indirectly you do though. Because people are saying 'pies are paying 300k so we're only playing 700k'. That's suggesting (and assuming) that he's playing a full 5 years. All I'm pointing out is that we're actually paying 1.1m if he plays to an already respectable 32 years of age.Maybe, but we wouldn't all state it as fact repeatedly that he's only got 3 years left.

Old mate didnt know rule 1 of lurking the Melbourne board - "Assume everything is a pisstake (unless its Danster)"

Been a while since the board had a genuine running joke like the he's 23, or Will Minson level. Cheers for that Grimey Boy
Look at this home, how can youuuu afford this without being an ITK

I thought danster168 was our new running joke?
They won’t have the cap space - so agree from their point of view Grundy is ideal but if we are coughing up 300k then I don’t see the benefit.
I know last year we were after Harmes - so perhaps he could be the player along with a first rounder?
Treloar was basically a future second rounder in the end. Dependent on how much salary we take on, it wouldn't be much more than that. Maybe a future first with a later pick coming back our way.Clearly some people don’t understand you don’t get good compensation for salary dumps.

I don't know the category but he fits into the sugar Healey, Dr Who league of blokes who became a parody of themselfI thought danster168 was our new running joke?
Like people here thinking we'll rob Norf and get a third for Tomo, absolutely dreaming. More likely a late pick swap (which we lose out on), Tomo and our 4th for Norf's 5th and we pay half his salary or something like that.
The goal of a Tomo trade is to get salary off our books so we can bring others in, not pissing about worrying about playing hardball over shitty compensation. If you do that you likely turn clubs off completely and they walk away from discussions
Is Hunt likely to sign on again or will he test the market?
I think Gawn and Grundy can work, however there’s also a very real possibility it doesn’t work given neither are great forward.
If that does eventuate, all of a sudden we are stuck for the next 5 years with this combo and not much flexibility to fix it.
In a few years time, we will be playing 2 slow 33-34 year old banged up ruckmen, taking up a spot that could potentially be given to a younger ruckman, which may hurt future development.
I understand we are in win-now mode, and if Grundys remaining contract was only 2 or 3 years, I’d be all for it. Just not sure the reward outweighs the risk in this case.

I'm not really sure if I see the point neither a forward or a goal kicking mid will make any impact in the coming years. May as well just get Grundy because we are in the window now.I'm happy enough for us to get Grundy but the reality of the player market is that Jackson, who is on the up, is worth more than Grundy who Collingwood want to move on for salary reasons.
I'd be disappointed if the top pick we get for Jackson is used to bring in Grundy. I want to see us in the first round taking either a tall forward or goalkicking mid.
Like JVR or Laurie? Because the picks we get aren't at all likely get someone better.I'm happy enough for us to get Grundy but the reality of the player market is that Jackson, who is on the up, is worth more than Grundy who Collingwood want to move on for salary reasons.
