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

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.

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!

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 as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
