Yeah, of course they're not. People are acting as if we're totally ****ed by it. I'd rather pay Grundy that than De Goey $700k+!I’m not criticising Grundy. Just over the talk of trading him, no club is taking on a 7 year deal.
Degoey missed so much footy doesn’t even feel like a player for us tbhYeah, of course they're not. People are acting as if we're totally f’ed by it. I'd rather pay Grundy that than De Goey $700k+!
I remember how electric he was in 2018 and 2019... what happened?!?Degoey missed so much footy doesn’t even feel like a player for us tbh
Just never had a decent run of games. Always something...I remember how electric he was in 2018 and 2019... what happened?!?
Stengle mid season Taylor end of? why not!We should consider drafting Elijah Taylor end of season if he is still around with our last pick.
I would be trading Grundy to Port and praying they are close enough to a flag to throw something crazy at us.
JDG has 15 weeks to sort himself out, if he can't let him go, time to shine young man, you want all the fancy expensive toys time to earn them.
Sidebottom and Pendles don't go anywhere, play out the remainder of there careers in B&W, no one is giving anything decent for them at that age.
Not sure about Stengle.Stengle mid season Taylor end of? why not!
Trading Pendles would be about as bad for our image as possible, not to mention bad in terms of all the knowledge he can impart on our youth. Moreover, he's still our best mid!
A month ago I wouldn't have thought about moving Steele, but he looks bloody disinterested. Hasn't checked back in since his off-field stuff up last year. I'd rather trade De Goey than either of them though.
EDIT: oh yeah, would also boot Cox off too to a team in need.
I think you make a really good point with Grundy and Port Adelaide. They would probably believe that he would be the last piece in the puzzle to secure a flag. As much as I would love to keep him, we could get some real talent with his salary and would get some nice picks on top. We are in no position to maintain the likes of Grundy and would probably go places faster without him. Having said that, I don't believe we would trade him and i'm fine with that.
WTF is with people suggesting Stengle? Is he being confused with McAdam? Honest question because the guy is a stupid big risk for a club entering a full rebuild when he was maybe middling in his time in the system. I get it if he was a Charlie Cameron level talent and he’s still young (ish) at 23 in October, but for us to even consider going there is mad.
William Drew & Todd Marshall
1st round pick 2021.
That's what I would take and think Port would struggle knock that back if they could afford it.

Plus we have No Dickhead rule

No dickhead rule? Huh wouldn’t that rule out Steele?..

Two meh guys and a pick that gets absorbed by a Daicos bid? Hard pass. That is also completely ignoring that Port weren’t interested in Grundy for a reason namely that they already have Lycett on a bloated contract...
Edit: not having a dig Beeg because I agree with your thinking that shedding his salary works for us. The problem is that everyone knows that’s why we’d be moving him so for us to get remotely adequate value clubs need to come at him and we’re trading his salary not him. That being the case you need a club with both cap space and need of a ruckman. Sydney’s the only one that ticks both boxes, IMO, and again they need to target him when I think they’ll have their sights set on Moore.
That’s an interesting stat.

I’ve noticed Sidebottom butcher it consistently, but not so much Daicos.
I’d like to know if a new Hawthorn player (Phillips) was towards the bottom as well?
