Trade Rumours 2023

[BrisbaneDemon 1,494]

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?

Yeah you’re right, I completely forgot about the Tassie team….

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 $$

It’s 2 days into the trade period, take a chill pill.  It doesn’t start to heat up until the last few days 

Love the reaction …. Let’s c what happens 

[Demon Forever 219]

Without mentioning sources etc, I have been told Shane McAdam and Fogarty has been suggested by the dees for a round 1 selection. No me tion of what pick was to be utilised or multiples

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 😳

[BDA 20,054]

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

[Demon Forever 219]

Wasn't told but I assume they are after a player of ours

[Travy14 1,505]

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

He’s a 194cm, 100kg meathead. 

So no, not a Fritsch type

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! 👍🏻💪🏼

They both have exceptional amounts of hair but

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.
