I thought Grundy could kick goals

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

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

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.ย

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.ย 

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

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.ย 

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 Maxย

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 Melbourneย 

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

Why?

WalkingCivilWar could get the Demon Army to turn that into a chant you know, Bbo.

Gee are you en dee why ... Grundy!ย  Clap clap clap.ย  Grundy!ย  Clap clap clap. etc

It's worth exploring.ย  Grundy and Gawn are very different players with different strengths.ย  They could complement each other nicely.ย  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.

Theyโ€™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 didnโ€™t read the actual story. Just looked at the link, took the bit I liked, and moved on with my life. Itโ€™s my current approach to โ€˜journalismโ€™. Itโ€™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?ย

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

Ties us over until Jeff Whiteโ€™s kid is ready to be first ruck ๐Ÿคฃ

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
