Great outcome for us. Grundy is an upgrade on that last ruck man who left for Freo and whom I've forgotten his name!. Get Grundy fit and away we go.

    We lost on the Jackson trade, but at least we won big time on this one.

    Absolute bargain for a top 5 AFL ruckman. 

     

    No other club saw value in the deal... even to the extent they got into discussions/negotiations

    Anyway let's hope it works

    Greatest ruck pairing ever? Certainly in terms of Supercoach scores we are loading up

    The way he has whinged all through this trade period I guess he would.

    Can't think of a better ruck duo in the history of the game on paper

    Max Gawn, the first champion demons player of my life time and the first or second for most of demonland I’d imagine, is now Mason Cox with worse gags and no sunglasses.

    The big bearded fella was never going to last forever but it’s a sad day and we should all take a moment to reflect on that.

    Welcome Brodie. If you’re coachable and willing to play a team brand of football you might be a handy pick up. If he still thinks it’s the Grundy show then he might be off to Tassie in a few years.

    Will need to see him in our clash strip first

    Yes happy days. The Gawn-Grundy combo will be an experiment but it gives them options and even allows each to have a “managed” game through the year.  Ruckwork can be brutal on the body and we’d like to sustain big Maxy as long as possible.
     

    At pick 27, it’s a good deal. Tim Lamb held firm.  He’s welcome back into the Demonland poker night.   Pies had already signed DEGOEY and Mcstay so had to move Grundy $$$ out.

    Who cares, it'll be more than the pie's would like to become public knowledge

    So what are we left with? 13 and….. then 2 firsts, 2 seconds and a third in the strong draft next year, when we have a f/s prospect to boot?

    501k can also be seen to be the bulk of 1m

    I read a million a year with Collingwood covering 300k

    Fantastic result of true

    Pick 27 for Grundy on paper is a great trade. 

    Still hard to picture how him and Gawn will work together without diminishing each others strengths, but at least the club is being creative here and has replaced a ruckman in Jackson immediately.

    Worried how much his salary is going to cost us though!

    I believe the pies are paying $300k of the $1mill a year... so nothing has changed on that front it seems. If we get him fit, paying $700k for an elite ruck is a bargain even at $750k.

    That's not a great deal. It's the one every club rejected when it was floated over a month ago

    And you know that how?

    The report of the trade mentions that Port Adelaide, GWS and Geelong were all interested but that Grundy dismissed each as he didn't want to leave Melbourne.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
