Sydney is armed with picks No.21 and No.29

They'd have to give us both of those picks

    As I previously stated we should demand Amati plus their first draft pick if Brodie requests a transfer  discussed BUT AGAIN has Grundy STATED HE WANTS TO LEAVE No?

    I rest my case

    He's professional so regardless of the behind the scenes manoeuvring I wouldn't expect any such statement by Grundy until our season is over.

    Yep, he doesn't want to be the no 1 ruckman in the VFL.  He goes to Sydney is the No 1 ruck and good luck to him.  Just give us a blinder on Friday night and help us beat the blues

     Not sure resting your case wins the debate. 😜😜

    Tom Morris can buzz off. He has lost all credibility in my view. In fact most of the media are scumbags!

    We're actually going to really need Brodie Grundy this week if Max Gawn "allegedly" has a broken toe.

    Fingers crossed we can get this ruck duo to work for the next 3 games in this finals campaign. 🤞

    Does Grundy actually want to leave? 

     

    I reckon his time as the #1 ruck at the Dees will come sooner than what people think

    Gawn may have 1 legit season left if his body cannot cope anymore

    And if it works in the next 3 games why not beyond???? Reckon Brodie has shown his class throughout all that has transpired for him this year. Proud to have him as a Demon.

    Damn.  I was hoping for a bidding war

    He's contracted, we don't need a bidding war. We have every right to hold him to his contract if we don't get what we want.

    One of the worst list management decisions of recent times.

    I’d rather leave him at the pies to bleed their salary cap for the next 5 years

    I agree with that. Let him stay at Melbourne. We need a back up ruckman. He can stay and not go to Port Adelade

    But if the club needs the draft picks a bidding war would be good

    Bidding wars rarely happen and would only be the case in free agents.

    Once Grundy nominates a club, looking like Sydney, we'll negotiate with them alone. 

    We do slightly hold the whip hand though in that we can keep him to our contract if we aren't happy with the compensation. All in all I think we move him on and we utilise the extra draft capital to have a crack at Gold Coasts pick 4.

    And Sydney are desperate for a No.1 ruckman. 

    They hold picks 11, 22, 30, 41. 

    I highly doubt they give us 22. We should go for Picks 30 + 41 (points equivalent to late 1st round pick)

    We can then trade 24,30,34,41 (2368) to GC for Pick 4, whilst retaining Pick 15. What people don't talk about is the power we will have over GC. We can call in all of their Academy picks at pick 5, costing them more points than they would have planned for. We could use this force them to trade with us over say a Bulldog's. 

    This leaves us with 4,5,15 in this years draft (before any compensation)

    Options from here:

    1. Take 4+5 to either WCE  for Pick 1 

    2. Take 5+15 to Hawks for Pick 3.

    3. Take 4+15 to North for Pick 2

    4. Take them all to the draft.

    Hope Grundy stays. I think at times this year he struggled with endurance, maybe his injured 2022 season had something to do with it.

    With another MFC preseason under his belt, I can't see how the Grawndy duo won't work.

    I agree a full preseason under his belt and who knows what we might have.

    I think pick 22 for Grundy is fair. I don't think GC will swap pick 4 for those NQR picks. Holding clubs over a barrel never works out into the future. Just look at Peter Bell.

    That's exactly right. Good players nominate a club and off they go. Grundy will tell us who he wants to go to, and we will try to get the best possible deal for ourselves, while not actively trying to screw over Grundy because we are not Essendon.

    We will get it done, but it will be on our terms, or we will be happy to keep him.

    We gave up pick 27 for him last year. Unfortunately after a bit of haggling I think we'll only get Pick 40 back from Sydney. He's a year older.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
