I reckon it speaks more to the way we're trying to play than anything else, i don't think we might losing clearance on our terms, 

Yep, exactly.

 

How upset this is making Collingwood fans has genuinely made this all worth it for me. Even if he never plays a game or the fit doesn't work i'm so wrapped they're upset.

 

So do I read this right:

grundy was on a front loaded deal, meaning the ongoing rate is reduced from the big number bandied around?

the filth will look to pay some of his salary

he will take a pay cut to join us?

sounds like we get a pretty good deal from all of this, depending on the pick traded.


Clear to see how much Pies fans value Grundy from the comments on social media.

So good to be screwing them over

what were they thinking giving him a $7m deal!?  hilarious

Most on here think we are being done over by giving then anything but a 4th rounder.

With both sides unhappy it probably means it's a fair deal.

 

Come on, Collingwood. All you need to do, is bend over.

And take it.

At least one of our long term deals will probably go to (bad) if it’s hasn’t already. That’s without mentioning medium term deals like Lever, Gawn, Tomlinson, Brown, McDonald.

The Pies had 3 choices:
- Trade an All Aus ruck a year ahead of time
- Accept a very ordinary late first round compo in a mess of a draft when he left to Adelaide 
- pay him market value 

They’ve had him for 2 more years and will be left with 1.5M dead cap but they’ve get a similar worth pick now than if they just let him go as a free agent in 2020.

Who would take a long term deal with Collingwood and expect them to keep their side of the deal.

4th choice is manage your list well. If you see him as someone to build your team around for 7 years, lock him in early at a reasonable salary - see MFC approach. If you don’t value him that highly, trade him early and get good comp. They waited and then panicked 

Why do you think Trac or Clarry will go bad? Can’t see it happening. We are giving long term deals to gun players that we want to keep forever. Not trade when we screw up the cap

So your advice to Collingwood was to trade Grundy in 2019 when he was All Aus and they’d lost a grand final by a kick a year prior? The signed him in January 2020, there’s only so much earlier you can sign a guy. We got Oliver and Tracc midseason 16 or so months out but not sure it was a huge discount, they’ll be on close to 7 figures too.

I’m not doom riding Oliver and Tracc. But I think we have to be careful with Tracc’s injuries to keep him fresh. 

Brayshaw everyone knows my thoughts on. Salem and Fritsch have 4 left I wouldn’t see them certainties to last.

my advice is to decide if they think Grundy was that good, sign him up, pay the money and see out the contract.  If not, trade him.  don't panic and sign him up on a 7mill deal and then decide he is not that good 2 years later. The Pies seem to think the number of years on a contract don't matter once the player stays for the next 1-2 years. and then they throw them under the bus 1/4 way through

He was that good, then he got injuries, they had a cheaper alternative and now they’re moving on. We tried to do the same to Tom McDonald after 2020, we’re trying to do it with Tomlinson, that’s footy. 
 

The Treloar situation was a bit different because they asked him to be back ended, then slandered him in the press when they wanted him offloaded. 

Couldn't care less, this last little bit of haggle will work out in our favour, I'm confident. 


With pick 21# from GWS going to Brisbane it looks like it is "take it or leave it" for Collingwood to accept pick 27# from Melbourne for Brodie Grundy.

Nah, heaps of options.

27 and future third, or even trade Bedford and 27 to GWS for 19 and 44, then offer 19 for Grundy.

19 is a valuable pick on draft night.

And Grundy is a valuable player.

Or are you saying GWS wouldn't do that deal?

If a team asks for a top 25 pick and we get pick 27 there’s no way in hell we should suddenly offer 19! 

Once they have Tom Mitchell lined up they’ll do the deal for 27

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
