Wow, at the club I used to play a few Reserves games like 10 years ago.

Like ships passing in the night

Where I was born! Me and Ves are basically brothers.

Guys....this is the big one.

Can't believe it.

Which one is Pat?

**** you! I wanted that joke.

[Dancin' Douggy]

???????? What the actual f%$@#&???"

port trade it's future 1st to freo for freos pick 22 and freos future 2nd round pick.

[Dancin' Douggy]

And suddenly pick 4 becomes pick 5. I don't know why, when it was only an exchange of picks, we didn't wait to see what other machinations played out before finalising the deal with GC. It's quite insane.

North have received pick 3 as compensation for losing Ben McKay.

It’s been pretty well assumed all the way along that 4 will be 6 by the time we actually pick.

Back to official trades:

North Melbourne has landed Dylan Stephens from Sydney. Have traded their end of first rounder next year and pick 44 this year for Stephens and pick 25 this year from the Swans

[GVGjr]

That's a good deal for both clubs and the player.

[bulldogtragic]

Jeez, Stevens devalued quickly after being driven off the car lot.

[Dancin' Douggy]

Yeah it might slide lower during the actual draft but now it's STARTING at pick 5. I have an awful feeling next years first rounder is gonna bite us on the arse. HARD.

[Grantysghost]

Giving away Grundy. What a strange turn of events.

Giving away Grundy. What a strange turn of events.

They tried something radical and it didn't work. Grundy didn't cost them much so it's not a huge loss for them.
They've apparently freed up 1.5M in cap space.

Do we know what the salary agreement is? Are Sydney taking on the entire cost or are Melbourne chipping in now? Are Collingwood fans dancing now they're free from paying some of his contract?
