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

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,139]

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

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

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. 

[layzie 28,702]

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

I can guarantee when he signs, the headline in the Herald Sun will be " GrunDEE"

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).

Graham Wright said today the deal with MFC Was a fair way down the track

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

I assume not Grundy.

Otherwise why would we be trading for him?

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.
