do we value Grundy?

If so, how on earth does Schache get preferred to Grundy?

And then not get used when our KPF’s were poor on the day. That will go down in history as a wonder of the 21st century Macca.

Grundy turns 30 early next year and is on a combined $4Million deal for 4 years ($300k covered by the Pies)

If we were in need of a first choice ruckman would we be prepared to pay that amount of money plus give away a pick in 20's?  

For a 30yo ruckman with limitations? Can't play back or forward?

A pick in the 30's is probably going to happen

Yes - if we didn’t have a ruckman to field and wanted a premium ruckman. Supply & Demand.

Very poor negotiation on the part of Sydney. An offer like that send all the wrong messages to the market.  We are perfectly entitled to say to Grundy's management, we try to help players out and do quick and fair deals (see JJ and Harmes) and we have tried a fair deal for Brody but we are not going to be treated with contempt, Brody can take it up with the Swans.

We got Grundy for pick 27 as a 29 year old who hadn’t played a game of footy for almost a year and was still injured while we had the best ruckman in the game on our list. Collingwood rated him BEHIND Cameron and Cox on their list. 

Sydney have no ruckman, we have no quality mature backup ruckman, we don’t have a problem with cap space, we are likely to replace Hibberd, Dunstan, Harmes with young draftees, giving us MORE cap space.

We don’t HAVE to trade Grundy, if he wants to sook he can sit in the stands for a year on a million dollars and we have backup if the unthinkable happened and Max got injured, at which stage Grundy would probably get all “I love the Dees” “demon symbol on forehead” again and play well.

Sydney have to offer us something that makes us want to move him, we don’t make our opponents better for nothing and contrary to the media speculation, we don’t owe Brodie anything, he’s had every chance and would have every chance again next year if he stayed and showed a willingness to work on his flaws.

Well Sydney don't rank him too highly as they've only offered pick 46

The question is ... do Sydney want him that badly?

If we had no ruckman probably Macca, that’s the situation the Swans find themselves in. It will get done eventually.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
