Officially gone with this news.

Even if nothing eventuates from this meeting the fact that we met pretty much means he's gone.

Gone to who and for what ?

    I hope the club comes up with a better suited alternative to Grundy. At his best he’s been a bloody good player and probably still has a lot of good football in him but neither Grundy or Max are good enough as forwards to make that combination work for us in my opinion.

    At the moment, Grundy's contract is an albatross around Collingwood's neck.

    I am not so generous a man to relieve that suffering without a few certainties; he can recover from his injury, we don't take on more than half his wage, we give very little in draft capital, and it doesn't impact our ability to get a Georgiades/Naughton/ready to go tall forward.

    I wonder if the chatter around Geelong is to create some ‘fake’ competition. 

    No they genuinely need a ruck.

    I think the albatross is more likely to be a goose

    Noooo Grundy FCS!   A tall contested marking KF should be our biggest priority.

    Who knows but we wouldn't be interviewing ruckmen if we thought there was a chance he was staying.

    We might if we weren't entirely sure he was staying. ;)

    Yes we would it’s called understanding what all our options are to optimise the outcome whether he stays or goes 

    A meeting with Grundy doesn’t confirm anything at this stage

    Have to admit though, pretty hefty plan b if the captain was present.

    It's pretty clear Jackson's gone even before we met with Grundy. It's now just a matter of what we can get back for him and what we use that on.

    I still don't get it from Freos point of view but I guess they can't pass the opportunity to get high level talent in the door when it presents.

    Oh and I'm not keen on Grundy at all. Let Collingwood suffer with that contract stuffing their cap for a few more years.

    I’d offer Brodie an 8 year deal

    if he refuses, offer 10 years

    We got Jackson after tumbling down the ladder and he helped us win a flag. He's now going to leave, seemingly for personal reasons, which I cannot for the life of me understand. However we can now set ourselves up with 2 very high draft picks, some astute drafting and maybe a raid on a tall KPF. Once upon a time all the drama was on the field, now to keep us entertained they've extended the drama to a whole of club experience with player movements used to keep us salivating 12 months of the year. Personally I find the whole thing a bit contrived but hey Jackson for 2 really good forwards and a recruiting coup thrown in....why the hell not!

    Sounds like how we  bought our house off market - keep negotiating up until they say yes

    Going after Grundy makes sense as he is a ready made, experienced ruckman to suit our window which is right now. Starting back at a rookie or 23 year old non experienced ruckman would create a weak link.

    Also isnt it very odd to meet a player from a rival club just before finals in which we could face off against??

    He won't be a free agent though. We will need to trade for him. What are we going to have to give up? One of our first rounders?

    2 really good forwards taken with very high picks? I hope you take photo's of the secret Friday morning r23 meeting between Adam Simpson and Dogga in an airport lounge when he arrives "early" for Geelong and we fly up to Brisvegas

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
