I believe the Grundy deal has been done. Pick 27 was given. I can't get access to Twitter, perhaps if someone can verify.

Since no ready made key forward is coming over, as yet, maybe the midfield will just need to learn how to kick the ball a bit better for next year.

Can’t believe how hard people are melting over the loss of Jacko and fringe players. 22/23 premiership players still on the list, and the players we lost are mostly in positions where we have heaps of depth or they just weren’t up to snuff.

Jacko hurts, but Grundy in is a tick given the scenario. Pick a development ruck to get loads of Casey time with a view to them replacing Max in 3 years. We are good at this shit, we have had high quality rucks for 30 years.

And then go for talent. Build for sustained success with young blokes threatening to take spots.

At the rate the trades are going through it’s going to be a very boring Foxtel event tomorrow night with not much pending.
 
Oh wow who would have guessed we got grundy for 27.
Still surprised Collingwood didn't just take 33, 43 and 53.

Geelong got Brisbane's pick 25 by trading 38, 48, 55, F2 and F4. Collingwood could have easily done that with what we gave up for 27 plus a couple of extra picks they had.

My theory is that they were always hedging they could get us to downgrade pick 13 and asked for a pick between 20-25 because they already asked around for those picks and knew it would cost a lot to get in that specific range.

Welcome to the club Brody Grundy who I think is a steal for pick 27 and a short term upgrade 2-3 years on Luke Jackson. We couldnt have the opportunity to move on any better than this.
 
Schache? Bruce? Hunter? Are we attempting to derail the Bulldogs VFL side next season? Going for back to back VFL flags! Well played Goody! Well played..

I will drive them round for you:

There you go!
 
wasn't keen on getting Grundy initially but for pick 27 it's good s**t.
Yeah feels like we won that trade, depending on how much salary the Pies are coughing up, but either way Grundy was a bloody good ruckman. Hoping he can get over his injury issues and give us some quality years ahead. Will be very interested in how we go about playing both he and Gawn though. I'm sure we all have our doubts, but if it comes off then Goody will look like a genius because he's been all in on him since word got out about Dogga. Good to see we stuck to our guns on the pick as well. Called Pies bluff there.
 
This thread sucks.

Yes losing depth sucks, but that's what happens when you spend 44 weeks in the top 4. Teams look at your 22-30 players and think "surely they can't be that bad, they're just being kept out by guns". Look how many of these guys Geelong and Hawthorn lost over the 2010s. Didn't see too many of them crying when Billie Smedts or Jed Anderson took contracts elsewhere. The challenge from here is to develop the 2018-21 draftees to replace them, and given our player development has been pretty outstanding since Roos joined I'd back us in to do that.

Would it have been nice to get a gun forward? Yes. I wish Gunston had come to us, but its pretty clear he left to link up with Fagan from his Hawks days. There are literally no other gun KPFs available. Dan McStay is the only other established KPF who left his club, and he kicked 5 less goals than the reviled BB this year from 3 more games. Yes, I know he pushes up the ground, but is that what we were looking for?

We clearly need a revised game style to counter good teams, a good draft hand to top up our depth and for some of our young high picks to push into the 22, but isn't that what every club needs if they're going to be successful? Stop with the ****ing pearl clutching and try and remember how good we have it at the moment.

Aren't you the same guy who melted hard when we lost to Brisbane?

Am I? I don't think so. I think it was Collingwood rd 21 that I really lost my shit.

Maybe it was me?

But being crushed when you go out in straight sets is totally the same thing as whingeing for months on end afterwards.

Look at this ****ing melt. Melting over my rant about melting.
 
Must be who Lamb has invested all his time into courting all year while other list managers have focussed on Jackson, Horne Francis, Taranto, Dunkley, Hopper, Bruhn, Gunston, Rioli, O’meara, Henry, Mitchell, Amon, Mcstay etc
Nice deflection there m8

Also honest questions, are ya still pissed about the Grundy trade? we didn't give them a First rounder like you were absolutely melting about
