Farewell Brodie Grundy

[old55 21,352]

We could do 13 + 27 for 16 + 41 + Grundy. If the draft is even after the first few we could still get our player at 16, and 41 will come right in after Brisbane's F/Ss and we don't have a 2nd pick until 54.

Dees should trade out picks 13, 27 and F2 to Cats in return for their 7 and 25.  Dees trade 25 to Filth for Grundy. Cats trade 13 to Filth for Henry.

 

Dees free up $1m in salary cap by trading out Weids, Hunt, Bedford etc (Jackos exit covers Grundy). Dees target Whitfield (or Georgiades) by trading out our future first round pick plus what we get for Weids.

 

Dees bring in Grundy and Whitfield (or Georgiades) and go to draft with pick 7.

I like it, Rooter. If Geelong rate Henry at pick 13, which given he was a pick 17 and has shown some handy glimpses at the top level could be a fair trade. I'd want Georgiades ahead of Whitfield though.

It's a good idea but I just don't think Collingwood deserve pick 13.

Sorry to be dim but does "Source :Mint" mean you have a great source on this (some big deal)? 

Of course not.

Or does it mean that with a lamb roast the preference is for mint sauce? 😉

If no deal is done today then we won't know whether the deal has gone through until the primetime trade week variety hour.

Funny because there is a news feed called Mint(Live Mint from India) ... very busy during the time of the pandemic and vaccine production

well I think you've answered the question

All the Grundy related deals will be embargoed so they can have their TV event

[whatwhat say what 19,011]

gunston done to the bears

grundy will be saved for tv coverage tomorrow you'd imagine

The hold up on this is ridiculous. You telling me that if we had 25 it would be done, but we have 27 so its not getting done? 

Just give them Pick 27 and another pick later.. what sit matter.. we are taking 2 picks maybe 3 to the draft. 

[TRIGON 4,718]

This embargo, all contrived to get us to tune in when they want us to...just like watching the old Batman TV Series

This is stupid. Talk about milking it for all it's worth. Media discussion has been all day every day for weeks at this point. It's got more coverage than a [censored] war impacting the entire globe. It's shameful.

All part of the brilliance of the AFL in having hundreds of thousands of people hitting F5 every 2 minutes to find out what is going on.

The part that amazes me is that it is Collingwood who has been trying to get  the bun out for 6 months. It wasn't us trying  to seduce him away from the pies. They want  him out. Take it or leave it pies.

Don't tell me we're gonna roll over to this mob for pick 13 and whatever for a questionablly fit/capable lumbering ruckman??

If so SG & the FD have seriously lost the plot.

Once again it is all about the media. We sold our soul to the devil years ago. If possible it will only get worse.

That would be extremely disappointing. Hold firm guys!

Not sure the cats would go fr that. OUT 7 , 25 IN 13, 27 and 35 ish. 

If you look at it the value of each pick using the points system, the cats end up being slightly ahead with this trade.  Ultimately it will depend on how much the Cats want Henry to fill the void when Tomahawk retires.

I don't recall selling my soul old dee.  More like my having had it extracted by Voldemort.

Cats aren't going to move 6 spots backwards out of the top 10 for a F2 (Pick 30ish). We moved from 33 to 27 for around the same value.
