Not really, because he now carries a 30% loading for any suspensions. So him missing an extra week or two due to indiscretions playing for another club wouldn't be overly pleasant.
Its been a few years since this trade, whats your thoughts?
How much could the Eagles use Brodie Grundy (the traded pick) these days.
Collingwood a long way ahead in this trade!

Another terrible trade like Jetta and Redden. Where's the accountability for the Eagles trade team? Why have they not been sacked?
Gee. Collingwood would be pretty stoked with how this panned out..

Horrible trade, but we wouldn't have taken Grundy.
Given that we drafted Colledge, Hutchings, Carter and upgraded Brad Dick we probably came out on top with Sharrod anyway.
Into his 5th season at WC and only one of them has been any good.
Yeah and Freo wouldnt have taken Hodge or Judd but they sure would have helped!
Wow that was a bad draft for the Eagles!

We picked up Lycett in 2010 and Naitanui in 2008 so I reckon we would've gone small rather than taking Grundy.
Great deal for the Pies who probably got slightly more than he was worth as he was contracted.
Wellingham has been okay although the price was too steep in the end.

They were picks 45, 59 and 60 respectively so probably not the best way of assessing how well we would have used the pick. That being said, I don't know who we would have taken. Ben Kennedy probably?
Yes i got your point the first time around however Grundy, like Hodge, Mitchell and the other guy 11 years prior, was taken with the traded pick so will forever be linked to the trade.
Wellingham looked really good in 2012 as a full-time midfielder but it seems the Eagles used him more as a defender. I don't think they utilised him right so he wasn't able to continue improving.
That was a terrible draft, especially from that pick on. Good plan to trade picks in slim draft years, and it is cherry picking to look at Grundy and say they could have taken him. Of course it is true; when you look in the rear view mirror.
Yep, up there with the Stenglein and Chick trades. After all, they were both traded for first round picks and weren't elite footballers either, right?
Sometimes they come off and fit within the system, sometimes they don't.

Overreaction. Wellingham has played 70 games for the club and helped us get to a grand final. Not much talent around pick 18 in the 2012 draft that we would have taken and got better output from.
