BDA

Unfortunate name

Geelong is a well-run club (as much as I hate to admit it) It's not their fault that the Suns are a joke. Equalisation can't change that fact

Why didn't we get an A+. A flawless trade period imv. Grundy is an upgrade on LJ, in the short term at least and Hunter brings better disposal so addresses an obvious flaw. Pick 13 added and a suite of picks added next year to allow up to go big game hunting and hopefully add the KPF we badly need And Gold Coast should have got an F. A joke of a football club

The doggies situation is very interesting. Odd that so many players want out this trade period How close is Hunter to Naughton i wonder. Could we get in Naughtons ear and try to prise him away. Long long shot for sure but you never know. Worth a try I also like the Georgiades link. I'm a big fan. Great hands

I hope the Hawks crash and burn for an eternity

I've come around and will embrace Hunter wholeheartedly. As soon as a pic is taken with him in a Dees guernsey I'll update my avatar photo

In other words a salary dump

According to Tim lamb it came about because the Weid requested a trade and the club decided to grant his wish. Fair enough I reckon. The Weid deserved a fresh start. it’s just a low cost, like for like depth acquisition.

We have Grundy now. All good

Very good business overall Hopefully the bed wetters can calm down now

No mention in the media regarding us chasing a KPF. Strange

Need to treat the suns with respect. They have their moments. be professional and get the win first and foremost.

I have low expectations but you never know. Depth acquisition. Cost peanuts so no need for posters to get worked up best of luck Josh

This is exciting

I'll have to put aside my dislike for the bloke. Best way to get on my good side would be a duck to win a free kick, and slot the goal after the siren to win it the game for us in week 1. that'll do it

I wasn't going to pay too much attention to today but i'm genuinely intrigued now. There hasn't been a murmur in the press about us chasing a KPF so looking forward to see what unfolds

What about the WA players that don’t want to stay in the West? Homesickness doesn’t impact everyone and I’m sure there are players that want to broaden their horizons and see more of Australia. If I was a young draftee I wouldn’t want to stay in Melbourne (unless it was with the Dees). Swans would be my choice, away from the fishbowl to a good club and city. Lions would be next. Perth and Adelaide I’d rather avoid. Not sure how I’d feel if I landed at the Suns.

I really wanted the Weid to make it but not to be unfortunately. Keeping him in the ressies as ruck back-up when he has the opportunity for a fresh start is the wrong thing to do. Let him go. We can find a back-up ruck elsewhere

She's such a sweetheart. Pity she can't be part of it this year but what a player to get back for 2023

For some reason thinking of Gawn and Grundy reminded me of this deadly duo. Random I know

In: Grundy + 13 + Freo F1 + Freo F2 Out: Jackson + 27 +44 + 67 Time will tell ultimately but on balance i think we've done fine Just need to sort the back-up ruck spot and we're done

Fills an obvious need if the Weid departs. DL whipping boy!

It is possible to decide mid-season to leave but still perform as best you can until you leave. I think the injury he had was a much bigger factor in his average form than lack of commitment.

A lot of posturing goes on as part of trade negotiations. I'm surprised so many posters get sucked in by it. This deal will get done today for pick 27 and maybe some later pick swaps. Pies can take it or leave it. I'm sure they'll take it cos they have no choice

Next years problem
