I'm still keen for Chris Dawes and David Rodan to transform our forward line

Yeah, just as long as we don't give up any top20 picks for either of them.

 

[SugarHealey]

Would we get compo if JJ left?

Presume end of second round at best, but a few extra points we could throw to GC for their pick?

I have a instinct, that its too early to let JJordan walk. We might regret it.

 

[SugarHealey]

Grundy to Sydney for pick 31 and them paying $500k of his $650k sounds about where it’s going to land on.

Nah. They take over his complete contract from us or No-Deal...



Or they can pay higher in pick order number.!

It's time we bargained hard.

 

[SugarHealey]

Thought he showed a bit of promise. Surprised Laurie got a gig over him this week.

Why Woey is the longer term player.

Laurie is possibly being looked at re his contract situation.

Pick 31? For an AA ruck who's only 29?

 

[pjfairbairn]

It used to be a rule that you used your real name on here but only one person was kind enough to follow that one

Guilty.

Pick 31? For an AA ruck who's only 29?

Yeah seems overs. Maybe pick 35 K’s more like it.

We gave Collingwood pick 27 for him 12 months ago. Pick 31 now would be doing well given the poor season he’s had.

His last AA guernsey was five years ago.

There’s about as much chance of that happening as Andrew O’Keefe rehabilitating his TV career.

Who cares what Collingwood got for him? That's not our problem.

Unlike Collingwood, we don't want to let Grundy go. If another club wants him, they'll need to pony up.

We’re not going to pay a bloke $650k to ruck for Casey in 2024.

A deal will be struck. One that suits both parties. It’s called doing business.

isn't good hes become a very reasonable poster. Find myself agreeing with a lot of what he says. Keep up the good work sir.

Of course we want to let him go he's not even in the bloody team

Imagine going nuffy on a bloke who's played 15 games for the club

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

People get way too concerned with needing to win every trade, its not possible, so long as you win or break even on the bigger ones and have a strike rate ~50% on the rest youre doing very well which I think we have.

Yeah and let's be real, not being stuck with Grundy in the reserves or us having to pay his money with how bad it's gone is a win in itself. Id snap a hand for pick 40 right now

 

[noobermensch]

There is 2 or 3... 200cms forwards. expected to go in the Top 20.

Not really. At least, not ones that will be available to Melbourne to draft.

Jed Walter - 195cm - tied to the suns
Ethan Read - forward/ruck - 200+cm - tied to the suns
Nate Caddy - 192cm - available
Jordan Croft - forward/ruck - 200+ cm - tied to the bulldogs
Archer Reid - forward/ruck - 200+cm - available

So if you're after a key forward in the first round your available options as a team are 192cm Nate Caddy in the top 10, or 200+cm Archer Reid towards the back end of the first round.

When the choice to keep him hurts us more than trading him for unders it's not really a loss anyway.

Agree, Im more so meaning people are hung up on someone else paying the same or more than we did to get him so it doesnt seem like a fail.

Yeah, it's already a fail. We didn't go in thinking we would flip him for a better deal down the track like he's a share on the stock market.

Might be time to take him off mute you reckon?

Well I do appreciate that ADP. Maybe I got off on the wrong foot around here and could’ve handled things better.

I won’t go as far as agreeing Benny Brown isn’t good but I will agree to render any further references to The Clique and other antagonising epithets null and void, consigned to the dustbin of BigFooty Dees history.

Also, I apologise for any remarks I may have made regarding TK and the possibility he may still reside in his parents’ basement.

Even if he does, there’s nothing actually wrong with that. A basement could be quite comfy decked out with all the modern comforts.

All good, we all have moments where we take everyone on I think. No grudges held from my end.
