So the mail is that LJ is on a million a year on a 7 year contract

If the Pies are paying $300k per year of Grundie's then we're up for $700k per year

Would we have paid $1Million per year to LJ for 7 years?  Probably not but that's what we might have had to come up with to keep him

But even so, we get a way more advanced player for only $700k per year in comparison

So pay the extra and keep LJ or pay a lot less and get a much better player (right now)

Grundy's growing on me!  I like his acknowledgement that it has been a whirlwind but that he is excited and grateful for the opportunity.  His comments regarding the care shown by MFC are interesting (but seem sincere) given the lack of comment about the coaches at the Pies in his insta post. Regardless, looking forward to seeing him on the field with Max!

Typo

By the by, there has been talk that the bounces (throw in/up) are going to be taken alot quicker, regardless of whether the recognised ruckman is ready or not, with criticism of how long they wait for a ruckman like Max to get to the contest. If they (AFL umpires) enforce this, and we have dominant rucks ready to go, could be a major advantage to us, finally make up for when they were basterds cruelling Jeff White's leap with the 4m circle. Anything that protects the position of ruck is good, it's a feature of the best game on earth.

In terms of having to speak with happiness and positivity when your heart has only just begun mending, Brodie did really well in this video.

Perhaps he knows already he’s come to the right place. 💝

Looking forward to seeing Brodie Grundy run out for the mighty Demons!🔴🔵👹

Let's hope he can help us win against the Magpies! That would be even sweeter!

Seems like the sorta guy who's gonna appreciate having a bit of colour in his working life at last!😄

Also noting he's (Demon-)unicorn-ed himself. Seems like he's confident to wrest the 'there-can-only-be-one' role from whatsisname! Well played, sir.

The unicorn had to be a subtle (or not so subtle) dig at Freo and Jackson.

For mine, a bit overtly passive aggressive really...but of course could be great 'banter'...

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

And flopping onto the ground for free kicks i hope. The Italians are past masters at it ( Fabio Grosso, I'm looking at you !!!)

Still can’t believe we got him, I’m so interested to see how the two premium big men in the comp will work together.

Dees are so lucky to have got such a wonderful footballer as a replacement for Luke, but honestly, there’s not a better person in any footy club than Brodie. Ben Brown is a beauty, but Brodie is something special.  We had very influential people at Collingwood telling us all the time, that there was no better trainer at Collingwood than Brodie, and one of their Physios recently told me that in his seven years at the Club, as long as you didn’t want to talk footy, because he’s not a footy head,  you couldn’t meet a more interesting and engaged person with whom to talk.  Also said that he’s so good with the young blokes.  

I can also assure you all that there are no doubts at all about lingering effects of last seasons injuries, Brodie 100% fit and ready to go.

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?

In short, you’ve nailed it with both. As part of Craig M’s presentation for the job, he had a PPT slide that stated that he saw the Pies primary needs as a Key Position Swingman, a midfield extractor & a quick, goal kicking small that could rotate on the ball  

He presented the problems, so he also presented the solution. He told them that Collingwood has 1 great ruckman & 2 good ruckman taking $2 million out of TPP.  He stated that “my game plan requires 2 good ruckman, I don’t need the great ruckman when he frees up $1 million to get me what I need. 

Graeme W went and got him the first two very quickly, particularly in the case of McStay and then the midfield extractor, Tom Mitchell luckily fell to them during the Trade Period.

I guess this means the 'kick it to the pocket' game plan is sticking around then...

 

Absolutely hope not

Three years of it for one year of reasonable results.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
