A little bit pissed at his manager. Sure he is trying to get the best for his client but he is being a real C U Next Tuesday about it.
He does not need to be out of contract, and may be better if he is not.
Pick 8 looks good, but Mundy is a certainty in terms of what a club will get. Give me more!!!

I reckon its about 90% certain hes going to stay
Everyone who leaves always do so very soon after the season ends. If he was going to GC he woulda said so by now. All the GC mercenaries announced very soon after their season ended.
IF he hasnt signed with GC then u would think that freo holds all the chips. With tarrant, des, haselby money being available. I dont think anyone can offer significantly more money than us. Also in his next contract he'd almost qualify for vet status. AFter a breakout season who would want to change clubs, especially if u have the most dominant ruckman stuffing the ball down your throat.
Mundy seems like a decent guy. If he was gonna leave he'd give freo the longest timeframe possible to try and nut out a deal.

Clubs very rarely offer contracted players for trade though unless they are out of form or have off field issues.
I'm sure Brisbane regret shopping Rischettelli around last year.
Good point.
Don't know if he's a good guy or not but dragging contract negotiations out until days before trade week every 2 years makes you look like a bit of a merchant banker.

Or maybe it is his manager that is dragging out the negotiations each time.
Does free agency come in next season?
Trading contracted players is pretty common in most sports with FA. It's the best way to ensure the club gets compensated.
I agree with this. Myer and Houli would be a good deal.
Good luck with that. More likely pick 8 OR Myers and Houli.

Surely managers work to instructions though?
"Dave it's youir manager, Freo's offered $600,000pa but I reckon if we wait a month we might get another $50K."
Mundy - Good idea, lets wait.
Good question, I'm not sure but I don't think so.
AFL's in a unique position compared to American sports though because there's no real "go home" factor there where as 80% of AFL players are drafted from 3 cities so each year there are players looking to move home. LeBron's an Ohio boy who just chased a big money offer to move away from Ohio. Free agency will probably affect the 10 Victorian clubs a lot more than the WA and SA teams because Frank from Fitzroy will play for whichever Melbourne based club that offers the most $$$.
Clubs will have to be careful too because the culture is different. Alistair Clarkson took a potshot at essendon last year for trading premiership players almost a decade ago. It's very hard to play the loyalty card with Matthew Pavlich while you're trading his contracted mates away each year.

Carton owing...........actually if Mundy leaves we wont need it....
Good luck with that. More likely pick 8 OR Myers and Houli.
I think IbbosBFF meant 8 + either of Houli or Myers, not both...
I would be uneasy with accepting just 8. I would hope we can do better than that. Get in the ear of Ryder or Gumby, then take it from there.
Maybe pull in a favour from a journo somewhere and have them to suggest Paddy's a little homesick... You know, the same sort of BS rumour we get with Pav all the time...
I do.
Pick 8 + Houli
Pick 8 + Myers
Myers + Houli
All fine by me, the club does keep saying they want a player to work with in return at this point so........
The club indicated they would prefer a player for Tarrant, not Mundy.

Myers has been underwhelming but clubs very rarely cut their losses on top ten picks after 3 years. Ryan Murphy's had 7 seasons and was pick 12.
He's not worth it but Essendon would expect a top 20 pick for Myers so in their view 8 + 20 will be over the odds for Mundy.
I'd rather have pick 8 in a straight swap than Myers + Houli. If Mundy departs and we get a quality tall at 8, a mid at 20 and a running player that can play stints onball for Taz I'll be happy.

If Mundy goes, if we get any of those packages we'd have to be happy.
