Or he may just lean on Bolton for information who would know him better than Voss.No doubt Fly would be calling up Vossy and asking about Stocker. If you never hear another about Stocks, then you know there's a reason we steered clear.
Trading Grundy may be a mistake, Cameron is capable but still raw.
Cox will be 32 next year and his best is rarely seen, after that, no-one is next in line. Begg is too small then nothing even close. McStay could pinch hit, but I really think we're wasting money with him, ala QLynch, J White.
If Grundy wants to go, all fine by me, but we may be literally selling ourselves short.
I don't disagree. I'd be interested in getting Melbourne involved with Grundy and a three club trade.Will cost too much. Negotiating with Dodoro is never fun.
No link to Collingwood, but if we didn't make a play I'd be annoyedSo Parish is linked to Hawks?

Pies lose: Brodie Grundy, CW 2023 first round selection, CW 2022 third round selection
Pies get: Darcy Parish, Melb 2022 second round selection
Demons lose: FRE 2022 first round selection, MEL 2022 second round selection
Demons get: Brodie Grundy, ESS 2022 third round selection
Bombers lose: Darcy Parish, 2022 third round selection
Bombers get: FRE 2022 first round selection, CW 2023 first round selection
That video said he was linked to Hawks at 20 seconds. I'd definitely have him. He's RFA next year. It's interesting Hopper and Parish may leave a year out from free agency. That may be a new trend.
We're getting a 25 year old AA inside mid back. It's not cheap, but he's a very good player and one whom perfectly compliments our running midfielders imoWe're giving up way too much there. A contracted AA ruck + a 1st rounder.
I’d take the better 2 way runner?Hope where the Darcy Parish smoke is there's a little fire. Better than Mitchell and much younger. He's everything we need in an inside midfielder

I’d only trade Grundy if we got enough currency in return to significantly boost our pick quality, and allow GW to use his magic and land Cadman.If we were to keep Grundy, get Mitchell and retain our 1st rounder that's a far better outcome for us imo.
Grundy is not an AA ruckman. That was 3 years ago ffs. Just like how Hannebury is no longer an AA wingman.As an outside observer, the upcoming trade period for us appears to be increasingly centred around Jackson and Grundy's respective movements. What Jackson decides will almost certainly have flow-on effects for what we decide to do with Grundy and from that, presumably some of our other players or moves (i.e. Henry, Mitchell).
Some points relevant to each:
Pies: Grundy is an AA ruckman, on a large contract (both in quantum and length) who hasn't played in a season where we've been successful in his absence. Whether he is capable of fitting into our system is a wait and see, however the proof that we can be successful without him exists.
Melbourne: The difference between Melbourne's first half of the season and the second half is chalk and cheese. Their success is built on a base of midfield and defence, with these two areas papering over some very large cracks in their forward line. They've attempted to mitigate this by playing Gawn forward more, however he simply doesn't have the foot or hand skills to be an effective forward - similarly, Jackson has been ineffective as a second forward this season, compounding their issues.
Personally, I don't understand Melbourne's need for Grundy, when both are likely to be required to play in tandem in the ruck and both seem more effective and comfortable when playing significant minutes as the sole ruck. I don't see Grundy moving to Melbourne as necessarily strengthening them, which probably reflects a more general and philosophical view I have about the overall value of rucks.
If Grundy is to leave, and if it can't be interstate to someone like one of the SA clubs (or GWS, GC), then I personally don't see Melbourne as the worst option.
That statement was debunked when he had 3 votes against us in a brownlow winning year. Bucks was a stubborn coach, like MM. refused to admit his strategies were ever flawedAre his disposals effective? Buckley made the comment in one game when Mitchell had a lot of disposals that "he's not doing us much damage"
Per season as per Tom Browne’s report- Edwards $500k, and they have offered both Cotchin and Rewoldt $300k per season new deals.Per season?
Sounds so easy. Roughie retired, we probably low balled Pendles?
Yep, really surprised tbh.Why aren't we going hard for Hopper?
NED MOYLE?Why don’t we get Ned Moyle from the suns
Yeah 205cm ruckNED MOYLE?
contracted atm. He clearly is Witt's successor, but I'd love him. Always liked him since he trained/played with our vfl teamWhy don’t we get Ned Moyle from the suns
He'd cost a lot.No link to Collingwood, but if we didn't make a play I'd be annoyed
