Yeah okay, the point is whether it's Grundy or someone else there is no saving on salary cap.

we won't be paying a break-glass-in-case-of-emergency $650k a year for the next four seasons

there's salary cap savings to be made

Not much though.

IF it's not paid to Grundy the majority will be paid to his replacement so still the same costs

I doubt we are in the market for a 500k+ ruck,  back up rucks don't get much love, hence why they are the ones who move clubs a lot

Time will tell on that, I suppose we could get one in that is pretty well useless.

And they wont be on a 4 year deal, back up rucks get short deals which is why they move around.

if we get a ruck in it will be a cheap option but a solid ruck, they are never great around the ground but usually pretty competitive in the ruck contests.  They also have Verrall developing in the VFL.  The only reason they would spend money is if they don't think he will cut it.  From what i have seen from the 19 YO he looks pretty good in the early stages of his career.

Unless we go for a Chol type who is the Ruc/Fwd type, then you will have to spend a little bit.  Which i don't mind that option. But not his contract which would have to be around the $1mil mark over the next 2 years


Some talk in the WA press that Jack Darling might be a good trade for Melbourne since we are in the premiership window.  Good for another season mor two perhaps.

@Grand New Flag what happened with Georgiades, I thought we had him in the bag? 

We never had a conversation with Georgiades post his ACL.

I think we will be in the market for a good young prospect that in time could take Max's position. Forward craft would be a bonus.

So, as you say probably not going to be much change left out of the Grundy deal to move a player like this.

The only poster in this thread worth listening to 

I wonder where @Chook in Perth is these days. Always has good mail.

Shane Mcadam from the Crows will be a Dee in 2024, 3 year deal.

Conflicting news on this...is it Melbourne the city, or Melbourne the club?

Love it. Perfect fit for us I reckon. Thanks for the goss mate and since you're SA based, I'm gonna say you've nailed it haha. 🤞

Why "perfect fit"? Genuinely curious. We seem to have Spargo, Chin and Kozzi and be lacking talls more than smalls. But I think Im probably missing something.

Nick the Wizard Watson will be playing in the ruck next year....!

He’s small but also pretty good on a lead and can take a great mark so not exactly prototype small forward 

Crows website has him at 186cm, so same height as Melk, 2cm smaller than Fritsch

So he's probably the Melk replacement? 

McAdam is a gun. I'm stoked.

Edited by Binmans PA
Had no idea he's 28 already!

 

A small fwd is not really a need and not sure if he would even be best 22, but if he doesn’t cost much then can’t hurt

Reckon he has x factor and pace. We need more pressure for spots there.

We genuinely had no competition for Chandler for weeks when he was just nowhere near getting the job done. 

The game is going this way and I'd say he'd be on small dollar for more years (takes him to 31).

Seems like a classic MFC move. For needs and they've targeted their man and got him.

  • 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.

  • 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
