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.

    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

    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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
