Traded Brodie Grundy [traded to Sydney for #46 and F2]

[rye]

Hopefully he finally gets "valued".

Gee you would hate Maxi to get injured. Whose your back up ruck?

melbourne are about to land a big fish from brisbane. great pedigree - former basketballer

 

[projectv]

Bargain for Sydney, they are having an amazing trade period so far.

 

[YeoShuey]

Ridiculous that Melbourne are not paying a cent but it is what it is I guess.

 

[Magpie Since 1986]

Anyone know if Goodwin still values Brodie ?

 

[HTPunter]

Sydney have clearly pitched to a contracted player so onus is on them to get the deal done.

Or just keep the best backup ruckman on our list for when we need them.

Sounds the like sky is falling. Guy got paid 800k to play half a season, isn’t the worst thing to happen in the world. Pretty sure most people here would prefer that over there 9-5 but yeah, let’s all feel sorry for the bloke whose doing it tough.

Clubs were lining up for his services so his obviously an in-demand commodity.

Is a pick in the 30s and 46 what you thought the Swans would pay considering they” pitched” to him?

Why is that ridiculous? Sydney have taken on the entire Melbourne portion of the contract for the player they have acquired from Melbourne.

Works for me. Just hope we got somewhere to spend this 1.4M

Yeah even as a Sydney supporter I am not bothered by this. We recruited him so we pay the rest of his salary.

A question about that, don’t players get given new contracts when traded? I would assume that the contract would be made with each individual club (who would be paying them) rather than the AFL?

Reckon Melbourne have done well here

You wanted more?

 

[Swanssince91]

So have we, we got one of the comps best rucks for a couple junket picks

Kinda depends where swans end. If they finish up top and with north compo could be like 38 + 44 for Grundy…. Which isn’t anything to write home about

Someone who was one of the best rucks - not is

He may get back there

His numbers are no different, he just spent less time on the ground

 

[Footy Smarts]

Good result for Melbourne. Got rid of an unwanted player on a massive salary and even got some steak knives in the deal.

Why would Melbourne need to pay anything to Grundy?

46 in this draft is worth nothing. Theyve done ok but not much more.

You were melting for months saying a move like this won’t happen.

Now you are fine with it?

I’m not sure where Melbourne will use their new found salary cap space but whatever happens will be better than 650k on a back up ruck.

Nah Sydney went after Grundy, Adams went to Sydney after he was given a nudge from Collingwood, weeks before the Grand Final. Pies want his salary off the books, they just not saying it. Swans needs a ruckman, not another midfielder

So Beatson explained in an interview this afternoon that they were approached mid year about Grundy as he was unhappy at Melbourne.

When asked about Adams, he said his management contacted him between Prelim and GF, so that wasn’t initially planned.

So either your sources are completely off or you are just full of shiit.

Regardless how much i liked a player that would irk me considerably going to a rival club in the middle of finals.

Yeah I wonder whether Adams was down having to miss the GF with injury, or whether he always planned to do it, but rather than wait post GF, he just felt there was no need to wait. If it gets him more misfiled time and an extension to his career, maybe that was always going to happen.

Deserved a premiership given what he gave the club. I think every Collingwood fan will be wishing him the best.

 

[zeggie]

He played more senior games and kicked more senior goals in 2023 then in 2022

He had a longer riskier contract in 2022 then he does in 2023

He was pushed out in 2022 where as Dees happy to hold in 2023

He had injury clouds in 2022 where he is fit in 2023

But yeah, worth more in 2022 right? Lol

Less AFL games / goals + injury clouds + riskier contract + being pushed out = higher value to some in here.

Comical

Works for me. Just hope we got somewhere to spend this 1.4M

September 16, which is Semi final weekend, Adams had already contacted Sydney. Beatson is full of shiit that that he contacted between the Prelim and GF.
