Potential for an enormous amount of egg on face if we win this year's flag with Brodie.

    If  DAMIAN    BARRETT had any footy clue...

    THEN..

    ( consensus suggests we can just leave it there.....nothing to add )

    The Tinman would be lonely

    Apparently its Hinkley himself who wants Grundy, unsure where Port as a club sits on those wants and needs though.

    If I'm right in thinking that Port only have picks 36, 38, 71, 89 then they've got very little trade currency to offer us.

    He wanted Kozzie Pickett, too.  Look how well that worked for him.

    He's back in, let's see some shots fired back this weekend..

    Confirmed or just extended bench?

    Considering Brown has been omitted, I'd say Grundy is in 

    Hmm I’m not so sure. Petty might play forward and keep Tomo in.

    The thing is, we need leadership in the forward line.  Brown was providing that.  Petty is still young, and hasn't played enough in the forward to provide leadership.

    It's a fair point, helps to have someone who can  'lead the line'. This is something T-mac provides as well.

    Exactly, we've lacked it to a certain extent since TMac got injured. I believe it's a key aspect as to why our forward line hasn't been firing as well.  Drop Brown, fine, but then bring in that leadership.  Grundy is experienced enough to do that.

    I’d take Butters, or shove it up you Port! 😂

    The media hasn't referenced Brodie or his camp once when talking about a potential 3rd change of club.

    I find the whole thing quite disrespectful towards his character, who himself said he's a professional and will act as such when quizzed by a reporter at Casey.

    He’s played forward more than Grundy. I just think they’ll give Grundy one more week in the vfl before they pull the trigger and bring him back.

    We’ve been keen on Mitch Georgiades since his draft year…

    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

    We don't want Grundy to go unless we get a Godfather deal, because if Grundy goes Collingwood save $$$$$$$$.

    If you believe in ‘culture and values’ of the MFC that Goody always goes on about (and I do) I have no doubt that Grundy will be around for the finals and for a few years to come.  Go Grundy and Go Dees!

    I think what we need is a contest and second and third efforts. Unfortunately Brown doesn't offer much if he's not marking the ball and last week he had zero marks in the F50.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
