    If Grundy does go, do we try to get Silvagni from the Blues as the more model 2nd ruck that has some forward craft? He looks to be on the outer to free up cap space for De Koning

    Seriously, wtf would Matthew Lloyd know?  

    Gotta give him some credit, a few years ago he wouldn't have been able to pronounce the name Brodie Grundy.

    I'm just sick of the media hacks saying things like "out of favour" and "sure to seek a trade" like they'd know anything.  Stick to your own lane, Lloyd, you know jack [censored] about a club you know nothing about, and all you're trying to do is keep up with fellow media hacks in trying to be relevant.

    If Grundy doesn't come "back into the team in coming weeks", he'll seek a trade.  No [censored] Sherlock!  But that's not going to happen because he will be back in the team.

    I say we go after Jackson from Freo in that situation. 😝

    What I don't get is the talk from the media that MFC will have to pay Grundy's contract if he decides to move. On what planet do these morons live? IF Grundy were to request a trade, it is he who would want to break the contract, giving him no right to demand a contract payout. I do NOT think MFC actually want him off their books. He is a great backup to Gawn and will play games next year and beyond. The nonsense around Grundy is just another example of the media hatred for the MFC. It's all negative press for the Dees, as usual. Get stuffed media!

    On top of Grundy playing forward for Casey, it was pleasing to see young Jefferson crash a few packs and do some nice things on the weekend.

    Add a bit more muscle and bigger tank over summer and he's right in the mix for games in 2024

    Keep it up young man - you and JVR are the future of our forward line!

    Our forward line has worked best over longer periods when we have played 3 talls ... that means the 3rd defender picks up our resting rucks and we get goals out of Grundy the same way Jacko did. So Tomlinson stays put, and we bring in Petty as a forward and consider whether we swap Grundy/Schache for Brown this week or next week

    If he leaves mfc make a net draft profit and we don't pay anyone extra cash. Media have lost it. Makes interesting story to suggest he will be paid by 3 clubs at once because it would be a first is all

    Glad to see so many people waking up to how puerile the Media have become, and by the way i do not buy that they are only doing their job, because it isn't.

    Let's study some teams who would feel as though their chances of a well earned flag could be in jeopardy. 

    Although without mentioning names we beat them both, and coincidentally they both have heavily bias media connections..

    Grundy and Oliver have big roles to play in how we finish this year and they know it...

    That's the point people in the media are blindly ignoring.  If (and it's a big if) Grundy wants a trade, Melbourne would have to agree to it, and I don't see that happening.

    Grundy is the perfect back up player for Gawn if or when he's injured. Why on earth would we trade a first class back up ruckman? Gawn will need his rests and Grundy will help out.

    He's only been at the club for 5 minutes but already the media have him one foot out the door.

    The greasy media hates us and loves to try and trip us up.

    The media just want clicks.  Good stories about us are mainly read by MFC supporters only.  Bad stories are read by a fraction of all other club's supporters, especially big rival clubs and at times when we are a threat.  They do the numbers and work out where the most clicks are.

    The Front Bar is now the only ‘footy show’ that I watch other than the actual games that are shown on tv. (Stating the obvious, to be entertained not informed)

    Football shows have somehow morphed into being ‘tabloid tv’ if that makes sense. Can’t see this changing anytime soon.

    Somewhat desperately perhaps, Demonland threads and podcasts is my  ‘go to’ for footy information nowadays.

    I don’t know why some get so incensed at the media; they only, by and large, have a shallow look at all teams.

    Here we have a ruckman playing VFL on $650k, learning enough forward craft to play in a deep finals run after a career famously struggling to play forward rules and take contested marks.

    Neither is there nuance readily apparent that has been mentioned by many on here.

    So until the narrative changes - and it may be this Sunday - this is where it is.

    Your last paragraph also hillites that these Gawny and podcasts are all a threat to their potency, and informed information.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
