It's crazy we gifted both Grundy and Jordon to a premiership contender. Not very strategic.

Strategy had nothing to do with it. Sydney finished eighth last season. How could anyone have known they’d be a premiership contender?

Hashtag hindsight etc. 

Come on Sydney hold on

I've been waiting 100 years for Geelong to be bad again. They are just like:

- The [censored] that won't flush

- A cockroach 

- A thorn in the side

- Anything else that has been posted here a million times.

… a disposable nappy. Those things take hundreds of years to break down.

neither were best 22

okay buddy

Carlton v Essendon is  impossible re. a good result.

Either side winning is enough to make you vomit even a draw gets each team 2 points which is just as bad.

I'm surprised the fox footy team are actually there.

Both were best 22, don’t be ridiculous 

mr sub Jordon? played plenty of games but was around player 22-25 in the squad

Grundy clearly not best 22. was available during finals didn’t get picked for the last couple of months

whos being ridiculous?

They both wanted to go, one as an unrestricted free agent.

Few other options from the club I would have thought.

Don't get in the way of every thread been overtaken by MFCSS. 🙂

If only we had Grundy i'm sure all our problems would be solved.

It was just madness. I will never understand it, we had some bargaining power, particularly with Gus involved….

The real story will come out one day…

Like when the Pies gave him to us for virtually nothing? it’s cap space and having no negotiation power for a player playing at Casey

Pies got bugger all for Treloar too

both with 5 years left on their contracts.

madness indeed

Nah I want essendon to lose. They have west coast next week. Any losses they have is good and I don't want them going further ahead on the ladder

it’s hilarious isn’t it? people just don’t get footy. Grundy would still be playing at Casey this year if he was with us

he missed a snap from 5m out today unchallenged. he is not a forward at all

Geelong have lost after being 40 odd points ahead.

Small joys in these dark days

Nice goal Errol 

Cats have lost 5 of the last 6 since we broke them

good times!

Do you think Scott will give Guilden a vote this week. Cameron getting the 5 is set on stone but….

We needed to get off the hook and we did so, I don't see why we would have had much if any leverage. 

Ugh.

At least the cats lost

I don't want the Cats to win, given it's our best chance at making top 4 for them to lose, however this shows me how ridiculous the AFL fixturing is. Swans have had two byes already and the Cats haven't had any. The Swans look so fresh and the Cats are cooked and just hanging in there.

The AFL are a joke the way they run the fixture.

The AFL put the fix into fixture.

If Grundy had played against Carlton in the semi last year we would have won that game. And we would have gone on to win the flag. We all know this.

Wow I've triggered a lot of people here with my Grundy and Jordon talk.

Anyway, here's to Billings and Fullarton!

I think if Gus had retired straight away we would’ve offered Jordon more money, so that was unlucky.

the grundy one was the right move as it gave us more cap once we realised it didn’t work. Doesn’t help this year but will help over the next 5
