I thought Grundy could kick goals

His highest tally is 12 in a season (2021)  so not overly great. But still 2 more goals than the generational talent that’s currently relieving Max in the ruck.

    He hasn't been a premier ruckman for 2 years, and now has a series of injuries. 

    There is a fairly decent list of players who're injury prone, but move to another club where the medical staff get them right and they thrive, if Selwyn and the team think they can get Grundy back to anywhere near his best i think we'd be silly not to seriously look at it.

    Jackson he did kick 16 goals last year in just his 2nd year of AFL footy.

    That's more then Grundy ever has in any season.

    He's on massive coin, so regardless of the dump, we're still paying him at least $700k for 5 years. 

    Which would be better than Weid or Mitch Brown in the ruck, when Max needs a rest or is inured.

    Injury prone seems a bit of a stretch as well.

    Edit: No doubt we will want to manage any particular re-occurences of his pcl going forward, but he's been pretty durable.

    Grundy in our fitness program, dropping some kg's over the summer (Like Max did) would be a decent get on 700k a year, it's worth the risk if the club and medical department have had a good look and think we can do a better job of managing his body. 

    Our fitness program is not our strong suite if you've been reading allot of posts on here lately

    I see the appeal

    Imagine getting 2 first round picks for Jackson (and potentially then some), and being able to pinch Grundy for a 2nd rounder in a cap dump

    Would allow them to be super aggressive in moving up the draft order for a forward or other player they really like

    I'd have more confidence in Grundy 20m out directly in front than Max

    No-one said he's injury prone, but having a PCL followed by stress fractures to the ankle isn't great for a big bloke.

    Happy for Grundy to go to Geelong and convince Esava Ratugolea to come to Melbourne 

    Ratugolea is terrible

    Think it's evident we'll be putting all chips in on the off season. Whether it's throwing a mega offer to a contracted fwd, or grabbing a risky player like Grundy, they aint gonna die wondering

    It's worth exploring.  Grundy and Gawn are very different players with different strengths.  They could complement each other nicely.  He's no Max but he'd be the best second ruck in the league by that far it's not funny.

    Geelong interested too.

    They’ve already stolen Isaac Smith, Max Holmes and Brent Grgic off us.

    Yeah, but Sam Blease was the real heartbreak one...

    I love how it refers to us as flag contenders. I didn’t read the actual story. Just looked at the link, took the bit I liked, and moved on with my life. It’s my current approach to ‘journalism’. It’s actually very efficient, and it saves me giving click revenue to parasites.

    Although I'd be happy to see them weighed down with the albatross that is his contract for the next 5 years it's more likely that they'll be picking up a fair bit of the tab to move him on if they can. On that basis it make sense to at least have the conversation I guess but would taking on all of his remaining 5 years be a non negotiable from his perspective or would he be happy to compromise if it gets him out of Mordor?

    Are we really questioning the FD on this without the full details? Surely there's a point where they deserve some credit and trust?

      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.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
