And Grundy is a valuable player.

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

I think GWS want to keep that pick. If they split the draft over 2 nights the bidding for 19 can become a frenzy if players "slide". It's worth a lot more than 20.

    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

    I hope we get it done for 27, but personally I think it's going to take a little more than that. We wait and see I guess.

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

    And take it.

    Like a band aid, it will all be over soon.

    27 and we throw in 52 and they get Frampton and deal done.

    Weren't you in disbelief about supporters thinking a second-rounder is what the trade should be?

    Yes. My opinion was somewhere around pick 15-20 would be the price. Hence why I'd love it if we ended up getting him for 27.

    I'd be so stoked if it is only 27. So much that I'll get a guernsey with 27 - Grundy like that moron in Perth with the 6 - Jackson.

    Well you're about to look silllllly.

    First rounder was never going to happen.

    It made no sense.

    Pick 21 which some were saying we might get from GWS in return for Bedford and pick 27 is going to the Lions.

    So unless we use part of the Jackson trade... 27 is all there is

    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. 

    Definitely. Treloar was back ended. The Grundy contract means Collingwood get rear ended🤣

    No it won't. There will be yearly surgery for the next 5 years to the tune of 1.5 mil. :blink:

    Also says that his salary decreases over the last 2 years of the deal, I wonder if we're getting him to average it out a bit and it'll end up being around $600k per year (after the Pies chip in $300k). That'll be a huge get for us, I think he jumps into our top 10 players and will allow Max to play for another year or 2. A pick in the 20s would be justified here.

    It's pretty decent of us to give him a Premiership along the way in his sunset years of footy, don't you think? That offering must mean more to a committed footballer than mere salary alone; anyway, he's made his money, he is not an [censored] and we must presume (although it's none of our business) that he has invested wisely whilst milking the Colliwobbling Filth all these years.

    Reading this thread whilst my young kids play in the background.

    I just heard one say "I'll trade you $1 for $8" to which the other agreed! 

    Simple.

    Pick 27 for Grundy - get it done Dees.

    Was in their leadership group in 2020 and 2021. They cut back the number in 2022.

    New coach that doesn't rate him, and took them from a bottom 4 to a top 4 team. McRae knows what he's doing.

    Weird that Sidebottom was cut out as well yet finished top 5 in the BnF then...

    Even weirder that it's done by vote, not decided by the coach.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
