Oh if you expand the list like that you are no doubt correct

I’m just saying that nobody should think these boards AREN’T being read by the people who are being spoken about herein. 
When Andy occasionally reminds us to be mindful when commenting on contentious issues lest a lawsuit be filed, he does so with very good reason. 
It’s not as though we’re in the cone of silence here.

Coupla things.

1. Why would we help Collingwood relieve salary cap space?
Keep the pressure up both on field and off.
They wanna give De Goey 3.2M or whatever ... Just let 'em keep digging.

2. Haven't heard a peep from either Jackson or Grundy.
These media parasites with nothing better to do than make sheet up seem to think they're league wide list managers.

I wasn't suggesting we help Collingwood god forbid! I was suggesting the Pies want his salary gone so they can fling money at others. This means they will deal with whoever wants to give him a home.

Yep. Otherwise, on that basis, half the threads on here wouldn’t exist! 😂

 

90% I think would be closer.

No-one is gonna file any lawsuit over a random post on some random forum with limited views.
An expensive exercise in futility.

My mail says this is a done deal. Club made the final presentation to Grundy’s mum this week to make sure she doesn’t change his mind.

From all reports both Alan Richardson and Perty had training shorts on at the meeting to sweeten the deal for Mrs Grundy. She’s on board. Perty has lovely pins.

Really?

Think again mate..

A few seasons ago I thought Grundy was the best big man going around. Ruck work, marking, kicking and ground skills were exceptional. Given his injuries and time out of the game , I’m reticent about picking him up given doubts on his capacity to get back to playing regular footy. 

I’m also reticent about picking him up from Collingwood, because they rarely let a talented player go unless they are convinced that the player’s fitness is permanently compromised. There are exceptions of course, Peter Moore, being a case in point, but generally they make few mistakes in regard to their medical assessments.

And I wouldn't trust 'em as far as I could kick 'em.

It'll be interesting if LJ stays. I wonder, could we play LJ, Max and Grundy? Play LJ as a midfielder..

Has Grundy ever played consistent time in the forward line? From my memory he hasn’t (not including 5-10 minute rest periods from rucking duties)

So on Monday David King had is top 10 rated players in finals over the last 5 years....I don't really rate his (Champion Data) ratings but for what it's worth Trac was 4, Clarry 5 &  Grundy 6...

Seems that Grundy might just have something to offer.

edit: they had tp have played at least 5 finals. Of course Dusty was at 1.

Wonder Davey didn't  put himself in there.

Grundy to MFC just defies logic. We already have an established ruck. Best in the league. Gawn isn’t a good forward and neither is Grundy. Both are just sole rucks. Why we would pay top dollar for an excess big man that we don’t need, whilst desperately needing to recruit a key forward - it’s beyond me. It’s actually just stupid. Reminds me of the Lakers recruiting Westbrook. Just a bad fit that would never work, and now they are stuck with a fat contract they cannot move. If rumored numbers are correct we’ll be paying 700k for a second ruck. Just plain bad list management.

Bit harsh, KDA - can't see his (potential) signing extending Max's career?

Hope Richo and Perty were wearing their Reg Grundies under their training shorts. If not, the deal's off.

We are offering Jacko l suspect 700k also so why is it different? Next year we would have gawn/grundy, tmac, and bbb in our fwd line ... with JVR playing from time to time... l will take that as opposed to Weid coming in to be a part time ruck and having a massive hole in the ruck when gawn is injured ... we also get some great draft picks ... overall he makes us a better team

It's fair to say he doesn't spend as much time forward as Max does lately.

Westbrook was possibly the worst decision the Lakers ever made.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
