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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
