Players traded against their will beginning? Put them at a club they don't like or that wont play them, sending club frees up salary for encouraging a trade (or just a better list situation) and the recieving club (probably a lower club not using up salary cap) gets draft pick rewards.View attachment 1512680View attachment 1512683
Gold Coast last year was at the centre of salary cap space being moved, with Darcy Macpherson and pick No.19 offered to North Melbourne to take his salary off the books at the Suns before Macpherson decided to stay at the Suns.
Didnt we try this with the saints re brad crouch where it was suggested the crows take a salary dump player or 2 to get a better offer for crouch and the AFL pooha'd it..iirc?Players traded against their will beginning?

Brad, but yes. The issue was around the compo pickDidnt we try this with the saints re matt crouch where it was suggested the crows take a sslary dump player or 2 to get a better offer for crouch and the AFL pooha'd it..iirc?
Edit. When is dsnihers huge short term contract thst got the bombers band 1 up..i am hoping it didn't get renegotiated quietly back to a longer term at a lower amount per year that would be a straight up rort of the system to get a better compo pick

If that's the case Grundy won't be going anywhere. Still can't see what Melbourne is thinking when it comes to trading in Grundy.From what I was told today, Pies want a 1st and 2nd rounder for Grundy still. They ain't giving him away, no matter what the salary situation is.
I hope no one takes him.If that's the case Grundy won't be going anywhere. Still can't see what Melbourne is thinking when it comes to trading in Grundy.
It did, this year, against the "rule" they invented when Buddy went to Sydney which was "if the player is a RFA, you can't change anything in the contract, it is locked in stone" So Buddy's $ per season were locked in for every year of the 9 year contract causing the Swans some grief that they couldn't move $ around to different years.Didnt we try this with the saints re brad crouch where it was suggested the crows take a salary dump player or 2 to get a better offer for crouch and the AFL pooha'd it..iirc?

Wonder what that would mean for McStay & Hill...I hope no one takes him.
Let Collingwood suck it up
As a quick response to the above ...
Look, I am not arguing that he was a well spent pick when drafted ... I am saying he has some upside - could become an AFL level player - and I would not throw him out with the bathwater.
- I think Ned has upside, that is what I said ... I still believe that. He is like Sholl in that way - not well-rounded, but has potential in certain attributes that count. Will he step up? I dunno, just think he has improvement in him that the others I mentioned do not.
- I'm not weighing in his first rounder at all. I think he deserves a spot on our list, maybe that sits outside of the best 22 next year ... maybe he sits just inside that.
- I would not play him as a permanent small forward, no. He needs to be a small utility player that can switch into the middle, on the wing and some time up forward,
- I believe other clubs would want him, but trade value is not a good guide to worth. Ben Brown? Peter Wright? Nakia Cockatoo?
No - frampton, crouch and ROB for grundyLet's trade Collingwood Frampton, Crouch and Keays for Grundy
If only!!!
Guess with losing Jackson and Gawn turning 31 soon the Demons might be a bit worried about taking a step back. Think the plan is for Gawn to be a more permanent forward and let Grundy carry the majority of the ruck duties.If that's the case Grundy won't be going anywhere. Still can't see what Melbourne is thinking when it comes to trading in Grundy.
What's the point of him saying anything?What is his upside? You haven't specified it at all, just that apparently he has it.
Why do you assume they would have cap or points issues?Given Brisbane are going to need a lot of draft capital - picks and points, to bring in everything, not to mention a very tough salary cap situation, could we possibly make a late steal attempt?
I'd be interested in:
Bailey
K Coleman
Berry
Raynor
Berry
Robertson
Throw enough money and a pick or two and you might be able to shake one free.
Gardiner is leaving too?Why do you assume they would have cap or points issues?
They'll get second round compos for McStay and Gardiner, and will trade two firsts for Dunkley and a 2nd. That should give them enough points for this year.
That's the talk, yeah.Gardiner is leaving too?
Why would they get rid of a gun to get another one in?Given Brisbane are going to need a lot of draft capital - picks and points, to bring in everything, not to mention a very tough salary cap situation, could we possibly make a late steal attempt?

But has there been any talk of him wanting to move?That's the talk, yeah.
He's a free agent who hasn't signed an extension.
Some clubs rumoured but nothing major.But has there been any talk of him wanting to move?
Is there any reason your psychological makeup feels the need to get so personal with certain other posters. It’s genuinely not healthy.And you’d say each one was the right decision if that’s what the club did ……..

try playing the ball, not the man.
Yep, Pies are already committed to bringing in players using the money they are saving by pushing Grundy out the door.Wonder what that would mean for McStay & Hill...
