We have just made one of our main competitors a lot stronger. **** that is. I trust we are not paying one cent of his contract for this shitpence deal.

This. You would hope we relented due to salary.

Gutted. Peter Moore style gutted.

All the best to Thor, he’s a different cat and I’m okay with that.

But Melbourne can get effed if we’re paying salary and just get 27 in return. Feels like we were bent over and ripped off by dodgy door to door UK tradies. This should be on A Current Affair as a con job

I have NO words, I expected better of Wright, just gutted, we will rue the day we accepted this shitty "deal". one lousy shit pick, to make them an even better team. We never learn. Ever.

Thanks for the memories, Brodie.

Always sad when a good servant of the club departs.

Fantastic fella good luck Brodie. It is Grundy IT IS!

Sounds like we blinked. Very disappointing outcome, particularly when we had leverage. Pick 27 is a joke for an AA ruckman at the peak of his career and we should never have accepted it.

Has been a great servant and sorry to see him go. 27 is unders but interested to know how many games people think he has left in him?

Now watch us fold for massive unders re Henery.

I just dont feel like this is a disaster. I wanted a first rounder but we just didnt have a strong hand.
This is a bold move. Thanks Broadie.

Now, I really hope we dont blink on Henry.

Thanks to your contribution to the club Brody and all the best. I genuinely wish you well.

I really liked the late goal to sink Richmond, but favourite moment was the run down the wing Rd 4 2018 leading to a goal. Felt like our season came alive from that moment in an upset victory.

Hopefully this allows us to get all the deals done that we want to get done.

To all the posters who are lamenting how unstoppable we have made Melbourne: how many flags did adding Buddy to the Swans deliver? From the way they played in the second half of this year, another good ruckman is unlikely to be the difference. I still don't know how they intend to play both Gawn and Grundy - when neither of them is a forward half weapon in their spare time.

You cant ignore the $$ anymore. 700k off the books better spent elsewhere is what the club thought and thats the path we're going down.

Perhaps we have a massive target next season? Time will tell.

On paper at least should be at the peak of his career... We'll never truly know what offloading him facilitates, but I think history on this one will take a little while longer to be written.

Huh ?? I can see us getting shafted over him too, and caving in for jack shit. We never learn to play hard ball , ever.
