Oh if you expand the list like that you are no doubt correct

I’m just saying that nobody should think these boards AREN’T being read by the people who are being spoken about herein. 
When Andy occasionally reminds us to be mindful when commenting on contentious issues lest a lawsuit be filed, he does so with very good reason. 
It’s not as though we’re in the cone of silence here.

Coupla things.

1. Why would we help Collingwood relieve salary cap space?
Keep the pressure up both on field and off.
They wanna give De Goey 3.2M or whatever ... Just let 'em keep digging.

2. Haven't heard a peep from either Jackson or Grundy.
These media parasites with nothing better to do than make sheet up seem to think they're league wide list managers.

I wasn't suggesting we help Collingwood god forbid! I was suggesting the Pies want his salary gone so they can fling money at others. This means they will deal with whoever wants to give him a home.

Yep. Otherwise, on that basis, half the threads on here wouldn’t exist! 😂

No-one is gonna file any lawsuit over a random post on some random forum with limited views.
An expensive exercise in futility.

My mail says this is a done deal. Club made the final presentation to Grundy’s mum this week to make sure she doesn’t change his mind.

From all reports both Alan Richardson and Perty had training shorts on at the meeting to sweeten the deal for Mrs Grundy. She’s on board. Perty has lovely pins.

Really?

Think again mate..

A few seasons ago I thought Grundy was the best big man going around. Ruck work, marking, kicking and ground skills were exceptional. Given his injuries and time out of the game , I’m reticent about picking him up given doubts on his capacity to get back to playing regular footy. 

I’m also reticent about picking him up from Collingwood, because they rarely let a talented player go unless they are convinced that the player’s fitness is permanently compromised. There are exceptions of course, Peter Moore, being a case in point, but generally they make few mistakes in regard to their medical assessments.

And I wouldn't trust 'em as far as I could kick 'em.

It'll be interesting if LJ stays. I wonder, could we play LJ, Max and Grundy? Play LJ as a midfielder..

If that was to occur, Grundy could play FFwd.

Has Grundy ever played consistent time in the forward line? From my memory he hasn’t (not including 5-10 minute rest periods from rucking duties)

So on Monday David King had is top 10 rated players in finals over the last 5 years....I don't really rate his (Champion Data) ratings but for what it's worth Trac was 4, Clarry 5 &  Grundy 6...

Seems that Grundy might just have something to offer.

edit: they had tp have played at least 5 finals. Of course Dusty was at 1.

Wonder Davey didn't  put himself in there.

Grundy to MFC just defies logic. We already have an established ruck. Best in the league. Gawn isn’t a good forward and neither is Grundy. Both are just sole rucks. Why we would pay top dollar for an excess big man that we don’t need, whilst desperately needing to recruit a key forward - it’s beyond me. It’s actually just stupid. Reminds me of the Lakers recruiting Westbrook. Just a bad fit that would never work, and now they are stuck with a fat contract they cannot move. If rumored numbers are correct we’ll be paying 700k for a second ruck. Just plain bad list management.

Bit harsh, KDA - can't see his (potential) signing extending Max's career?

Hope Richo and Perty were wearing their Reg Grundies under their training shorts. If not, the deal's off.

We are offering Jacko l suspect 700k also so why is it different? Next year we would have gawn/grundy, tmac, and bbb in our fwd line ... with JVR playing from time to time... l will take that as opposed to Weid coming in to be a part time ruck and having a massive hole in the ruck when gawn is injured ... we also get some great draft picks ... overall he makes us a better team

It's fair to say he doesn't spend as much time forward as Max does lately.

Westbrook was possibly the worst decision the Lakers ever made.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
