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 REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
