My read is that the club has suggested he canvas his options, he'd be dumb not to.Mr Miyagi wrote:Unfortunately if Grundy has personally met Melbourne himself, as reported, then a trade looks likely.

*snap*That's how I read it too stui. Only a fool would not recognise Grundy as anything but a star of the game. However, my guess is our footy department feel hamstrung by the ridiculously large contract he is on. In light of the good form of Cameron and Cox, with Begg the apprentice, it wouldn't surprise me if Wright has suggested Grundy should seek another club, so we can free up some salary cap to bring in a couple of players which fill particular needs. I suggest it would also send an important message to our whole squad about the risks of putting too much pressure on the club for monster contracts.stui magpie wrote:My read is that the club has suggested he canvas his options, he'd be dumb not to.Mr Miyagi wrote:Unfortunately if Grundy has personally met Melbourne himself, as reported, then a trade looks likely.
If he's impressed with what Melbourne has to offer and is open to a move, then the negotiations start. If he's not open, he stays.
I don't see this as a fire sale, we would be wanting quality pick(s) in return, if we mirrored what we did with Treloar then sack everyone in Admin, burn the joint down and start again.
I accept the logic that they think our system can get by without him, so look at dumping some salary cap and getting some good draft picks, but that doesn't mean i like it.
Arguing he should give money back or that we shouldn't have paid him that much is just dumb. We offered, he accepted. It's hard to prove his worth when he's injured and he wasn't the only player to lose form having to live in Covid hubs.
oh god yes, this is so nicks after a loss!!! so funny!Cam wrote:pietillidie wrote:Yes, but I've got the patience of a toddler and I'm bitterly jealous of those who excel at something and earn more than me because it makes me feel even more of a loser than I am already.

How much do you think WHE is on? He's not in the Herald Suns top 100 list, bottom at 100 is Charlie Dixon on $550-$650.
Moore, Adams, De Goey and Grundy are the only ones on the list.
WHE is out of contract this year, I also wouldn't be surprised if he was moved on, but he's still getting AFL games so he must be considered better at the moment than the young ones in the VFL.
Cheers stui. I really don’t know what sort of coin WHE is on, but I seem to recall he was on a very big contract when we signed him. He is still a good player, but not one deserved of more than around $450,000 pa imho.stui magpie wrote:Cheers Bruce,
