Melbourne are asking for a player and picks and have offered Sydney Pick 14 plus a future pick plus Grundy for Hadyn Mclean a Forward  would do that deal now

    They will need two 2nd round picks, so maybe something like:

    Grundy and pick 27 to swans for Roos future 2nd round + pick 46

    I'd do that personally

     

    I was hoping we can get a 2nd Rounder this year and package this to GC for Pick 10, otherwise I dont mind it.

    Indeed, but Swans will want more for McLean.

    No, that is overs by a long way.

    Future picks don't need to come into this.

    14 and Grundy for McLean is a very good deal and a win win for both teams  as they both get something they really need.

    They treated him like [censored] why would he stay for  more of the same?

    I am waiting to hear his story when  he wins a flag  with the Swans or maybe what May says about him next year

    I am even more looking forward to what folks on here say about Tom Hawkins if he kicks 5 in the G/F to seal  the flag for the Dee's next season.

    I season at $600 000.!

    Can someone remind me of the usual number of players taken in a draft. IIRC it's between 50 and 60 but I could be wrong.

    Pick 44 if so is at the wrong end of the barrel especially when it's around 49 allowing for concessions

    actually 44 probably becomes <44 because of all the multi picks for f/s and academy players beforehand

    Rubbish source I know but on SEN this morning there was talk of the AFL agenda items and that the 5 man interchange was in the mix again. 

    If this comes to pass, I'm keeping Grundy. That gives us the flexibility to effectively run with 2 first rucks.

    Club needs to get a look at the AFL crystal ball before we shunt him off

    So we got a "not even goodwill" out of handing JJ to them amicably, you know what i mean.

    JJ was a free agent

    Is holding on to Brodie a realistic option? Can whatever was broken be mended? 

    Great question.  Answer TBA

    MFCSS tells me that the AFL will wait to see what we do before announcing anything.   If we part ways they will extend the interchange: if he stays they will change the rule that no ruckman can ever be named on the interchange. 🙄😱MFCSS +

     

    PS straight swap for Guerdion (?spelling) would be ok 🤗🤗

    If you want someone that badly do you offer pick 46?

    They know we want to offload

    Could just be poor negotiating on their behalf. Softening us up in the hope we accept pick 33 later

    So, thats 46 and probably a pick in the mid 30's if the swans finish somewhere between 4 -8

    Haven’t done the maths but probably similar value to the pick 27 we paid for him? 

    Currently leaves us with 6, 11, 41 and 46 for this year, with our own future picks, Sydney’s future second and Dogs future third 

    A bit to play out yet…

    A future 2nd is in the 20s, if Sydney struggle next year, or the 30s if they do well. 

    I’m comfortable with it given we clearly didn’t consider him part of our future.

    And so ends one of the more interesting player trades we’ve engaged in. I reckon Grundy will do really well at Sydney, and I actually hope he does.

    Haven't seen confirmation on it yet but based on this years ladder position it would have been 31 and 46.

    Was 29 but pushed back 2 spots for north compo picks.

    F2 Can fall anywhere between 21 and 39.

    A very mild death ride next year.

    Perhaps a slow decline ride?

    based on points

    21 & 46 = equivalent pick 14

    39 & 46 = 25

    He’ll do very well at Sydney, they again will be right up there in the mix to win a flag.

    What debacle it has been since he arrived at the club, getting him was not the issue (replacement for Jackson) but what we did (and didn’t do more importantly) with him while the team yet again went out in straight sets was a disgrace.

    We had Petracca in the ruck while Grundy sat in the stands.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
