I wouldn't do it myself but is there anyone here who wants Grundy? Could be available for 700k and probably not much in terms of picks. Probably the most like for like Jackson player in the comp. Depends if we wanna go all in on now

Honestly I considered this, problem is he has no forward ability so Gawn would spend more time there than him.

I do it but only if Collingwood would be paying a good chunk of his salary.

Would do it as long as we weren't paying his full contract

Can we re-negotiate the contract length or would we be taking on his current deal (to 2027) with Collingwood paying x amount of his salary? Even if they're willing to pay a decent chunk of his salary I don't think it would be wise to sign him on a 5 year deal, given the amount of players on long term deals already.
I have never really seen him spend significant time forward so unsure how he would work with Gawn.

Its not like Jackson is any great forward so I dont see how that would be a deal breaker.
Grundy wouldnt be my first option, would much prefer a KPF, but if it was between Grundy and Lobb ill take Grundy.

We can try re negotiate but he'd need to accept. Most likely we'd take the 5 years at 6-700k

Fair point. Just seems unnecesarry to me to have two 29+ year old ruckmen on long term, big money deals if neither can contribute much outside of the ruck. Would rather us use the money to up our offer to Gus (or something like that).
Would also much prefer a KPF like you said, though from what I gather it's likely to be fairly slim pickings available.

I completely get what youre saying. That's why I wouldnt want to be paying him on his current contract, would prefer to rotate Grundy on and off the pine.
But...
Grundy one of the better tap ruckman in the game statistically from what I recall, might be nice to have him just to teach Max how to use his hitouts to our advantage.
I think it’d be smart business by a club to get Grundy on the cheap if the Pies are offering him around and paying a bit of his salary.
Don’t reckon it should be us though. I can’t see how he and Gawn co-exist on the field and if we had a bunch of cash to spare it Jackson goes, I’d rather go for a gun mid or KPF.

Am I a prick for being dirty on Gus if he leaves? If Jackson leaves he was clearly always going to, but Gus was nursed through concussion issues then given a very generous contract in 2018 after one good season. He proceeded to do nothing in 2019/2020, had a good 2021 and is having a great 2022. Now if he leaves it’ll be purely due to money imo.

Yes youre a prick. He was a Grand Final hero. Played ****ing epic footy this year and deserves a shitload.
Like I said a few pages back, we should trade Salem and keep Brayshaw if it comes down to money.

Has Gus actually been linked that strongly to anyone? I know Geelong are keen on him but it doesn't seem to be nearly the level that Jacko to Freo has been.

Yeah, any players from our 2021 squad can do whatever they want as far as I'm concerned.
They've given us plenty - not that they owed anything in the first place.

If Jackson leaves (which I think he will) i’d love Amarty or McLean from the swans
I’d trade salem if it meant we kept gus also.
Thoughts on Ratugolea? I don’t know his contract status nor if he is injured or he can’t get a go atm in this Geelong team

I don't think Ratugolea is a very good player nor will be the answer to our issues but if we can't get anybody better you can do a lot worse.
Would love Amartey though big time, McLean a bit too ruck imo considering if Jackson goes it is 90+% chance we will get Lloyd Meek in return

I do think if Amarty isn’t available at all and McLean is and was keen on making the switch then you’d definitely go for it. 23 years old and max getting older we do need a ruckman ready to go sooner or later. They have hickey naismith and Sinclair who don’t have long left and landhams who will be their number 1 ruck.
I can see hickey staying for a couple more years and the other two maybe retiring. So nows a good chance with McLean

yeah just be wary of Meek coming which i think is going to happen. Meek is a pure tap ruck, he will be a pretty good one but we should try to draft another ruck, can't have 3 of them playing lol
