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

    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.

    Extended bench but gee that would be cruel if they nobbled him from here.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
