You're implying the other argument is wrong because the MFC will do what's right by Grundy. Fact is they don't need to, they can keep him in the VFL for 4 years.

Im not speaking for the MFC and what they will do, but the argument keep him in the VFL has merrit becuase if that's where the MFC sees teh best value for him so be it.

you're correct in your point though the highlighted point is a small detail. I would argue the contract holds the most weight in this argument.

 

If you’re going to fix the ‘grammer’ you might want to do the spell check too…

And, no, the ‘keep him in the VFL’ argument does not have merrit.

Unless ‘merrit’ is a small woodland creature or something.

The club have always tried to do its best by its players. It’s called being a club of choice. Long term reward for treating players well, and creating a culture within and outside the club. 
 

Keeping Grundy is a lose/lose situation for all involved. 

At the end of teh day the club will do what it thinks is best for both. Don't lose any sleep over it.

Doesen't mean the other side of the argument is wrong.

It begs the question, why did he sign in the first place? It's probably safe to say we don't know what's going on and listening to the media holds as much weight as everyone elses opinions.

Well that would be plain stupid and unprofessional. 

We have always acted professional in the way we've accommodate past players in either looking for a fresh start or seeking a trade.

It's why past players leave good terms with the club.

You’re right CS. The club will do what is best for all parties. 
 

Recent history says the punitive route will not be part of anyone’s thinking.

I have said my bit, you’re the one with only nonsense to add. 

I agree your argument is weak, I didn't lose any sleep over it.

I have no issues with that argument, and I agree it's good leadership.

My point was in relation to others saying it's wrong to keep him in the VFL.

I'm not communicating about the actions the MFC might or should take. Fact is if the MFC decides Grundys best value to the club is in the VFL there isn't much apart from bitching publically he can do.

Argue the right or wrong of the decision all you like but clubs in the past have kept players against their will. It's not an unrealistic option.

If he seeks a trade i think Melbourne will happily accommodate that for him.

Lobb's a spud, I'd happily take Lynch for $700K for 2 years

Had had more injuries than most in his last 2 years and lucky not to be outed by the MRO a few times. Would put him on a games played base contest with bonuses for 3 years and tske a chance. Or pay $800 per year for 3 and upset all and sundry.

Cheap Seats does remind me of those woodland creatures. 
 

And yes, I have seen that episode…

Haha yes, sorry you're a victim. It's not personal.

I assume we're done here so I'll let you kids go back to imagination land.

[censored] they should have played Grundy tonight. Tmac offered zero. Grundy would have at least pinched hit in the ruck.

Agree, I thought the McDonald move was correct but he was even less mobile than I thought he would be.

Also, I prefer him taking centre bounces over Gawn.

Grundy is going to get a chance to show how valuable he is. JVR will get at least a week and maybe more. JJ is now a must to come in as well.

I said it in the pre game, the podcast, everywhere. I did not want this afterthought on whether we could have used Grundy or not.

Don't think it would have been a massive difference but geez.

I'm not sure it would have been a big factor either, although being able to throw Grundy into the ruck in the first quarter, when Cox won the first 9 hit outs of the game, could have shifted the momentum and kept us closer at quarter time.

Whoever lost tonight were always going to look at selection and say what might have been.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
