2nd round pick in the 30s is a nothing pick + 1.5 million to pay. Prefer we keep him or trade him for nothing to a club that takes all of his wage. Almost perfer to pay a club a draft pick to take all of his wage.

The Dees are doing Collingwood are massive favour by getting Grundy and most of his contract off your books, so a 2nd round pick probably seems right to me.
That's still a very good asset/capital to have tbh.
I guess the question is, do you prefer to keep him if it means missing out on / losing Degoey/Mcstay/Hill/Frampton/Mitchell/Fiorini/2nd rounder
Sure, but with the issue being that of all the other clubs, Geelong won't take on his wage, there are a number of clubs who are performing too poorly atm to be in contention for Grundy (Essendon, North, Hawthorn), and all other Vic clubs are already committed to a first-line ruckman.
Nobody has the cap space to take on the full Grundy wage.
SOS also said today that Lachie Hunter from the Dogs was worth a late 1st round pick! He has no idea.

Well, this goes against the popular theory amongst a lot of people in this thread.

It’d just be Mitchell and 2nd rounder. Refer to Gleeson’s article in the Age above.

De Goey rejects Collingwood contract offer over behavioural clauses
Collingwood’s Jordan De Goey has rejected a contract offer from the Magpies, saying he will not sign a new deal with the behaviour clauses the club is demanding.
More relevant to DeGoey apart from this part..
“Collingwood do not have to trade out Grundy to make salary cap room for the players they have targeted this trade period in McStay, Bobby Hill from the Giants and Billy Frampton from Adelaide.
The option of trading Grundy is about creating salary cap space for other potential moves such as Tom Mitchell from Hawthorn.”

Goes against people’s narratives to make Collingwood look like idiots and to reduce Grundy’s value. Watch how no-one will even acknowledge it

It’s always been clear as day that McStay and Grundy aren’t linked at all. Grundy can stay and we’d still be picking up McStay.De Goey rejects Collingwood contract offer over behavioural clauses

If we can dump 700k which will pay for Tom Mitchell then it’s a big improvement for the list

It’s never quite made sense given the number of players on big dollars at some other clubs.
I think Wrights historical comments about a cap hangover have been misconstrued a fair bit.
IMO he simply hasn’t been happy with where we have been spending our $ and is now really trying to flatten out the pay structure and cut the fat from certain areas of the ground.
What would have Hale and McEvoy been paid under his watch? Probably no more than half of what Grundy is on. Bloke knows rucks aren’t worth the big bucks, and is trying to establish some consistency in our TPP after years of mismanagement

They are adding an elite ruck to the team that won the flag before going many months unbeaten.
I wouldn't feel too sorry for them
Poluter was superceded by Nick Daicos, McCrae need time to develop and Henry got a good run at it. I think you are trying to balance the list. They are not going all in, they are building a list that they think can flag. This year was a pleasant surprise but does not change the plan.
I hope North follow it to a certain extent.
Because it has to be done, the problem must be cleaned up. New admin can simply claim to their fault. No different to the corporate world when a new CEO comes in and clears the decks with asset write downs etc. How the hell does GCS have cap issues? Pies are not on their own.
Just wrong. Adelaide, Hawthorn and Port were all keen and could have covered his wage.

Surely there’d be an 18yo beanpole they’re looking at in this draft. Even if you’re recruiting Grundy, you need to invest 4-5 years into a ruckman to get him upto senior standards.

Wouldn’t be pinning my hopes on a 15-16 year old at this stage…. Unless the surname was Daicos, of course.

Mature age state leaguer to back up Grundy / gawn - sounds a decent fit
Kid is pushing 2m and is looking the goods, Weiderman can fill the void in between if needed. Or as people mentioned, late rookie pick or trade in another on the cheap.
Adelaide and Port are interstate, Hawthorn are ordinary this year. No way he is going to any of them.
Besides, why would Grundy - as a player in his late twenties - go from a club that was two points off a Grand Final (in a game where they were beaten in the ruck), to a club outside the eight, and in the case of Adelaide and Hawthorn, a long way outside the eight?
