Matt Rendall shooting the breeze on SEN reckons he has heard Brodie is gone from Collingwood, Jackson from Freo and Lobb from Freo. Reckons Collingwood will need to pony up and pay some of Brodie’s contract as part of a trade. He reckons Lobb is a lock to Bulldogs.
Proposed
Melbourne get Grundy and a first round pick
Freo get Jackson (lose Lobb and first round pick)
Western Bulldogs get Lobb (and lose first round pick)
Collingwood get some picks but get the majority of Brodie’s contract off the books.
I’d expect a bunch of draft picks swapped but the main pieces
Melbourne: pick 10, Grundy and change
Freo: Jackson, downgraded Future picks(s)/ upgraded 2022 ND pick
Collingwood: second round pick and upgraded future pick(s)
Bulldogs - get Lobb (lose first and get downgraded 1st - Freo or Melb).
Bulldogs aren’t in need of a forward either. English is very much the same as Lobb, just they don’t have a genuine ruckman.Seems weird that Melb wouldn’t be in on Lobb.. their fwd line is a mess.
Why would Grundy go to Melbourne, where is Gawn going to play???? I think there is more chance of Suma getting the Kangaroos coaching job than Grundy going to Melbourne.Matt Rendall shooting the breeze on SEN reckons he has heard Brodie is gone from Collingwood, Jackson from Freo and Lobb from Freo.

A Gawn and Grundy combo is just ludicrous. How do people come up with this stuff?
I don't know why these trades have to be so convoluted. The most sense is to just ship Lobb and our pick (s) directly to Melbourne. They can bang on all they like about his age, but Gawn and May are older than Lobb, and Melbourne's time at the top will be finished in a couple of years. Lobb is a great fit for them while they still have a chance of winning a flag. They could actually be better with Lobb instead of Jackson, plus they would get extra picks on top that they can use however they see fit.

Unless they are an arch enemy, you would back your system in to get the job done. Aka do nothing to strengthen Carltank/Eagles but the rest of the comp is okay to deal with.Why would we trade a contracted player to make a rival stronger?
He creates traffic to their articles no matter how stupid his comments areWhy are SEN giving him a voice?![]()

Agreed - this coming out would have been orchestrated, and surely he needed a bulk of good work to really back that timing up. The weekend just gone was eerily close to how he played when we all thought he was a flying potato last year, which doesn't bode well for his contract talks.Blake is playing with fire here
I personally don't think our window overlaps that much with Melbourne. They will contend this year and next. They might have some chance in 2024, but odds are they will have begun their slide after 3 years near the top. Whereas we should be looking at a few finals campaigns this year and next, while building towards 2024/25 as the start of our proper window.
It is easy to forget the core of our talent is 18-24. I think we will be better placed when that group is say 21-27, with a few older heads like Pearce, Aish and Ryan hanging on.
I’m just the messenger. He contradicts himself a little and says Grundy is a better ruckman than forward and Gawn is a decent forward. I agree that Lobb is a better fit for Melbourne. Grundy will end up somewhere but I doubt him being paired with Gawn is the go. Maybe Grundy on the Cheap to North in one of these Gold Coast type deals heavily endorsed by AFL where North come out dancing.Why would Grundy go to Melbourne, where is Gawn going to play???? I think there is more chance of Suma getting the Kangaroos coaching job than Grundy going to Melbourne.
All jokes aside, he is very close to Young. Was outed about his relationship with Young about 10 years on a radio show. He got quite upset.Crumpet face is very, very hard to look at.
His best mate is Suma, he's after clickbait.
He won
They also have Sam Darcy on their list lol.Bulldogs aren’t in need of a forward either. English is very much the same as Lobb, just they don’t have a genuine ruckman.
Meek and Lobb could be worth going to bulldogs in exchange for picks and Jackson coming back as part of a package
It’s Young who feeds this shit out to these leeches. They just do all the work for him. I wonder if they get a kickback cos he would do well on the extra commission I would thinkAll jokes aside, he is very close to Young.

google Mark Blicavs.Fair enough, but how should he be viewed. I keep seeing him be labelled as a big midfielder, a forward, a ruck... a combination of all? Seems we are into him, so where would we play him?
Works both ways, Hagdorn gets dickheads like us clicking his shit, Young gets to put out his agenda .It’s Young who feeds this s**t out to these leeches. They just do a the work for him. I wonder if they get a kickback cos he would do well on the extra commission I would think
Classic case of him living "rent free" in posters heads.Why are we bringing up Hagdorn again?
I don't mind it. Our list has some imbalances and Logue was a forced change which has worked. Hopefully it encourages more creativity in that regard.This kind of praise for Logue is justified ....and costly. Thanks for nuttin' AFL. Ha.
