I might have missed it, but what is the Pies rationale for trading Grundy?

Do the pies think he doesn't suit how they want to play or is it as simple as wanting to get his salary off the books?

Salary off the books l believe…..

    Really hope if Gawn is going to be spending more time forward he improves his goal kicking otherwise it won’t work.

    I believe the club has sent he and Ed Langdon to Italy to work on their goalkicking

    Graeme Wright on record as saying their high-investment in ruckmen was at odds with their list profile strategy. It wasn’t necessarily just to clear cap-space, it was to redress the balance of the list (in line with their list strategy)

    I'm glad Grundy is the sort of bloke who isnt over the moon to have been shipped out of a place he put so much time and effort into. Upto the coaches and his new team mates to turn that passion into a point to prove for his, and our,  benefit. The bloke is a gun.

     

    I hope they play both Gawn and Grundy in tandem with one drifting back behind the play (Gawn for contested marks) and one drifting forward (Grundy with his mid-like footskills). Could do some real damahe

    We're going to be difficult to match-up against because of the acquisition of Grundy

    For the working model we only have to look at how we went about it with Gawn & Jackson (more than 2 years worth of a sample size)

    We'll go about it with a few differences but Grundy is a big upgrade on the actual output of Jackson.  So the results should be more fruitful in an area where we already hold sway

    From what I've seen of Grundy he serves as a link player through the middle as well. Regularly exceeding 20 possessions which included a couple of seasons where he exceeded 500 possessions.  That's apart from his stellar ruckwork

    In simple terms both ruckman can patrol a certain area of the ground swapping roles occasionally. The reason why we don't often see 2 ruckman in the starting 18 is that most teams usually only have 1 decent ruckman/follower

    We've got 2 and that is an advantage.  And both just happen to be 2 of the very best

    What was that about not being a decent leader? Sounds like a pretty good one to me. Not afraid to have the tough conversations. No wonder Taylor Adams came out so forcefully against the accusation.

    And like others, I reckon he comes across as a top bloke in that interview. Usually someone who says they're pretty down to earth isn't, but he bucks the trend.

    In other words a salary dump

    Seems like a really thoughtful, self aware and considered dude. Glad to have him.

    If this was 6 years ago we would expect Grundy to be the saviour- 

    its great that we can bring a guy in of this quality who can play a role in a very good team . 

    Go Dees

    It's very likely six years ago Grundy wouldn't have chosen us.

    We are a destination club, even if both of our top acquisitions were salary dumps for their original clubs.

    We just don't seem to be a destination club for big KPF... Oh how I wished McKay would be available next year!!

    Not sure any of the DA girls noticed the pooch’s glasses. Nor the pooch for that matter.

    Sure is! 😃

    I’m not a participant though, purely a spectator. I can’t speak for the others.

    Don't think Grundy has had a bun for about 2 years, has he?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
