    Think that was a heavily front-loaded contract due to Carlton having the $ and JM wanting to put a price on his head no other club could match in the PSD. He won't be on that sort of money next year.

      There's an interesting Roar article suggesting that Collingwood have totally messed up by signing Brodie Grundy up to an epic 7 year megadeal. All you ruck-skeptics will agree with the sentiment.
      The writer suggests they should try and trick GW$ into swapping Grundy for Cameron.

      Grundy is a seven-year albatross hanging around Collingwood’s neck

        A forward line with a fit Buddy, Joe and Jeremy could be fun!

          A decision which has presumably backfired a tad for him this year in the end.
          I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
          We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

            I've been reviewing a few tapes on this year's draft. Not many. Just a few. But I can say a few things with some confidence:
            • We will have to put up with the Bulldogs being a top team for the next decade. Ugle-Hagan could be the next Buddy. Looks terrific. Great NGA steal.
            • Let's not worry about our midfield. Campbell and Gulden are both guns. They are both so impressive with all aspects of their game. Add Stephens, McInerney, Blakey and Rowbottom and we've got a 6 gun midfielders for a long, long time, if we can keep them all. Blakey's the oldest at 20. It will be like a massive wave, getting bigger every year.

              Well we will need to throw whatever is left!

              Reckon this is pretty harsh. Grundy is a gun.

                    Would much prefer Grundy than Cameron

                      Grundy isn't out of contact and just signed a 7 year deal. He is going nowhere.

                          Yep, one ordinary, not terrible, year out of three isn't too bad.

                            I bit top heavy, and you'd need to put 3 other highly defensive forwards to stop the run out. Maybe a forward line like:

                            F: Joe, Jeremy, Lloyd
                            HF: Cunningham, Buddy, Rampe


                            might work?

                              With Buddy taking up so much cap space for the next 2 years, I doubt you will see us pull a rabbit out of the hat and trade in a Cameron or Grundy. The only way it could happen is for an elite recruit to take unders for a couple of years then overs once Buddy retires.

                              More likely is we go to the draft, pick up 3 excellent prospects and continue with our steady rebuild.

                                Ah gotcha. Yeah I would keep Grundy too.
