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?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
