Re: Operation Get Brodie Grundy

Was there really anyone here that honestly thought we might actually have a chance at him or are we just passing time?

I think we dodged a bullet. Knee injury, stress fractures of the foot, etc and the contract goes to 2027. 5 more years at $700k a year. Hello Stefan Martin mark II.

Collingwood has won a cash for clunkers trade.

There is definitely some prospect that Grundy is cooked but I personally like the way he plays when fit. The bigger issue is that if we got Grundy we trash all the development we have put into English.

Grundy dropped this week.

Lobb dropped this week.

Did the clubs chase the wrong tall?

Lobb a forward who rucks and Grundy is a pure ruckman. We got what we were after and it hasn't really worked yet.
Melbourne rolled the dice and it hasn't quite panned out the way they wanted either.
Had we brought in Grundy we might have dropped him a lot earlier.

Re: Operation Get Brodie Grundy

They must be super frustrated/ annoyed with Lobb to have dropped him (given how long they stuck with Bruce, which says to me with Lobb there's some issues with attitude), but technically, he is who they wanted so they made the right call to execute their strategy.

Whether they got the strategy right......

Re: Operation Get Brodie Grundy

We got the exact Lobb that’s been running around for 10yrs.

Grundy looks to have fallen away.

Yep, it was contract year for him last year, so he played better than average, in a mid field that could get to him.

We kinda stuck with him now with a crap forward delivery and running patterns.

IF we get 40 goals from him a year, his earnt his money, anything less than we are burning ours .

Flynn was the better trade , we should have chased, ironically from GWS and could not get a game.

Nah wasn't a contract year but he did want a trade so he was playing for that

Ironically, we prob win if he plays tonight.

Gawn BOG this week. Does this change the dees & Grundys thinking? English to the eagles, Lobb to Melbourne, Grundy to us. Better balance for all me thinks.

Not sure I can think of two bigger name trades being traded the very next year. But I’m bored so I will play this out to see if specifics work:

English demands $1.1M with an Eagles offer and to be with his smoking hot GF in WA.
We say we won’t pay that.

Dees offer Picks 4, 15-18 & 22 and F1 - for - Pick 1 & F2
Dees take Harley Reid

WCE have 4, 15-18, 19, 22, 37 & 55

WCE trade Barass & 15-18, 37 & 55 - for English & 34

Dogs & Dees straight swap Lobb & Grundy (plus hand them back via WCE their 4th with us for Schache (pick 70) for getting 55 off WCE as it’s not needed by either club)

For:

Dogs: In: Grundy, Barass, Pick 15-18, 38 & 55 - for - English & 34, 70
WCE: In: English, 4, 22 & 34, F1 - for - Barass & Picks 1 & 38, F2
Dees: In: Lobb, Pick 1/Harley Reid & 70, F2 - for - Grundy & 4, 15-18, 22, F1

Dogs: Lose the AA ruckman we’ve developed and Lobb. Gain another first rounder ahead of a Croft bid. So three first rounders and Croft as a fourth first rounder when bid (current consensus pick 19 - end of first round). So four first rounders (Croft & Darcy covering Lobb longer term) & Barass (to replace Keath) and Grundy to replace English.
Dees: Upgrade their first rounder to Pick 1 for their Luke Jackson picks and minor downgrade next year. Get Lobb as a more genuine forward who can support Gawn
WCE: Land the AA ruckman and turn pick 1 into Pick 4, 22 and an upgrade from early second next year to a late first next year and second round upgrade from us this year. Still holding 4, 19, 22, 34 & F1 plus English.

On Barass I rate him about Pick 10. So adding 15-18 to me = 10 & 15-18 (less the upgrade we give them second round, but third rounder back for Draft Points) for English. Jackson trade is Picks 4, 13 & 22 (less some later picks back). So English here is valued about Jackson, but for Freo stinking it up this year and improving the future picks. So about right.


Is that about it? What you were after?

I think we look a better balanced team round 1 next year in this scenario.

Re: Operation Get Brodie Grundy

Nah wasn't a contract year but he did want a trade so he was playing for that

Also pretty much played as the honcho forward all year. Very different here.
