I think they are on www.makeitupasyougo.com seriously ,start here: https://www.afl.com.au/news/525222/draft-explainer

So do I read this right: grundy was on a front loaded deal, meaning the ongoing rate is reduced from the big number bandied around? the filth will look to pay some of his salary he will take a pay cut to join us? sounds like we get a pretty good deal from all of this, depending on the pick traded.

All this talk of speed… I would prefer POWER. Being fast and strong enough over 10 m to break a line and be clear enough to deliver a high quality pass. Headless chook running looks good, but in a contested style happens once or twice a game.

It also means we have nothing extra to offer the Grundy deal. Here is 27, we have no other 2nd or third rounders. But happy to give you a fourth rounder! Deal done!

Not going anywhere. Heard it was a new vaccination hub and stumbled in there by accident. Assures goody he feels much bettet after a cheeky shot and is raring to go….

Seems to me freo are in a bind. What they ask for and get for their outgoings sets the tone for the Jacko deal. If they push for higher picks for the players leaving, then that has to set a value for what we ask of them. I would say to them get the other deals done first, then let’s chat.

First positions in bargaining are all about anchoring perceived value. Lets see what drops at the end. Freo are going to want LJ pretty badly (imagine if WC steal him away!). Think they will pony up. I think this will be a later deal as it hinges on so many other things. If Grundy is worth 25, what is this fella worth???

Did we get a pack of twisties with that third rounder? Sheesh. Farewell Hunty, hope you have a son called Mike who we can F/S in 18 years….

Looking at some of the offers, Jackson should reap some serious returns….

List has to be refreshed, players chase better opportunities. Thanks Toby. Lets not cry over spilt milk, it is Hunt and Bedford we are talking about here. Good luck to them both with their new opportunities. Next.

The FD will work out what Grundy is worth to us and go from there, I’d reckon. All the factors like cost, contract length, alternates, injuries etc would all be factored in. coll need hm gone more than we need him in. Coll need it done early in the trade period, which suggests ‘fair value’ may be easily paid by the filth. Can’t see us being bent over on this one.

Nah, just in general. They prey on the hopes of all teams supporters who didnt win the cup. This week is conjecture, no real news. I come on here (DL) to get my hopes built up and dashed - i reckon people on here can make the same ‘educated guesses’ as Trade radio muppets. When things warm up it may get better. Want something different to listen to? There must be some paint drying somewhere…

More fool you for listening…..

And 2022 they slid back in form, not stepped up to another level (Kozzie excluded, but without consistency). Top 6 played with niggles, bottom 6 dropped away. Need to see the list- or the players on that list - do much better next year.

If he didn’t think he was likely to be a bad boy again, why not sign as a show of good intent? I understand the fairness issue, but saying no to behave yourself is how this rejection could be perceived, rather than saying no to an unfair set of clauses.

And soon… next year are all the amazing talls….

Has his medical been sorted? Are we buying Fine Cotton or Phar Lap?

Toby has apparently been looking for more ‘opportunities’ and is considering a move, with the giants a likely target. Thoughts on his value to us/ at trade? Will Toby flourish somewhere else, or will he get more time in ground with us next year?

Before we get to ‘winning’ the post season, what are our needs? I’d say: a ruck forward (established + developing) - replace dog an X-factor midfielder = outside run and brilliant decision maker a lockdown small defender= replace hibbo an X factor small forward - pairing with Kozzie a capable swing man utility.- flexible player that can go forward and shift up the ground as needed Some may already be on the list, but these were our holes. What are your priorities?

New item in the demons shop Grundy Reg Grundies?

Game day. Last year i was confident but nervous. Stuck in lockdown and couldn’t go. this year its Geelong and Sydney. I dislike Geelong, but admire what they have done this year in taking the [censored] gameplan and improving it (we did nothing of the sort). I hope they lose. Both Sydney and Geelong get armchair rides from the AFL in different ways. We were not good enough this year, but until about 5:30, we are still reigning premiers. After that, I hope we win the off season… Swans by 11 points (“Luke {Parker}, you are my only hope”!)

Looks like a bag of dropped meat pies with those heads

New blood on every line Players injured must return through VFL Defence + contest + speed of ball= success.

Would suggest Melk and Hibbo deals are lower than before, bringing more cap space anyway. If hunt goes it will be as anFA not a trade deal, so we would get compo back (maybe 2nd round at best). Bowes then an option for us, taking 7 and his contract. Same logic applies to Grundy = what do they give us to take him off their books? Reckon they have a heap of pressure on their cap and 3 new contracts at least to include.

Imagine it comes out whilst Fagan is still coach of a team in contention? It almost had to wait until now, to provide a minimum of natural justice. He has stepped aside. on the behaviours involved, I would be horrified if it was us. At least we have a strong and positive indigenous leadership (M Whelan) and a history of recruiting and supporting indigenous players and programs. telling a young man his partner should have an abortion to focus on his footy is completely unacceptable. This was only about 10 years ago…. this will be career ‘pausing’ (nothing is career ending in the AFL, look at Hird, Carey etc…)
