    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.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
