Weird that Sidebottom was cut out as well yet finished top 5 in the BnF then...

 

Sidebottom looked disinterested in 2021, hence his relegation. McRae got him firing again.

    So Grundy was dropped from the leadership group because McRae doesn't rate him, but Sidebottom was dropped because McRae rates him... Makes sense.

    McRae doesn't pick the leadership group by the way, it's done by vote.

    New coach that doesn't rate him, and took them from a bottom 4 to a top 4 team. McRae knows what he's doing.

    So the guy who didn't even make a GF knows more than the guy who coached a flag in 2021?

    If a team asks for a top 25 pick and we get pick 27 there’s no way in hell we should suddenly offer 19! 

    Once they have Tom Mitchell lined up they’ll do the deal for 27

    I suspect the difference btw 25 and 27 is that we might offset this against the portion Collingwood pay of Grundy's salary, e.g. rather than 300k they might chip in 280k or similar.

    They can try that. I’d say watch for the Friday afternoon news dump on Grundy

    If he's such a terrible leader why did Collingwood give him a 7 year deal on $1m per year. Rendell is just denigrating Grundy because he wants to leave his beloved pies. Very transparent

    Quick query.  Bowes is a salary dump and cats get pick 7. So it’ll mean they get a player and a much lower draft pick. So why do the Pies think they hold the bargaining chips. 
     

    Lamb should offer pick 27 and not blink.

    Pies legit are completely cornered here. They can't keep him on the books past trade period, they're over the cap with Mcstay and Hill now. It's awesome. This is the best consolation prize for a crappy end to the season

    I heard it on SEN at the time and thought it was a clear backhander by Rendel. Was unnecessary and sounded targeted to me, he repeated the comments several times

    Glass houses, Matt!

    What the [censored] has leadership got to do with it ?

    We've got good leaders! 

    We want Grundy to play good footy . Simples !!!

    Exactly right. We are not bringing him to captain. We are bringing him in as backup to the best ruckman and captain in the league thanks

    Just quietly, I think we might be bringing him to play the lead role, with Max playing the supporting role.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
