    Interesting trade, we must be getting a fair hall for Jackson and Bedford.

    So our picks for now are 27 & 51?

    I’m on the record as predicting the Gawn/Grundy combo won’t work (mainly because of Max being an ineffective forward), but if we can get Grundy for 600k and essentially pick 27 then I’m willing to take the risk. That’s a bargain. 
     

    Also remember that pick 27 will blow out to about 32 once all the academy, next Gen and FS get bids.

    Grundy for pick 27 would be a steal.

    Much better then the original discussion of having to give up a 1st rounder which I was highly against. 

    Wonder if we'll package up a future 2nd also?

    Sounds like we want the Grundy trade done before the LJ one, so we can't be hassled over the LJ picks.

    If we give 27 for Grundy, does that mean we are currently without a pick?

    Great strategy if that's the case.

    That is a lop sided trade.  We give up picks worth about 1,200 points for one worth about 700 points.

    I would have thought whoever is getting pick 27 would do better with the picks we swaped

    Odd.

    You need to give clubs some incentive to downgrade their pick, you can never 'win' these pointswise

    Almost like the points system is junk. 
     

    53 - 0 points in this draft

    43 - the minimum steak knife to get 33 to 27

    Yep, 703 points vs 1174.

    I’m pretty sure the original pick swap which got us Kosi Pickett was a clear loss on points value. That’s why you ignore them.

    I reckon it's too early to say. Let's see what happens with that pick.

    Not necessarily.  With 3 F/S and 1 Academy player in the top 20 a lot of mid range bids will be chewed up by matching bids. 

    So a pick in the low 50's will come in to something in the low 40's.

    Not to be sneezed at.

    I was comparing on a straight points basis of the swap.

    I'm sure the club has a plan for #27 but I'm surprised to give away such a big premium in a pick swap.

    Pick 27 and a future 3rd (which would be say pick 50) = Pick 19 points wise.

    Reckon that's a fair deal for Grundy. Fingers crossed.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
