Farewell Brodie Grundy

Reading glasses? Cardigans? Man-bun? 
You’ve come to the right place, Brodie. 
Welcome to the MFC!

Demonland: Tim lamb has lost it

Tim lamb: turns 3 late picks into brodie grundy with a reduced contract 

[one_demon 826]

I'm a bit concerned because since he signed that mega deal with Collingwood he's been poor

Not really when you're already paying another elite ruck north of that amount. $1.5m+ out of a $13m salary cap (11.5%) to two ruckman who can't really play elsewhere is lopsided list management.

True bargain is a strong word. However I think having two ruckman in a team is becoming a bit of a trend and makes the team a lot stronger, especially when you have a powerful contested mark in Gawn who can drift all over the ground. We are essentially paying the same as we would for another KPP so I think it will be quite rewarding

How does Collingwoods no deal on Grundy compare to ours regarding LJ? 
 

It is clear they have no leverage and risk busting their cap, but I believe them whereas we could afford to lose LJ and potentially get him to WC but looked like a deer in headlights. 

Did Meth Coke make us a deal for LJ?

I don’t think they did, apart from Pick 2 is not on the table

I'm not 100% sure Max has thought this through fully.  He's gone from rucking against Brodie twice a year to rucking against him at every training session.

From the highlights package above - I hope he can teach Max to kick straight 🙂

[Demonland 70,283]

I guess this is now an injury update and message for us now.

Looking forward to 2023. Of the $$$ is what is mooted this is great value.

Gawn won’t ever be AA ruckman again and that’s ok. If he can kick 30+ goals and allow us to kick to the top of the square then great. Let’s fashion a fwd line around that.

Are you expecting Max to have 120 attempts at goal next year?

[Bang Bang Bang 5,767]

Seem to recall a story of Mark Neeld giving him [censored] in his predraft interview in 2012 and Brodie gave it right back to him. Was just a rumour I think but I’m choosing to believe it and say Brodie is a great guy for that alone.

Possibly 

[old55 22,825]

I think I see the big picture plan - next year Witts, then Darcy, then ROB and we've fully cornered the ruck market.

[Matt 424]

Just saw the news. I know it’s not very grown up, but I was going to crack it if we gave them 13 😂 Very happy Dees supporter here!

[Royal Demon 112]

Are we going to see Brodie paraded around in Demon's gear like every other traded player at other clubs?

Not really. In 2020 when he signed, his form dropped a bit (although not to a ridiculous degree), then in 2021 he had his 4th best possession stat for his career and 3rd best hit outs, and then he only played 6 games this year, so it’s a bit harsh to include this year’s stats.

[Sir Why You Little 36,653]

Max Gawn and Goody wanted this to happen, so i will be fascinated to see, how it all pans out. 
Pick 27 is a steal if Reg Grundy is ready to go Round 1

Filth Supporters are frothing at the mouth, so i am happy about that

Having a man-bun instead of a mullet is like playing a kick behind the play, which would suit Maxy perfectly.

[Swooper1987 3,224]

They don't have a great record with their champion ruckman do they?  Len Thompson, Peter Moore and now Grundy all left the club in somewhat acrimonious circumstances.  Monkhorst and Manson (not quite in the same league but both premiership players) also finished their careers at other clubs.

[Willmoy1947 3,969]

I've  heard that he's been told he can lie down on the ground after any game he likes, provided we win..

[daisycutter 29,338]

so, swapped a bogan for a hipster. sounds about right, 

[BDA 22,279]

In: Grundy + 13 + Freo F1 + Freo F2

Out: Jackson + 27 +44 + 67

Time will tell ultimately but on balance i think we've done fine

Just need to sort the back-up ruck spot and we're done
