Yes. If Collingwood had folded and given in to Geelongs demands then things would be fine.
Come on mate. You do know how an average works. Here let me help you.Grundy played 7 games
Grundy played 90% ruck and got 182 hit outs in 6 games for an average of 30.3 hit outs per game
Cox played less then 45% ruck and got 317 hit outs in 18 games for an average of 17.6 hit outs per game
Cameron played less then 45% ruck and got 423 hit outs in 24 games for an average of 17.6 hit outs per game
For the amount of ruck time both Cameron and Cox were overall better then Grundy for tap outs. They played more minutes but on average they both got more ruck hit outs per minute played when averaged across the season. If you doubled Cox or Cameron's ruck time to bring it in line with Grundys per game then they would have been at about 35 hit outs each. Give it up you seam to be in the dark on this one. Both Cameron and Cox are AFL standard ruckmen. Neither is as good as Grundy but you keep digging your hole.

From my limited dealings with him (a couple of chats) and from others that know him more, he is a shy, introverted kid with a close local network and a brotherly connection to the club. I understand the reasons and am empathetic.
But given all those factors I’d probably undermines this concept he would be happy to be elsewhere.
Realistically he only wants Geelong. No where else.
As a side note, I don’t think the fact we just delisted two of his good mates at the club in the Brown brothers has probably helped.

They played funny buggers and Mackattack turned around and did the deal with GWS for Bruhn first, then snookered Wright by clearing out our futures to bring in Bowes/P7 & protect our F1. Pies played a risky game but it backfired - you can mope or just put it down to a learning experience and be better next time.
If we don't take many picks in the draft and we don't need to use it, it might as well be. Geelong need to help us upgrade it and or pick 16 and deal done.

Funnily enough, Graham Wright was the most outspoken in telling Buckley during 1993 that he wasn't wanted at Collingwood due to it meaning two players would be pushed out and the draft pick in that trade was used on Chris Scott.

Well there you go.
there is no such thing as a perfect equivalence. As every situation is different in some way. but most humans have an ability to abstract and compare based on the examples they have at hand and account for the differences.
there is no remotely believable difference in the world that explains away a 27 year old cameron at gws coming off an ordinary year as being worth 3 first round draft picks while a 28 year old grundy is only worth one mid second rounder. neither the partial salary dump or injury/form differences even remotely explain that wide a gap.
its weird how pies supporters are definding It.
So Collingwoods plan is to pick up only one player in the draft this year?
Its just so strange that such a big deal is made about all this. Its Henry, its not Buddy Franklin. I just don't get it.

Mitchell is having part of his salary part-paid by the hawks
What's your definition of "significant portion of his salary"? Do you have inside knowledge of this?
Grundy might be worth 2 first rounders in isolation but you forgot to mention that he's turning 29 at the start of the season, he's coming off a PCL and ankle injury and most of all, has 5 more years at close to $1m a year
Comparisons to Jezza are nice but irrelevant. Goals win matches not tap outs. And Cameron has delivered on that. Just like Geelong were able to win a flag with a mediocre ruck
Back to Mitchell vs Grundy. We assessed that we had a bigger need for clearance ability than tap outs. To devote a significant portion of the cap to a one-position player who isn't a forward presence made no sense. Besides, we were 13-3 without Grundy this year. And that's without a decent KPF and only one KPD. Sacrifices had to be made.
To be clear I would've loved to have kept Grundy - just not at the contract he was on. Not when he plays in the most brutal position on the ground and his cap liability would hang over us for the next 5 years
