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

Gees that’s an ordinary comment, but go ahead, fire him up all you can.

Taylor Adams responds.

 

Quality response from Taylor Adams.

Rubbish by Rendell…he’s a foot in mouth sort of guy

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

Needs a foot somewhere else.

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.

Yes we are bringing him in to extent the career of the best ruckman in the league.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
