We’ve been keen on Mitch Georgiades since his draft year…  

 

Thanks @TeamPlayedFine39, I wonder if we're still keen though? Especially now that @Jaded No More has put Butters on the table (sounds a bit controversial when you say it out loud).

the thing with recruiting collingwood players, is even when they make the squad of 25 its headline news. its just ridiculous week after week how many non-stories are posted about Grundy.  The stories this week are he may or may not be back, riverting news. Geez I hope he plays in a finals against them and we win.

Hmm I’m not so sure. Petty might play forward and keep Tomo in.

And Tomlinson named in the 18 which normally means they will not be an omission when the final team drops.

Grundy for georgiades is a fair swap I reckon.

that said I would be very surprised if Grundy is traded. He’s Maxys successor so we’ll just create a problem for ourselves if we trade.

An AA ruckman for a not proven forward with an ACL injury is a fair swap? 

Ok Peter Bell, tell me more.

Comparing me to Peter Bell! I'm deeply insulted.

Not proven is little unfair i reckon. He kicked 32 goals in 2021 and 23 last year (although he was wayward and kicked a lot of behinds. his yips are fixable though). Was a first round pick. Eagles were apparently chasing him last year. At 22, he's much younger than Grundy. ACL's are far from career ending compared to back in the day. obviously any trade subject to a proper medical 

And i reckon he'd be playing in our first team at the moment while Grundy languishes at Casey.

It means that they don't have a lot of faith in Tomlinson playing well consistently, and are happy to throw Petty forward this week, then next week drop Tomlinson when he is slightly below par and swing Petty back and put Grundy forward after two strong weeks in the VFL.

Edit: I think Tomlinson has been pretty good, but based on selection patterns this year the selection pattern don't think he is the answer.

Damian Barrett( I know I know) on the radio just now, very adamant the Grundy is gone this trade window. Sounded more like he has info that’s the case other than just speculating.

It could be a complicated deal if it happened, as Dees won’t want to pay any of his contract and Pies money might not be transferable.

He did mention that the payment structure would be complicated to work out by was confident it wouldn’t stop the deal from getting done. 
Really if he does decide to leave it would be down to his management and whatever club decides to take him to sort that end of it out as I think we would be reluctant for him to leave.

He can't leave without MFC letting him go, Dunkley wanted to leave the Bulldogs a couple of years ago, Papley wanted to leave the Swans a few years ago, neither would agree to let these players go.

This was mentioned in the media a few weeks back. If correct sounds like some sloppy paper work. Not quite as bad as the Dogs and Pies with Treloar but up there.

Hopefully they covered off the scenario plus others such as smoothing out his contract.

As salary dumps become more common it's perhaps time that the agreements became less opaque

The thing is, we need leadership in the forward line.  Brown was providing that.  Petty is still young, and hasn't played enough in the forward to provide leadership.  

Melksham is capable.  Has the experience plus finals cred.

Why, I don’t think we ever considered he would leave if he came to us.

Better to get rid of BBB and TMac really.

Grundy will likely play 1st ruck for MFC in good time and can be a "ruck rover" in the interim if Goodwin can fix the line up forward.

Fortunately he's the coach, not I

Both BBB and Tmac have contracts for next year and I don't see anyone taking them.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
