    Not really when you're already paying another elite ruck north of that amount. $1.5m+ out of a $13m salary cap (11.5%) to two ruckman who can't really play elsewhere is lopsided list management.

    True bargain is a strong word. However I think having two ruckman in a team is becoming a bit of a trend and makes the team a lot stronger, especially when you have a powerful contested mark in Gawn who can drift all over the ground. We are essentially paying the same as we would for another KPP so I think it will be quite rewarding

    How does Collingwoods no deal on Grundy compare to ours regarding LJ? 
     

    It is clear they have no leverage and risk busting their cap, but I believe them whereas we could afford to lose LJ and potentially get him to WC but looked like a deer in headlights. 

    Did Meth Coke make us a deal for LJ?

    I don’t think they did, apart from Pick 2 is not on the table

    I'm not 100% sure Max has thought this through fully.  He's gone from rucking against Brodie twice a year to rucking against him at every training session.

    From the highlights package above - I hope he can teach Max to kick straight 🙂

    Looking forward to 2023. Of the $$$ is what is mooted this is great value.

    Gawn won’t ever be AA ruckman again and that’s ok. If he can kick 30+ goals and allow us to kick to the top of the square then great. Let’s fashion a fwd line around that.

    Are you expecting Max to have 120 attempts at goal next year?

    Seem to recall a story of Mark Neeld giving him [censored] in his predraft interview in 2012 and Brodie gave it right back to him. Was just a rumour I think but I’m choosing to believe it and say Brodie is a great guy for that alone.

    I think I see the big picture plan - next year Witts, then Darcy, then ROB and we've fully cornered the ruck market.

    Just saw the news. I know it’s not very grown up, but I was going to crack it if we gave them 13 😂 Very happy Dees supporter here!

    I'm a bit concerned because since he signed that mega deal with Collingwood he's been poor

    Not really. In 2020 when he signed, his form dropped a bit (although not to a ridiculous degree), then in 2021 he had his 4th best possession stat for his career and 3rd best hit outs, and then he only played 6 games this year, so it’s a bit harsh to include this year’s stats.

    Max Gawn and Goody wanted this to happen, so i will be fascinated to see, how it all pans out. 
    Pick 27 is a steal if Reg Grundy is ready to go Round 1

    Filth Supporters are frothing at the mouth, so i am happy about that

    Having a man-bun instead of a mullet is like playing a kick behind the play, which would suit Maxy perfectly.

    They don't have a great record with their champion ruckman do they?  Len Thompson, Peter Moore and now Grundy all left the club in somewhat acrimonious circumstances.  Monkhorst and Manson (not quite in the same league but both premiership players) also finished their careers at other clubs.

    I've  heard that he's been told he can lie down on the ground after any game he likes, provided we win..

    In: Grundy + 13 + Freo F1 + Freo F2

    Out: Jackson + 27 +44 + 67

    Time will tell ultimately but on balance i think we've done fine

    Just need to sort the back-up ruck spot and we're done

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
