Traded Brodie Grundy [Traded to Melbourne for #27]

[Bay Pie]

Hahaha. Wright and McRae are going to use the ole "We're just trying to fix someones else's mistake to deflect their way away from this epic trade".

Shit deal is shit. Next you know we'll handover a reasonable draft pick for a guy about to be delisted.

s**t deal is s**t. Next you know we'll handover a reasonable draft pick for a guy about to be delisted.

Like a 3rd rounder for Frampton?

And how is it their fault?

 

[Isaac Norm Smith]

Well done Dees. This is a steal.

 

[Chism]

Are the Pies paying $300k a year for the whole contract? Add the Treloar money also and how long that has left this has been a disaster for the Pies.

 

[VinnieB]

Great deal if he stays injury free. Seems like we'll pay 700 and Pies 300, which is about right considering pick. Dunno how Max and Grundy will work, but keen to see how it plays out if we get that 5 player bench next season.

I believe it may well be the Demons pay $700k (Grundy took a slight cut) and the Pies are paying around the $150k.
Sad to see him go, as I would rather have got rid of Cameron and Cox, but as it stands, we have other more pressing holes to fix.

 

[Gone Critical]

Good luck Brodie. Loved having you at the Pies. Great get and price for Melb

Pick 27 for Grundy on paper is a great trade.

Still hard to picture how him and Gawn will work together without diminishing each others strengths, but at least the club is being creative here and has replaced a ruckman in Jackson immediately.

I'd imagine Gawn plays forward a bit more, Grundy a little bit forward, and combined the little bit of extra time each plays forward (or resting) saves their body a bit more.
I can see the logic in this - both players probably eek out an extra 12 months of career.

 

[PieLebo87]

Dees are already clear winners. Even if the ruck duo of Gawn and Grundy doesn't work out they still needed another legit ruck on their books and now they have the best and arguably 2nd best in the league, and got him for a steal in both salary and draft capital.

Time will tell.

The salary is good, but it’s for another 5 years, and he will be 29 in April. If they get a flag in that time, then yes.

What if Collingwood wins a flag with Tom Mitchell next year though?

 

[Milanista28]

Hope both are AA end of next year, super curious how it looks.

 

[La Dispute]

Lose/lose trade IMO.

Collingwood paying another player to run around with an opposition side, Melbourne bring in a pure ruckman who can’t play forward to play a hybrid ruck/forward role - and still paying a decent salary.

 

[DanWA]

I am keen to see the Gawn and Grundy combo

Absolute bargain for Melbourne

 

[10571z]

We payed 250k a year to get rid of him.

1 club interested

Pick 27 still received only

Sook all you like but you cleary are severely overpaid and didn’t perform close to the money YOU demanded.

28 and 5 seasons to run.

Just come off a bad knee injury. Risky still

 

[Marcel Proust]

Treloar. Grundy.

Who's next to get paid by Collingwood to play elsewhere?

Demanded or pies choose to give him?

The only win is getting out from under that contract it was now or never.

Think where paying some of Phillips deal aswell.

Demanded cleary.

 

[Toump Ass]

Allday is a sweetheart. Dudes got better s**t to do than respond to me if he’s got 200k followers

I know him, and he is. Not a huge fan of his music but he's a ripper person

 

[Foxman98]

Welcome Melbourne to the Pies paying you a player 300k a year crew

 

[Marcel Proust]

Demanded cleary.

Takes two to tango.

You could have traded him then for more and not paid his hefty contract forever

 

[Chism]

Are you ever really out of it if you are paying around $300k a season for the next 5+ years? I don’t know what the exact amount is but rumored to be close to it. Pies fans will always say it is the lowest they can etc though.

 

[VinnieB]

He had 1 year to go when we traded him a coupe of seasons ago.
