If Grundy did go to the Dees, I rather have their future first than this year’s pick.
Can see the Demons not making the 8 next year.

We live in hopeIf they somehow lost to Brisbane I could actually see them dropping out of the 8 next year too
Not sure what losing to Lions this year has to do with not making the 8 next year - please explain why?If they somehow lost to Brisbane I could actually see them dropping out of the 8 next year too
Can’t see them dropping like that. We need to build now not later. Sooner we get picks sooner we develop them. Plus the amount of potential talls this year I’m keen to have available picksIf Grundy did go to the Dees, I rather have their future first than this year’s pick.

We dodged a bullet with Taranto and Hopper, GWS want 2 first round picks for Taranto and a top 10 pick for Hopper, unfortunetly, they want a second rounder for Hill.

Oops - if they want a second, they should have traded him last yearunfortunetly, they want a second rounder for Hill.
How this is a good idea I’ll never know. I’d prefer to put some time into Kelly and McMahon
GWS are kidding themselves if they want a second rounder for a guy who is out of contract and hasn't played AFL since May.We dodged a bullet with Taranto and Hopper, GWS want 2 first round picks for Taranto and a top 10 pick for Hopper, unfortunetly, they want a second rounder for Hill.

I think even Lipinski was worth more last year than what Hill is worth now.We offered them two picks last year around late 30s/early 40s and they didn’t take them.
His value didn’t all of a sudden increase 12 months on.
What we paid for Lipinski is about right for Hill
Think people seem to forget Moore’s previous history, if he goes down who’s left? Dean hasn’t played a single game, and is no guarantee to play. There’s nobody left.I'd say our recruiters rate players who perform in the SANFL and see Frampton replacing the equivalent of Keane, Kelly, McMahon or Madgen (whatever happens with list decisions) on the list. He will cost just about nothing. We get a taller key defender when we only now have Moore. Frampton is pulling in ridiculous numbers in the SANFL for his role, is athletic, tall, a great field kick and intercept mark - the query is his man marking, noting we generally zone. Low risk, high reward. I think it makes a lot of sense.
They won't get a second rounder for hill.We dodged a bullet with Taranto and Hopper, GWS want 2 first round picks for Taranto and a top 10 pick for Hopper, unfortunetly, they want a second rounder for Hill.

We’ve managed that before, Anxiety is a different thing and clearly it hasn’t allowed Stocker to reach his potential.De Goey has ADHD - not ideal?
I heard that too and was struck by how Edmund went out of his way to say that although GWS had salary cap issues they wanted to clear, they weren’t going to have to roll over in the trades.We dodged a bullet with Taranto and Hopper, GWS want 2 first round picks for Taranto and a top 10 pick for Hopper, unfortunetly, they want a second rounder for Hill.

Clubs won't disclose this information unless a player allows it as confidentiality is a fundamental right with healthcare. If it's well-handled and Stocker accepts help, then it's not a reason not to sign him. But personally, I do not rate Liam Stocker and his name is greatly inflated by the opinion of Silvagni.Stocker went public with anxiety issues a couple of years ago and has remained public about it ever since.
What chronic injury issues does Grundy have to make the comparison with Hannebury valid?Grundy is not an AA ruckman. That was 3 years ago ffs. Just like how Hannebury is no longer an AA wingman.
Timelines, form and age matter when we are talking trades….
Resilience is a must, but "Mental health problems" is a pretty bloody big basket to cross out and I suspect you'd be crossing out some highly resilient stars of the game. No idea about Stocker's situation. Good luck to him and I hope he gets another chance somewhere and works hard enough to make it.That’s all good and well, but somebody with mental health problems is not ideal. Nothing against him, wish him all the best but we have to bring in the best and most capable. Resilience is big part of playing professional sport .
Harry McKayok a hypothetical - let’s say for Grundy we get two first rounders (picks in the teens).
Which player would you give up three first rounders for? (Like cats did with Cameron with second rounders coming back).

Grundy hasn’t been a top 2 ruck for a long time. 3 years in fact. Potentially gets back to his best, but most likely won’t get close. Do you want a million dollar ruck who breaks even with rucks the calibre of Andrew Phillips?He’s the second best ruck in the comp at his worst. Potentially gets back to his best after his layoff. He does things that no other ruck can do.
That's good, GWS has now let us know what they expect as best case scenario for Hill, it's now up to us to negotiate middle groundWe dodged a bullet with Taranto and Hopper, GWS want 2 first round picks for Taranto and a top 10 pick for Hopper, unfortunetly, they want a second rounder for Hill.
