The pies would rather keep Grundy than get pick 1 in my mind. He's the best ruck in the comp and their most important player, and could potentially cost them a flag in the next few years if he departs. They are fair and square in their window, and he's a massive reason.
We get Stocker and another crack at a first rounder, who combined might be more valuable than pick 1. We could easily win this one still.
The crows - well - they just win. Try as I might I can't see how they lose this one. I have decided not to waste my energy on what they get out of it, all that matters is what we get.
Think Grundy's up for free agency the year after. And he has made no secret of his wish to go back to Adelaide. Maybe it's pick 1 next year, or bugger all the year after. Also up to Collingwood if they think they can win a flag next year (if they don't win this year), then they might think just keep him and take what ever compo they get the year after.
All theory of course.
