The way AFL are handing out compensation picks, we should put our hand over for consecutive finals straight set exits, end of round 1 compo?

Do you ever think we’ll see a draft that isn’t compromised again?

    Agree. It’s just a bluff. Grundy will get to Sydney. It’s just at what number and how much of his contract is paid by Pies, Dees and Swans. AFL Sudoku at work.  
    Grundys recruitment and departure after one year will be remembered as one of the biggest “head scratcher” trade deals done by the Dees. 

    The Dees will pay nothing of Grundy's salary going forward....thats all down to Collingwood and his new club.

    MFC just playing for a better pick.thsn Sydney's opening gambit... that part is just part of the trade week game.

    Will be some time coming. Unless the contracts get renegotiated, could be a veeeery long time. As it stands, the current contract is so heavily lopsided in AFLs favour, it’ll tank the Tassie economy.

    If we can’t get Sydney to oay a decent pick AND $650k - we may end up paying something of his salary

    $650 for Grundy is a steal.  We won't be paying any.

    We just got Harmes' 500k off the books so don't need to pay $$

    With the Petty news floated recently this might have some merrit. I don't think that deal cuts it by any means but interesting times ahead.

    Not sold on Fogarty, but i trust our FD know what they're doing.

    I know he can kick, but isn't he just another Fritsch? Aren't we lacking a bonadife tall?

    Doesn't fill a need is what i mean.

    I’m fairly certain Fogarty is bigger than Fritsch and a much more aggressive player.  Fogarty and JVR would hurt some defenders with the way they attack the ball.

    People think Fritsch is lazy in terms of def and chasing.  Add Fog as well 😳

    I'd take Fogarty, no question. improves our set shot kicking straight away, Why do the Crows want to move him on?

    This Petty talk is making me a little nervous.  Hope its all just SA media talk.

    The competition is full of meatheads - it’s almost a prerequisite

    Almost every club has had financial assistance. Ours was far less than some. 

    North don’t need 3 x first round picks for financial survival. They don’t need them to sell memberships. That’s what picks 2 and 3 as well as Larkey, Sheezel and Wardlaw will do.

    There’s no need for them. The only reason they’re getting them is because Clarko had a meltdown. 

    I can imagine Gil having a meltdown and kowtowing over this.

    Clarko may have had some issues but i think he played the AFL beautifully as well.

    Inquiry dropped! 👍🏻💪🏼

    Sydney offered pick 46 for Grundy, I assume the Dees got up and walked out of the room laughing.

    Was this Dodoro pulling a prank? 
    A laughable offer.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
