Why the heck are the Suns giving away pick 7! You don't see the Pies giving us their first pick along with Grundy Madness!

my advice is to decide if they think Grundy was that good, sign him up, pay the money and see out the contract. If not, trade him. don't panic and sign him up on a 7mill deal and then decide he is not that good 2 years later. The Pies seem to think the number of years on a contract don't matter once the player stays for the next 1-2 years. and then they throw them under the bus 1/4 way through

4th choice is manage your list well. If you see him as someone to build your team around for 7 years, lock him in early at a reasonable salary - see MFC approach. If you don’t value him that highly, trade him early and get good comp. They waited and then panicked Why do you think Trac or Clarry will go bad? Can’t see it happening. We are giving long term deals to gun players that we want to keep forever. Not trade when we screw up the cap

On the positive side - if we go 10-0 while not playing great we have a heap of upside

Well played Pies. Appease your fans by releasing this. 27 or GAGF

I hear the Saints saw Zaine Cordy's performance at mad monday and immediately called his manager - We need this guy! Great culture fit for them

Clear to see how much Pies fans value Grundy from the comments on social media. So good to be screwing them over what were they thinking giving him a $7m deal!? hilarious

Hibberd certainly deserves it. Great experience down back and can lock down a fwd really well. Melksham is tough. Such a tease. That game against the blues and then some average game. I’d personally let him go. Just doesn’t have the consistency

Can someone direct me to the laughing at Essendon page??

Who gives a rats about points. You do the deals to get the players and picks you want. 27 gets us the second best ruck in the game. Fantastic deal coupled with the Pies paying some wages and him taking a pay cut

lol Logue on 800K. worth about half that. I guess North have to pay someone to get to 90% cap

can't see the eagles getting out of the bottom 6. Lose Kennedy and Rioli etc. So F1 would be great

I'm sure if Harmes chose to leave to get the most of himself and play midfield, his teammates would support him and it wouldn't damage our culture. We are clearly not pushing him out based on what Lamb said

So this sounds like a done deal. which you would think means the draft pick has been agreed upon. what could the deal be? we only have 32 which wouldn't be enough. maybe Future 2nd rounder plus 32? F2 would be around 34 i guess F2 and 32 with a Pies pick coming back our way?

Hasn’t finished in the top 10 in the BnF in the past 3 years.

Pick 13 and around 14 is not enough. GAGF Freo

If Harmes played 22 games as an accountable mid it would mean we rate him as such. But we don’t. 4 years later he has been dropped several times. Since 2018 he hasn’t put a consistent season together keep digging mate

Harmes and Hunt are as good as Angus? Lol call me when either comes third in the Brownlow

Is this sarcasm? Getting rid of average players and keeping quality players. Good strategy no?

I’m hearing Dodoro is happy to let pick 60 go to us if we add a second round pick

Everyone wants to bring in a gun through trade but not happy to lose a top 25 player.

I don’t mind this. If we want picks and capital for a trade we need to give up good players but not core first 18 guys. Harmes is great and it might be a win win as he could be a regular midfielder at another club would want something decent in return

How many years did he get? How we know the comp but not the contract?

Agree they are not comparable but not in the way you mean 6"2' proven gun mid, BnF winner, 15 votes in the Brownlow last year. Future leader, can go fwd and kick goals. LJ's worth is largely on what he might become due to his physical attributes (and playing some great games for us)

Oh right, I didn’t realise. I watched him play once and he was marking everything but ended up with 5 behinds or something similar. Knows how to find the ball for sure
