Great outcome for us. Grundy is an upgrade on that last ruck man who left for Freo and whom I've forgotten his name!. Get Grundy fit and away we go.

We lost on the Jackson trade, but at least we won big time on this one.

Absolute bargain for a top 5 AFL ruckman. 

 

No other club saw value in the deal... even to the extent they got into discussions/negotiations

Anyway let's hope it works

 

Greatest ruck pairing ever? Certainly in terms of Supercoach scores we are loading up

The way he has whinged all through this trade period I guess he would.

Can't think of a better ruck duo in the history of the game on paper

Max Gawn, the first champion demons player of my life time and the first or second for most of demonland I’d imagine, is now Mason Cox with worse gags and no sunglasses.

The big bearded fella was never going to last forever but it’s a sad day and we should all take a moment to reflect on that.

Welcome Brodie. If you’re coachable and willing to play a team brand of football you might be a handy pick up. If he still thinks it’s the Grundy show then he might be off to Tassie in a few years.

Will need to see him in our clash strip first 

 

GO GRAWNDY!!!! ❤️💙

Yes happy days. The Gawn-Grundy combo will be an experiment but it gives them options and even allows each to have a “managed” game through the year.  Ruckwork can be brutal on the body and we’d like to sustain big Maxy as long as possible.
 

At pick 27, it’s a good deal. Tim Lamb held firm.  He’s welcome back into the Demonland poker night.   Pies had already signed DEGOEY and Mcstay so had to move Grundy $$$ out.

How many $$$$ is the question ????

Who cares, it'll be more than the pie's would like to become public knowledge

So what are we left with? 13 and….. then 2 firsts, 2 seconds and a third in the strong draft next year, when we have a f/s prospect to boot?

I read a million a year with Collingwood covering 300k

Fantastic result of true

Pick 27 for Grundy on paper is a great trade. 

Still hard to picture how him and Gawn will work together without diminishing each others strengths, but at least the club is being creative here and has replaced a ruckman in Jackson immediately.

Worried how much his salary is going to cost us though!

Grundy deal crashed Big Footy ...

I believe the pies are paying $300k of the $1mill a year... so nothing has changed on that front it seems. If we get him fit, paying $700k for an elite ruck is a bargain even at $750k.

That's not a great deal. It's the one every club rejected when it was floated over a month ago

And you know that how?

The report of the trade mentions that Port Adelaide, GWS and Geelong were all interested but that Grundy dismissed each as he didn't want to leave Melbourne.

  • 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

    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.
