Farewell Brodie Grundy


Ouch!

Recommended Posts

We could do 13 + 27 for 16 + 41 + Grundy. If the draft is even after the first few we could still get our player at 16, and 41 will come right in after Brisbane's F/Ss and we don't have a 2nd pick until 54.

Dees should trade out picks 13, 27 and F2 to Cats in return for their 7 and 25.  Dees trade 25 to Filth for Grundy. Cats trade 13 to Filth for Henry.
 
Dees free up $1m in salary cap by trading out Weids, Hunt, Bedford etc (Jackos exit covers Grundy). Dees target Whitfield (or Georgiades) by trading out our future first round pick plus what we get for Weids.
 
Dees bring in Grundy and Whitfield (or Georgiades) and go to draft with pick 7.

I like it, Rooter. If Geelong rate Henry at pick 13, which given he was a pick 17 and has shown some handy glimpses at the top level could be a fair trade. I'd want Georgiades ahead of Whitfield though.

It's a good idea but I just don't think Collingwood deserve pick 13.

Or does it mean that with a lamb roast the preference is for mint sauce? 😉

Yes, a food reference only...last year's theme was biscuits want it?

The hold up on this is ridiculous. You telling me that if we had 25 it would be done, but we have 27 so its not getting done? 

Just give them Pick 27 and another pick later.. what sit matter.. we are taking 2 picks maybe 3 to the draft.

If no deal is done today then we won't know whether the deal has gone through until the primetime trade week variety hour.

 

This is stupid. Talk about milking it for all it's worth. Media discussion has been all day every day for weeks at this point. It's got more coverage than a [censored] war impacting the entire globe. It's shameful.

All part of the brilliance of the AFL in having hundreds of thousands of people hitting F5 every 2 minutes to find out what is going on.

The part that amazes me is that it is Collingwood who has been trying to get  the bun out for 6 months. It wasn't us trying  to seduce him away from the pies. They want  him out. Take it or leave it pies.

Don't tell me we're gonna roll over to this mob for pick 13 and whatever for a questionablly fit/capable lumbering ruckman??

If so SG & the FD have seriously lost the plot.

Once again it is all about the media. We sold our soul to the devil years ago. If possible it will only get worse.

That would be extremely disappointing. Hold firm guys!

Not sure the cats would go fr that. OUT 7 , 25 IN 13, 27 and 35 ish. 

If you look at it the value of each pick using the points system, the cats end up being slightly ahead with this trade.  Ultimately it will depend on how much the Cats want Henry to fill the void when Tomahawk retires.

I don't recall selling my soul old dee.  More like my having had it extracted by Voldemort.

Cats aren't going to move 6 spots backwards out of the top 10 for a F2 (Pick 30ish). We moved from 33 to 27 for around the same value.

At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
