Grundy didn't work out for us primarily because Max couldn't play effectively as a forward as he hoped. I think the insinuation that Grundy wouldn't play for us in the finals is far fetched. The criticism that he began discussing his future with other teams at that time is misplaced. He only had a few weeks to make a major life move. There's no doubt in my mind that he could have played for us and sorted his future simultaneously. It happens in RL all the time. He didn't play for us in the finals because the FD didn't select him.

It could be that simple. We take O'Sullivan and Wilson. On the other hand we might really rate Duursma. 6 + 11 to North for 3. North give 2 + 11 to WC for 1. North get Reid and Sanders. WC get Curtin and one of those above at 11, or maybe Tholstrup, who seems to have tested well at the Combine.

$500k in salary cap for a Casey player?

Wait, what? Try to maintain a consistent strategy for at least half a day will ya!

Nice try but it's way short of Jimmy's dream. -

The 2023 Draft and Trade Targets Thread
old55 replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
You're suggesting we upgrade 5 AND get 2 more top 10 picks with 13, a F1st which should be in the teens, and a bunch of 2nd and 3rd rounders. It's just not feasible IMO. @Slartibartfast is entitled to an "how?" Give us a scenario ... -

Magic? -
Can't be a F2nd because the Dogs already traded their F1st to GC. They can trade their F4th due to revised AFL rules. I think it needs to be a pick this year. They're in a tight spot for picks to cover Croft and make trades. I wonder if they are trading anyone out?

Let's stick with GMT for major events like this. Less confusing.

I think Dan McKenzie OOC at St.Kilda can play. Has been injured for quite a while but if he passes a medical I'd be keen. -
Fascinated to see if Maynard tries to jump on Steven May at the first opportunity in next year's KB match like he did on Ed Langdon in last year's ...

I don't have confirmation on these, but I think I heard in association with the new CBA that: The extra Veterans list spot was not agreed Mid season Rookies can stay on the Rookie list for an extra year so it may not be compulsory to elevate Disco

2023 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
old55 replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
I think there was some discussion associated with the new CBA that mid season rookies could stay on the rookie list for an extra year, so you might be right about Disco's elevation able to be delayed. Reports from the BnF, BBB told posters that he's playing on. -
2023 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
old55 replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
At this stage I only see 3 primary list vacancies to take to the draft. Off (6): Harmes, Grundy, Hibberd, Melksham (re-rookied), Jordon, Dunstan On (3): D.Turner (elevated), McAdam, Fullarton One of those 3 will be Kynan Brown with a late pick, so we'll only be taking 2 live picks to the draft. We'll be trading up, trading out to 2024 or both. -
Gus would have finished a clear 3rd in the BnF too if the "accident" hadn't happened.
-
Thanks, what is his alignment, do you know? I think this is an important consideration.
-
If they encourage him to nominate they'll have to take him. Too much bad faith if they don't.
-
Is Jeff Gleeson aligned with Collingwood? Can you please provide a link?
-
You don't want McAdam, but you do want Mathieson. OK ....
-
Macrae from the bench, Fagan from the box ...
-
Future 4th would be preferred- then we can still trade our F1st.

I think you'll be disappointed if you're hoping for "battering ram".

Did you see him marche on Le Champs Elysees?
