Farewell Brodie Grundy


Ouch!

Recommended Posts

I wouldn't be trading Weid out yet if the Grundy deal falls through. Of course, Collingwood has waited to see what we get from free and getting greedy.

No deal and see how they manage their salary cap and invite Grundy back into the fold after rejecting him. Hold the line, Tim.

Just spotted this years picks after todays trading:

13, 27, 54,72

 

27 will go to Pies, probably tomorrow.

We get 42 approx for Weid.

Bundle that with 54 and 72 and maybe get a pick in the 30’s and that with 13 will be our 2 picks this year.

This is bluster for their fans. Just as Lamb coming out and saying we wanted two first round picks for Jackson.

It's optics.

Is Lamb still looking like a hero to our fans because of what he said last week about the Jackson and Bedford deals? The bluster is pointless when the result goes the other club's way.

Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. If we do the deal and he doesn't say anything up top 10 picks, some nuffy supporters complain that we just rolled over.

Further, it's also a good way of showing the supporting base what they'd like and bar. Even if you don't get it.

And yet most neutrals are saying we're easily ahead in this deal.

It's only the eternal wristslashing MFC supporters that think we got dudded.

For starters, what we got for Jackson and Bedford was spot on.

Lamb doesn't have to appease the nuffie supporters. That's the sort of stuff that Dodo does. All he has to say is that we're still working through things. He'll cop more backlash now from supporters.

I don’t think we have any option but to give Collingwood what ever they’re asking for (within reason) - if we’re in a hurry to get rid of Weid.

Imagine Gawn come next finals series if he’s shouldered 98% of the ruck for the entire home and away season with  literally no viable back up.

Grundy will surely be a Demon next year.

Lamb had showed that we will fold and get fleeced and now Collingwood want to cash in on our desperation. Seems like we played the nice guy and got played. 

Or we could just wait. Looks like we have one deal we need to get done, and this is it. If it doesn’t get done I’d say Collingwood are over their TPP. That is a world of pain.

Just wait.

Timmy Lamb would be feeling less comfortable than he’d like right about now.  

Most likely it gets done without too much fuss but the fact Collingwood are going to the media on this (after starting the discussions in good faith) suggests some risk that they might dig in and go harder on this than Lamb had expected.

Or they are posturing for the feral supporters! Diverting blame when they take the deal for P27. 

I’m hoping so

relax guys that journalist just said a pick slide of 13 to 16 was floated early in the trade period.  this is not a new development

no way we are sending 13 to the Pies in any trade

 

Time to drop the Grundy deal. We need a development deal - not a sunset career across a limited timeframe. We need someone with a strong ability to merge into our game style and with our current players (those who are left or ascending from Casey). Rest assured, Goodwin will not be making onfield modifications or plans - so innovative and clever thinking is going to be an absolute requirement from those we may select. I can only imagine that our top 5 players will be having an exhaustive season in 2023, filling gaps, having more onfield roles demanded of them, having fewer targets to visualise upfield and attempting to keep the whole team with heads above water.

We got two firsts and a second. I reckon Freo over paid.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
