Not sure of the points value of a climb up from 3rd round into early second round but it is hard to believe Bedford would be worth anywhere near that much.

32 is 2nd round. It's moving from late second to early second, yes, but a pick they might not even use

    Word is the Grundy deal will happen early. With GWS and the Tigers making a deal tomorrow, Im hopeful
     

    A great win if the club can make it happen!

    I reckon we get the Bedford done first to get our hands on pick 21. then on trade that to the pies

    Is it? One article I read stated it would only happen after the Jackson trade is done. Hopefully it's the former and no Jackson capital goes towards Grundy.

    I’ve read both, early and after. Just being hopeful here.

    Exactly.

    On one hand it’s a salary dump.

    On the other hand, we have no back up ruckman and his obviously the best available.

     

    Not a clear cut salary dump, if reports are right and they pay $300k

    A pick in the low 20’s is fair for a multiple all Australian.

    We can get 4 time All Aus Robbie Gray for a pick in the 80’s

    Pickett, while this approach could work and we 'win' the trade, such a transactional approach harm our reputation of being reasonable in negotiating trades and is likely to bite us on future trade.

    Like others have suggested if we can trade up on of our later picks to an early / mid second rounder through the loss of Hunt and Bedford.  through the Jackson trade we should then have a early first round pick this year and an extra first round next year.

    Yeah , I know but sheeeit I dont like it!

    This is specious reasoning. What are the probabilities of a player of that calibre that late in the draft? Less than 1%.

    Getting picks ‘right’ in the top 15 means stars, 200 gamers or greats of the game.

    We have a few we prepared earlier…

    Getting the picks 50+ ‘right’ means role players, 50 gamers, and projects that dont go anywhere.

    Your frustration is misplaced, literally in random threads, and in reality.

    Pretty sure the Grundy deal will be dependent on the Luke Jackson Freo deal.

    If that's the case then it's going to be a long wait as the Jsckson Freo deal will be a lot more complex.

    Why are these two deals linked?

    We are not going to give Collingwood a top 10 pick for Grundy, which is what we are asking for Jackson.

    I reckon the two deals are separate.

    Sounding like Freo want a second rounder in return along with Jackson which I was hoping to use as part of the Grundy deal. All comes down to how that one works out

    Don't think so, Matt - it seems a bit steep for a guy who can't get a regular game

    We should use the second rounder in the Grundy deal and get it done early and then we can say to Bell, sorry we don't have a second round to give you!   From memory, Bell did similar to us when he split the Freo picks before the Hogan trade (ie he reduced what he could offer us as he no longer had it).

    Robbie Gray's also about 15 years older than Grundy.

    Nah, I reckon we'll move forward irrespective of Jackson and Freo. Worst case scenario we have Jackson, Grundy and Max on our list, but we know LJ will get to a club in the West somehow.

    What are you thinking gets the deal done?

    2nd rounder?

    For Grundy? Pick 20-25. Whether it's acquired as part of a shuffling of future picks and the Bedford trade, who knows, but we can't sit on our hands and hope Peter Bell grows a brain.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
