    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 🙂

    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?

    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.

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

    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!

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
