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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
