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?

    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: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
