Yeah because he contacted them the same day as that post. Vice captain of the number one team that was already in the prelim contacting other clubs. Pick 33 for a required player.
Its a good deal for both mobs.
Always good not to pay way overs to secure the guy you chase, and fill a massive list hole.
Cost to club is 600-650K for 4 yrs. These days that is damn good value for a dual All Aust #1 ruck in prime. Clubs are paying over that for slick flankers.
Some could say that is "cheap". A massive relief putting that vacant slot to bed early in trade period.

You got one thing right.
With a heavily back-ended contract whose position was unfortunately taken. You seem to be more concerned about Adams leaving Collingwood than anyone at Collingwood.
Peace be with you.

Not concerned with Adams leaving Collingwood. I’ve just been stating what has happened, Pies wanted Adam’s and his contract (back ended you say) off their books. They gave him a nudge despite saying publicly he was required. Dees gave James Harmes a nudge to get his back ended contract off their books. I didn’t saying anything was wrong for doing it.

Swans have made out like bandits there. They are taking on his salary, but even still, if they have the money in their cap to afford him, they haven't given up much draft capital to secure him. Well played

If 46 and F2 is all it took to get him out of there, I would have like for us go after him harder. Melbourne would have got more out of us than they did from Sydney. And imagine him shoving it down the throat of our elite mids in the coming years. Would have been lovely.
Beatson gave a special thanks to Rawlings for the Stephens dealings.
Good relationship between the clubs outside of BF.

I don't mind the Swans, have been my second team for most of the last 20 years, probably seen more Swans games live than I have North games in that time when I was living in Syd.
******* look at that. Beatson already covering for his new player. That's the kinda stuff that makes a team want to run through a wall for a recruiting manager.

You can't kick goals when you're unconscious.
Very good bit of business for Sydney.
Pick #46 this year is hilarious considering the pick trade which all the Dees supporters are vehemently defending.

He was so maligned they made him vice captain.
Not sure if serious, you realise that wasn't the whole trade, right?
Or was it just a lame attempt at trolling? Arsenal fan so highly likely

Explain the rest of the whole trade to us then.
Sydney have done well here. Fill a massive gap.
Where did I say that it wasn't a good trade for Sydney? More trolling perhaps?
I can't be bothered trying to educate a pissant who is too lazy to read

Nice straw man. You going to explain how pick 46 is going to be used? Otherwise jog on.

Ultimately the Demons trading for Grundy was a decent idea that didn't work out because both Gawn and Grundy are number one rucks and couldn't work in the same lineup. So they moved on an expensive contract that they don't have to pay a cent for and got a future second and pick 46, in terms of salary cap dumps that isn't an awful outcome.
Poor foot skills, decision making.
Endless turn overs, he was considered a mediocre mid by a lot of people.
Had his good points and games of course.
He was maligned by supporters you nitwit.
