Take note, Luke Jackson. THIS ⬆️ is how it should be done. BG = all class.

Brodie Grundy is now a Dee
Ned Guy's contract was all you hoped it would be
But Fly and Wrighty, Fly and Wrighty couldn't guarantee
That by Tuesday evening you would still a Magpie be

What a force across the AFL for the next few years.  Gawn and Grundie, "The Gee Force" or "the Gee Dees" heading the 'awesome foursome', Oliver, Petracca, Brayshaw, Viney. 

The excitement is arising, 2021 reawakening

Yep. All class.

Brodie is going to bring a different dynamic to the group. Jackson appeared to me like he was in no way a leader. Brodie will add weight to the leadership around the place and be automatically respected. Good fr the club.

I'm so intrigued how this is going to work structure wise.

Say both play 80% game time, obviously one would be in the ruck and the other spending time up forward.  Thats fine.

I'm just thinking of how teams this year cut us up by going through the centre of the ground instead of down the line where we'd own the skies.  Does one of the Grawndy then setup behind the play as an intercept marker down the line with maybe May/Lever to go more in the centre as another interceptor?

Grundy I remember is a great clearance player with good skills and grunt.  I can't remember many big, contested marks like what Maxy does.  

So I'm thinking Grundy will be our main ruck with Gawn basically plugging a role down back when things are tight or having the ball bombed on that magnificent scone of his.

Speaking of, I’ve just been on my Demon Army WhatsApp chat and I’m blushing like a mofo. First time ever it’s  been so racy. I’d even go so far as to say hot n steamy. Even the blokes are joining in. This is one of many, many examples of what’s causing such hormonal raucousness …

Ok that’s one example. Here’s another…

But this is the one causing all sorts…

Personally, I’m a little meh. But if anyone’s got a few buckets of water or better still a fleet of firefighting hoses, they’re needed over on WhatsApp. STAT!

Edit: update… phew. idk what happened there but things have returned to normal and now we’re back to talking about all things crepe paper and sticky tape.

Five minutes of craziness has ended and DA folks back to their staid middle-aged selves. Thank god.

Welcome to the MFC Mr Grundy. Once you have been cleansed of the filth I hope you and Max can provide a positive ruck combination that oppositions struggle against.

Is Gawn and Grundy the best ruck duo ever?  The only other I can think of is Polly Farmer and Sam Newman.

Strawberry odwyer and Stynes!

To all the doubting Thomas, we are going to give in, we will get bent over. You know  nothing we stuck it out and won. The pies caved they had no choice. Go Dees. 

Can't say that with Freeo. We were going to insist on 7 or under

Thought his statement was very lovely and spoke of a player deeply hurt by what went on at Collingwood. 

No different to Treloar, he will have a point to prove and might finally help us beat Collingwood.

Telling for what he doesn't say: no thank you to the club, coaches or staff.

Good on him for being genuine.

At least Brodie didn't tell everyone he'd been talking to Melb since mid year. As genuine a final message as they come.

Grundy in the middle, gawn floating around back, petty up forward?

And then for the kick ins - Gawn on the left flank. Grundy on the right. Players ready to smash it straight through the corridor after. Perfection.

2 firsts and a second, he is hardly worth one first.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
