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?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
