There is so much commentary and discussion on "how will gawn and Grundy work" pretty easy from my perspective. Watch our games from 2021/22. Grundy replaces Jackson pretty easy concept

Collingwood pr got this out there. It would be true we are paying more than 50% but his wage that we are paying in real terms would be well unders for his calibre of player is getting paid in the league

Who cares, it'll be more than the pie's would like to become public knowledge

Can't think of a better ruck duo in the history of the game on paper

Sounds like It's a net zero. Casey will soon find out. He did have a few good games back but given Bulldogs lack in that area not sure he could slot in to free up Petty to go forward? Beverage seems to have his favorites so could be he was more deserving of a have than others. I'm not against it particularly if it costs us same or less than we get for Weideman

Feel the same. Surely there should be a rule against players meeting clubs in season and still in contract. I though there already was?

The quote from David walls the Freo list manager would indicate otherwise."Luke has been our number one priority all year and obviously throughout the trade period," "He's got so much versatility and so much scope to improve as a player. We’re really only scratching the surface with what he can do. "He's only just turned 21, when you look at what he’s doing with his relative age rating for a player in his position, he's off the charts. "In his draft year, we had him rated at number one in the draft."

Being out of contract also limits what you can get. I wonder if we could have been a bit more clever and have had an agreement with Jackson when he was yet to make a decision and sign him up to two with a guarantee to trade him if that's what he decided (which he did). It would have given us some more leverage. I think this could have been one instance given the circumstances where it could have worked??

I'll wait to see what it turns into before slashings my wrists.

Can't recall a player whose played good footy for their fourth club. I'm sure they're is one????

He's this guy

If Rankine fetch a pick 5 than surely Luke is worth two top ten picks wether this year or next

His mate Heffernan says hi

Long from St Kilda got them pick 32 if we get Grundy for 27 on that scale it would be the biggest steal in memory

If prefer not to lose him. He is versatile. I'd like to see him in the ANB role. Tank might need a bit of work but he is better in the air and better much at goal.

If we can turn Hunt and Bedford into Grundy I'll be stoked

Funny they won't give up pick two. But if he was in the national draft he would surely go 2 or 3 after Ashcroft

He was bad, always seemed to go for nice lightly built skillful players who didn't have any competitive edge about them

I don't think we used Hunt correctly in the past couple years. He was made to play more lockdown and we rarely saw him get to use his place in an attacking way.

I thought Langdon was pretty average after the first 8-9 games. If be surprised if he is top 5

Surely you jest. Gunston has had a great career. Love fritta but I'd have them at least on par

Wouldn't be against it. Improvement on the Jordan / Spargo combo. Still wonder why we never put Brayshaw back to his premiership winning position at some stage during the year

I'm sure the post where he thanks supporters, the club for drafting him, developing him and giving him the chance to play in a premiership will come at some stage

Can't get through the paywall, but the headline sure looks familiar. We get it every year and trade period always disappoints

As far as wingers go that wouldn't break the bank. I like Lachie Sholl from the crows. Quick, skillful and a massive tank. He is a bit light but we have enough brutes . Melbourne boy who found himself in the twos towards the end of the year.
