Both BBB and Tmac have contracts for next year and I don't see anyone taking them. 

They both have contracts but I strongly believe at least one of them will retire.

    Who do I believe, Barrett or Goody?

    Looking forward to seeing Grundy in the finals and beyond

    I understand he had a coffee with Simon Goodwin and was told in confidence that the club was definitely in discussions with Port Power and Grundy was out the door.

    What makes you believe that?

    Injuries, I doubt whether Brown will be able to continue on and it may be the case for Tmac as well. No shame in retiring whilst under contract , plenty have done it.

    Some of the commentary on here is laughable. Max still has 3 years in him, so saying Grundy will be his successor at age 32 is ridiculous. 

    The media are just stating the obvious. Getting Grundy didn't make sense, and it's been proven correct. Max has been BOG in consecutive weeks without Grundy in the side. Max is the superior ruckman, and neither is a forward. The Gawndy experiment is over. 

    Grundy with 4 years on his contract needs to be traded.

    Yeah I know , but both must know physically that their time is up and can retire if they wish to protect their bodies long term with memories of a Premiership in their kit bags, not playing out the season in the two's

    No one in this world would have a coffee with Barrett

    I agree in terms of injuries. Tmac's foot seems absolutely cooked and Browns knee is repetitively troublesome.
    I just don't see either retiring by their own choice and leaving contracted money on the table. 
    I would happily be wrong.

    Yes, However I am not sure if we can fit a payout in this years salary cap.

    Max has 3 years left if he doesn't have to ruck full-time. The reason he played so well solo is because Grundy enabled him to have less load, but he can't sustain this. 

    Max was behind recruiting Grundy and remains so. What's laughable is that people can't understand this.

    On what planet do Port get this deal done? They have ZERO draft leverage and Grundy is contracted. 
    Delusional.

    Max has been the premier ruckman in the comp for the past 6 years as the primary ruckman. All of a sudden Grundy lessening Max's load is the reason he has returned to being the premier ruckman. Give me a spell.

    Did you pay any attention at all to Max's condition last year?

    Did you pay any attention to Max driving Brodie's recruitment?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
